Star sighting: Mo’Nique at Epcot, Captain EO

Oscar-winning actress Mo’Nique prepares to view “Captain EO” at Epcot with 3-D glasses and one Mickey Mouse glove — very Michael Jackson on Friday, the re-opening day of the film at Walt Disney World. Mo’Nique is a comedian but won the Academy Award earlier this year for her dramatic role in Precious.
Also attending Friday were guests Jaymes Gabourel (sporting a glove of his own) and his aunt Andrea Smith, both of Washington, D.C. The Captain EO signage in the background is the original decor used for the attraction during its original run at Epcot from 1986 to 1994. When EO was replaced by Honey, I Shrunk the Audience, the sign was moved and bolted inside a maintenance building at Disney World.
EO will be at Epcot for a limited time, although Disney has not yet announced an end date.

We went on Thursday for the passholder event. The original show was good but this updated version is great.The theatre is very interactive and the show as much fun as ever.Full of small but new surprises.We combined the evening with that Janet Jackson tribute at the America’s Gardens and it made for an all wround fun night
Not very easy to miss.
Mo’Thaks.
