I was thinking that we might be going away from Disneyland too. Part of Wallace’s message to us at Club 33 was that we must work together and can’t do this alone. What if he means we literally can’t do this alone because we can’t be in CA and FL at once. What happens if we overlay the plate/compa$$ to Disneyworld? Does anything line up?

Circlevision also moved to Epcot/Florida. At least that’s what Wikipedia is telling me!

Yup. In fact his last on-film/TV appearance was the first public announcement of EPCOT. Sadly Walt passed away in December of that year, before his vision of EPCOT (hint: the “C” stood for “city” instead of “community”) could be completed. I wanted to note that most/all of the dates we have on the timeline are before his death and before the major overhaul of Tomorrowland in 1967 that saw the arrival of the Peoplemover and Adventure Thru Inner Space.

I am going in a completely different direction from relating all of this to tomorrowland. During 1966, wouldn’t Disney been busy with EPCOT ?

Exactly. They looked for optimistic futurists, not bogged down with doubt and negativity. They hopefully found those with a keen eye for observation and a mind for the future.

Walt really was into cycles…

Yeah, mine is virtually identical to the one posted by Katherine earlier today. Words faded are: need, (part of) recruit, is, (part of) recruitment, (part of) overt, state, on, look, (part of) burdened, avoid, and fixated. And there may be even more that are only slightly faded. Not sure if faded words are significant or not.

Wow, that is a crazy graphic and an interesting connection to San Uriah, but the article doesn’t seem to help us very much, unless I’m missing something. Thanks for trying the black light and flash, I was wondering where I could find a black light. Does your message have some of the letters and words lighter than the others? I think mine did, but it is at home and I am at work.

Ok, here’s…maybe something? I popped San Uriah into an anagram solver. It came up with mostly gibberish, but one recognizable word was the surname “Hirasuna.” Sure enough googling “Hirasuna Disney” got me an article written by a D. Hirasuna from a couple years ago with a nice shiny graphic:

Just hit my message with a black light and a flash camera, also checked for a watermark. No beans. :/

So far we’ve gotten tipped off by Wallace in the situations where flash photography was necessary – but yeah, maybe there’s some less obvious instruction there, too!
