LOST EPCOT - World Showcase - History "Back, back, over the falls!!" Basic World Showcase is the second themed area of Epcot, after Future World. Nine of the pavilions opened with the park's opening on October 1, 1982. Morocco opened in 1984, and Norway in 1988. Very few major changes have occured in World Showcase. The WEDway PeopleMover Without a doubt my favor attraction at the Magic Kingdom was the WEDway PeopleMover. The name of the attraction was changed in 1994 to the “Tomorrowland Transit Authority” but to me it’s the “WEDway PeopleMover”. The attraction opened July 1, 1975 and although today's Tomorrowland has been transformed into something very different, the WEDway ride system and vehicles have not change at all. It looks and feels like a WED attraction should. As shown from the 1975 Magic Kingdom guide book, the WEDway was an E-ticket from day one. Here’s an E-Ticket from June 1975.

Remembering Annette Funicello at Disneyland Park As you may know, Annette Funicello was discovered by Walt Disney himself while attending an amateur program at the Starlight Bowl in Burbank when she was just 13 years old. That single meeting led to one of the most enduring associations in show business history. Earlier today, Disney chairman and CEO Bob Iger spoke for all of us at Disney when he said, “Annette was and always will be a cherished member of the Disney family, synonymous with the word Mouseketeer, and a true Disney Legend. She will forever hold a place in our hearts as one of Walt Disney’s brightest stars, delighting an entire generation of baby boomers with her jubilant personality and endless talent. Annette was well known for being as beautiful inside as she was on the outside, and she faced her physical challenges with dignity, bravery and grace. All of us at Disney join with family, friends, and fans around the world in celebrating her extraordinary life.”
Walt Disney's Los Angeles 1923-1931: Pedaling Past History Editors Note: When we last left Buddy Robinson, he had just rode his bicycle past the home of Robert Disney on Kingswell Avenue. Buddy suddenly remembers that he wants to check what's playing at the Vista Theatre, so he points his bicycle south off Kingswell onto Hillhurst Avenue. He travels the four blocks to the corner of Hillhurst and Hollywood Boulevard where the Vista is located. He decides that the double bill of Tailspin and The Three Musketeers is to his liking and quickly exchanges a dime for a ticket and a few hours of vintage Hollywood escapism.

April 2015 Disneyland Photo Report — DisneylandLive In the third week of April an exciting new movie sneak peek opened at Disneyland. Brad Bird's ‘Tomorrowland’ took over the Magic Eye Theater, but it’s more than that. The entryway has been repainted and includes artwork and movie photos from the production of the film, most of which were recreated for the 1964 / 65 New York World’s Fair portion of the film! The movie sneak peek lasts about 10 minutes and features some really impressive scenes from the 1964 / 65 New York World's Fair. Walt Disney was a major contributor to that World's Fair, creating four unique attractions for his visitors.
