Year 2000 Poster Appraisal

Walt Disney World Millennium Celebration Year 2000 Poster

This is a framed commemorative art print celebrating the year 2000 Millennium Celebration at Walt Disney World Resort. The artwork features iconic characters Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, and Pluto dressed in international costumes, signifying the 'Celebrate the Future Hand in Hand' theme. In the background, the Spaceship Earth geodesic sphere from EPCOT is prominently visible, adorned with a large glittery '2000' logo topped with a star, framed by vibrant bursts of fireworks against a nighttime sky. The composition also includes elements of the 'Tapestry of Nations' parade puppets. The print is professionally matted with an off-white border and mounted in a sleek, thin black metal or composite frame under protective glass. The colors are highly saturated, typical of offset lithography used for souvenir merchandise during this era. The condition appears to be excellent with no visible fading, moisture damage, or foxing on the paper. The frame shows some minor light reflections, but no significant scuffs or structural damage are evident. This piece serves as a significant piece of Disney theme park history, marking the specific transition into the new millennium with the specialized EPCOT branding that was temporary to that era.
