The Epcot International Festival of the Arts gives us an opportunity to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Disney on Broadway. We'll look at the history of this amazing theatrical portfolio, which began with a "Tale as Old as Time" whose roots were more than 30 years ago at what was then Disney-MGM Studios. Today there are over two dozen major shows that have played on Broadway, The West End, and across the globe. I'll share with you some of my favorites and why--along with some stories you may not have heard about these phenomenal shows. And we'll step over to Epcot to talk about a new exhibit that has just opened up at CommuniCore in World Celebration. It's just one component of a very popular time of year in this park. Join us as we celebrate 30 years of Disney on Broadway at Epcot's International Festival of the Arts. ________________________________________________________ More Disney Insights can be found below!

Universal Orlando Resort unveiled details about Dark Universe, one of the worlds coming to Universal Epic Universe in 2025. Dark Universe will feature a dark ride (Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment), a spinning family coaster (Curse of the Werewolf), a Monster Makeup Experience, character meet and greets, dining, and shopping. As the only ‘non-IP' area at Epic Universe, we think Dark Universe caters to a niche market but also holds the most potential for future extension. Plus, how Disney empowered the guests and cast during their Pride Nite events and why CommuniCore offers essential creature comforts.
It's our sexiest episode ever with stories of theme park shenanigans, but also Nathan, Dave, and Brii talk EPCOT's Communicore disaster as well as Universal's new nighttime show.----Find all our social media links, buy merch, and more at ratcastlepod.comFollow Rat Castle on Youtube, TikTok, Twitter (X), Facebook, and Instagram!

Your weekly news and notes show highlighting the biggest news from the Disney Parks plus much more fun. Disney lost a legend since our last show. Richard Sherman, and his brother, brought to life many of the rides and movies we love with their earworm songs. Communicore building is now open. Why is is so bad? Also, how close are we to the Tropical Americas announcement? We have permits showing that construction work could start soon. Also, being away for a week has given us a ton to talk about across the Disney properties. Peter from Princesses and the Mouse Disney Travel might be with us tonight to talk about this week's news, a new Top 3 and either a Deep Dive or Lorcana segment. Remember that we are migrating all of our DPI Live shows to YouTube and Twitch as our main platforms.

In the 208th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave have two totally different schedules, as Jenn is in the midst of her busy summer travel schedule and is out until the very end of the show. Friend of the show and fan fave #KylaKylaKyla steps in to co-host, as she's getting ready for her own show, while Dave discussed signing his son up for the DAS pass. Kyle and Dave then chat about the new popcorn buckets at Hollywood Studios... the thirsty guest in 7 Dwarfs Mine Train... the walls coming down in Epcot... and Kyla's feelings about CommuniCore. Then, they do a Magic Kingdom run-through, giving Kyla a chance to publicly declare her MK faves in a game we call "Love It, Like It, or Meh". Finally, Kyla steps out for kid duty, and Jenn joins the show for the last few minutes to give her review of CommuniCore, the new Disney Dreams that Soar drone show, and of course, Tiana's Bayou Adventure.
Topics of Discussion: Matt's thoughts on Communicore Hall & Plaza Small update for Tiana's Bayou Adventure Country Bear Jamboree openin The Little Mermaid - A Musical Adventure details Revamped Dining Room Unveiled at EPCOT's San Angel Inn Restaurante
Tom and Eric discuss the events of the weekend, which included the media preview of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and CommuniCore Hall.
This week the Vice President of Epcot, Kartika Rodriguez, announced that “after years of creative vision, innovation and dedicated work, I'm thrilled to share that the historic transformation of our park is complete.” We will look at this final puzzle piece of this important transformation. CommuniCore is a complex which includes food and beverage, meet ‘n' greets, indoor and outdoor event space, and a great new show. We look at the original proposal for not just all of Epcot, but specifically for what is now CommuniCore. The soul of this place is the ¡Celebración Encanto! This show is hot, and the theater much hotter–literally. I review all of this in detail. We talk in memoriam about what is missing as this transformation comes to an end. And we talk about new attractions that are just around the corner at Walt Disney World. __________________________________________________ My new book, A Century of Powerful Disney Insights, Volume I 1923-1973, The Walt & Roy Disney Years is available!

In the 202nd episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn and Dave are celebrating National Bucket List Day! This leads to a discussion about the things, mostly travel related, that are on both their bucket lists... places they'd like to visit, cruises they'd like to take, ground they'd like to set their feet upon, and theme parks to fly to. First though, Jenn is getting ready for a huge travel summer, while Dave is putting a Cap on his wall. Then, a little news -- Epcot's Food & Wine Festival dates have been released, and we speculate on why the festival time period is shorter... and if it has to do anything with the upcoming CommuniCore opening.. and of course, speculation of what we might see in there. Then, Disney filed permits for work on the Imagination Pavilion, so we also make some wildly off base yet fully educated guesses as to what Disney might be doing next in this area. And, is Figment so popular that he still needs his own attraction? Hollywood Studios has a 35th anniversary coming up... Smellephant is brand new in Magic Kingdom... new experiences require pre-payment (and why Mace Windu's lightsaber is purple)... and Jenn's joy that her favorite restaurant just got one huge award. Then onto the Bucket List chat, which really just devolves into a travel discussion about places we want to go, but it's always entertaining.

Last week as part of the press event for Tron, details-sparsely given-were provided on Epcot Celebration and construction at the heart of Epcot that never seems to end. Given an important image made public a few years ago, we seek to explain why this section of Epcot is going to become what it is. It also will help us to understand why the uniquely designed Festival Pavilion never got built and why we ended up with Harmonious--a show that is speculated to be worth over $100 million dollars and what appears to be completely uprooted and tossed out. Or is it? We'll go over those vague press details in an effort to understand not just what is going to happen, but what is not going to happen and why.

