As you’ve probably guessed by now…I love Epcot! It is my favorite park at the Walt Disney World Resort. I am also somewhat of a purist and dearly miss Disney’s extinct attractions. I have fond memories of visiting Epcot as a child and even in my earlier years, preferred it over the Magic Kingdom.
My friend Armand shared this fantastic video with me the other day…”EPCOT Center: A Souvenir Program”. It’s a retro look at the theme park and will give you a glimpse of the magic that existed back in the 80’s. Several of the extinct attractions are featured: World of Motion, Communicore (with SMRT-1 Robot), the Original Journey into Imagination with Figment and the Future Playground, a fantastic view of SpaceShip Earth without the Monolith Graveyard that currently blocks your view now, Kitchen Kabaret …etc. It’s just a fantastic piece…and I loved to see the outfits everyone was rockin’ back then. I hope you enjoy reminiscing as much as I did…
These vids are wonderful — “to enjoy the ambiance of Venice!”
LOL! In the first segment, the “computer aided car design” soooo draws a Prius! How funny.
Love this!
I remember, but do not miss, the flamingos at Epcot!
I hope everyone enjoys the videos and, like me, gets very nostalgic for the WDW of the past. I have more videos i am finding all the time and will keep Amanda updated on them when I do post them. Amanda, I’ll do the easy work of finding, editing and posting the videos. You do the hard part by keeping this awesome blog going and sharing them with all the fans. ^.^
M.M. I just got the biggest kick out of the duds everyone was wearing….
Amber…Where were the flamingos?
Thanks Armand! You Rawk!
