I like to get souvenirs that I can use everyday to remind me of our latest trip to Disney. This time we spent a lot of time in Tomorrowland (which we never do) because of the Monster Laugh Floor. I got a coffee cup -- tall, thin, aqua & burgundy with very futuristic drawing & quotes from Walt Disney & the Carousel of progress. There is a sort of clock along the top with the time "9:05 AM" showing. What is the significance of this time to Tomorrowland.

Thanks!
