When we last spoke, the Walt Disney Studios presentation at D23 was winding down and I was wiping the tears from my face, as Kermit and the gang had just turned me back into a five year old, but if you will recall, I had said that this moment …
In addition to being the best location for surviving the zombie apocalypse, the Land pavilion at Epcot also has the distinction of containing one of the best little known secrets of the park, and no, I’m not talking about DVC. The “Behind the Seeds” tour takes guest into the greenhouses …
When I was a kid, my most memorable moments were not with Disney. Sure, I was a big fan of the movies, cartoons and the theme parks, but when it came down to it, I was a Muppet kid. I wore out my tape of “Muppets Take Manhattan” and “Muppet …
There has been a positive trend lately, of Disney embracing their history, much to the delight of fans everywhere. From the Sleeping Beauty walk though in the castle at Disneyland, to the return of the original Enchanted Tiki Room at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World, things are looking …
Walt Disney World gets far too much of my hard earned money. Some of it goes to food, some to my lodging, but the vast majority of it goes to merchandise. Yes, I’ll admit it I’m the guy with Disney junk all over my apartment. Olzewski models here, attraction poster …
Something startles you awake and you find yourself alone in the movie theater at the exit of Maelstrom. You remember sitting down for a moment to “rest your eyes” and must have fallen asleep. So, where is everyone? You wander out into the pavilion proper, yet still there is not …
With the past few weeks being very wordy and very Future World oriented, I decided to give everyone a break from having to read my drivel and get to see some of my favorite shots of World Showcase. If you get a chance this week, hop on over to the …
Here we are, friends, at the end of our alternate soundtrack game for EPCOT Center. We just have Future World west to go, and this provides slightly more of a challenge than Future World East, due to the fact that the pavilions on the west side of the park …
Welcome back to “A Mix Tape for EPCOT Center.” When last we were together we had left the entrance plaza and decided our next step would be to pass through the Mouse Gears breezeway into Future World West. Home of Test Track, Mission: Space and a few gone, but not …
When I was younger and my friends and I would make regular 2 hour drives to visit Disneyland, one fun game that we used to enjoy in the car was “Alternate Soundtrack.” In those days before the introduction of things like “Rockin’ Space Mountain,” which actually featured an alternate soundtrack, …
Our beloved EPCOT Center has been in the Disney news quite a bit lately, with the announcement from a top Brazilian newspaper claiming that Brazil will soon be added to World Showcase. Whether or not that ever comes to fruition remains to be seen, but the rumors did get me …
Last night Mr. DAPS and I had the pleasure to record a segement on the podcast “Rediscovering the Future” in their ongoing series on EPCOT Center, past and present. Our segment focused on current EPCOT Center, Innoventions, Spaceship Earth and the future of EPCOT Center. We also took a quick …
I think it’s time for a change of pace. So far, this journey has kept us exclusively in Future World, and that is but half of the glory of EPCOT Center, so let’s make our way over toward the World Showcase promenade, make a quick left where we find ourselves …
The true icon of EPCOT Center isn’t an attraction. Not the upside down waterfall, not the Fountain of Nations, and not even Spaceship Earth, “the big golf ball,” itself. The true heart of EPCOT Center beats within the heart of a small purple dragon named Figment. At the time of …
So sorry for the hold up , folks. If you remember, I promised detours and unfortunately I was lost on an aforementioned detour for the past few weeks, but we are back on track to continue our trip together through my imagination. So, why EPCOT Center? What is it about …
