omponents of the phenomenally popular Tapestry of Nations procession have been enhanced with new "Dream Spinner" characters and floats. The Dream Spinners include Elphen, who is fun and imaginative, representing things that are organic; Cosmos, who reflects on the galaxy and exploration; and Leonardo Columbus, the Renaissance character who reflects both the wisdom of the past and looks toward the future.
Children are key players in the Tapestry of Dreams procession. At Kidcot Fun Stops throughout World Showcase, kids are given "dream" stars to decorate and get stamped at each World Showcase pavilion. "Kids peel out the center of these medallions that represent their dream," Haupt says. "When the parade comes by, they can put the dream discs in the nets carried by Elphen and Cosmos, who will put the discs in the Dream Spinner float. Hopefully, their dream for the future will come true.
"We think that will be a great addition to Epcot. It looks enthusiastically toward the future, celebrates the joy of childhood and kids' dreams for the future."
