Remember When?

Remember Epcot used to have a fantastic ride called Horizons? And the theme song for that ride promised "new horizons for you and me" in the future?

Remember When?

Remember when The Land at Epcot ended with this great little song?

Remember When?

I found this great clip on YouTube. It's from the Magic Kingdom's daily parade in 1977. It's remarkable because so few people had video cameras back then and the sound and video are very good considering it was 1977!

Unbuilt Disney Attractions

Over at Top10Disney.com there's a great list of 10 unbuilt Disney attractions. Her3's one of the 10 but you can read the entire list at here.

WestCOT

Planned as an Epcot style park for the west coast, WestCOT was to be built on the area that was the Disneyland parking lot and is now Disney’s California Adventure. With guests visiting Walt Disney World in Orlando for several days – or even a week, Michael Eisner wanted to keep guests at Disneyland for more than one day. The answer was to build a second park and he challenged the Imagineers to “wow” him. The result was a three billion dollar park, WestCOT. However, following the dismal financial performance of the opening of EuroDisney (now Disneyland Paris), Michael Eisner was weary of investing such a large sum of money. Instead he had plans drawn up for a less-expensive option for a second park, and Disney’s California Adventure was born.

Parades from the Past - Walt Disney World's 15th Anniversary Parade

1986 marked the 15th anniversary of Walt Disney World. To celebrate, a new parade in the Magic Kingdom was introduced. The parade featured roller skaters, some funky break dancing inspired moves... all very 1980's! There were even some great lyrics suck as "You're looking good, you're looking fine, you're looking just like Frankenstein."

Overall, this parade was a fun, classic 1980’s Walt Disney World parade… fun with great music.