The press event for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind was held this week. As part of that event, announcements were made about World Celebration & Discovery. Want to know what all that construction was about in the center of former Future World at Epcot? Well, despite ambiguous imagery, it appears we've been given a clearer view of what is coming to the heart of this Walt Disney World Resort. park We'll take a look at the details. As such, we'll look at what is the new festival center coming, Communicore, as well as a much more expanded Moana gardens than previously showcased. At least, that's what the drawings show. So let's see what is coming to a big chunk of Epcot and what it will look like. We'll share all the details we've uncovered, and we'll overview what we don't know.

Ready to go back in time? That's right, we've embarked on the first set of defunct Epcot attractions: CommuniCore, Innoventions, The Living Seas, World of Motion.We can thank CommuniCore and Innoventions for some wild interactive exhibits like Get Set Jet, a game where guests helped people board a plane and Where's The Fire?, Presented by Liberty Mutual Insurance. The Living Seas gave us a foundation to absolutely cover with Nemo & Friends IP, but do you remember the Hydrolater that brought you to and from Seabase Alpha? And how about The World of Motion's mix of sculptures, massive screens, and animatronics that brought you through a brief history of transportation? (It might even be the inspiration for our own name!) We've just scratched the surface of defunct Epcot attractions, so stay tuned for more!Do you have a favorite long-gone attraction in Epcot?

Be sure to check out some of our previous shows from over the years. We have visited multiple parks, resorts, and just about everything else in between. We hope you stick with us through 2021 as we bring you some great content that will take you back to WDW each month. Enjoy! Listener Mail Right to the mailbag this month! The bag is full and we love that! Every month, you can possibly get on the show, so be sure to write to us at podcast@retrowdw.com. Also, top-tier donors can even join us on a show! Take a look at how you can join us live on an episode. Joie is up first this month – sharing a photo collection of every page from ‘The Magic of Disneyland & Walt Disney World' from 1979. Click Here to see all this hard work – thank you!! Joie also shared packaging from Todd's infamous “Squeaky Mickey”. This is HUGE! From 1978, this mickey toots his own horn, blows bubbles, and party favors. Take a look at this! Big thanks to Joie for the fun mail items this month. We spoke about Squeaky Mickey on Episode 7 and Episode 8. Our next message is from Michael Landis. He decided to reach out and ask about SMTV: Space Mountain TV. Here is a video for reference. We get into what the point of this was, including Crazy Larry! This is a great flashback to the 90s and New Tomorrowland. One item from that refurb that is possibly lost in your memories. Michael notes that it was very similar to a cross between MTV and Nickelodeon of the time. The preshow videos were tied to the Fedex Sponsorship with took effect in 1993, more research on who created the video loop is needed. The video loop continued to run, minus the Fedex ads after 2003 when the Fedex sponsorship ended, until around 2009 when the queue was remodeled. Lindsay writes in to share about another Tom Cruise experience. She was working in the College Program in 2012 and was assigned to Cinderella's Royal Table, on the date she was supposed to be taking a cast tour of the Dream Suite, Tom Cruise and his daughter ended up booking the room and her tour was canceled. She goes on to say that Tom ordered some food from the kitchen and other staff members from the restaurant took it up to the suite. People magazine covered the stay Cody then asks about the Epcot confusion of the East/West sections of Future World. Since Epcot was built on a north/south orientation with the entrance at the northern end of the park, it was decided to use the compass points for east and west for the two sides of CommuniCore and the Pavilions. Cody then asked about expansion of the monorail system asking if it was mostly the cost, the cost of creating new monorail lines was the main issue along with the flexibility of busses being another important factor. Cody's last question was about when the ability to ride in the front of the monorails went away, which was stopped after the fatal monorail crash the evening of July 5th 2009 near the Magic Kingdom. Our last letter comes from Tobias a new listener to the podcast who might have had another celebrity encounter. He tells the story of a park closing in 1983 being brought into the Magic Shop at the Magic Kingdom where he was asked to see and assist several magic tricks being presented by someone who was dressed like Michael Jackson but called himself Michael Jason. If anyone knows of any of the magicians who might match this memory please let us know. Main Topic Welcome back to Pleasure Island! This is part three of our trilogy, which could possibly have a part four in the near future. We have been all over for our first two episodes, Part I & Part II. For this episode though, we are going to dig into two of the more famous Pleasure Island venues, The Comedy Warehouse & The Adventurer's Club. The Comedy Warehouse We begin with The Comedy Warehouse, which is actually the current location of STK. How leads us once again, starting off with typefaces, logos, and Brian also gets things going with a short history of comedy in the 70s & 80s. This is a super interesting look at the warehouse which discusses the concept art and also the club atmosphere, which is pretty much lost to history. One super interesting part of How's take on this club is the use of props and Disney items. I absolutely love how they tied all of this into the Comedy Warehouse. Finally, How drops the bomb on us that the show was totally scripted and wasn't standard, open mic comedy. The show actually made fun of Walt Disney World. We have a video on our YouTube Channel, and you can check that out right here. The outside of the building was themed to a warehouse with corrugated metal siding and sporting various editions of the signage until one with chattering teeth and mixed letting on the Warehouse section were used from that point on. Brian leads a brief discussion of the expansion of comedy clubs in the late 70's into the 80's. Before this period comedians were relegated to opening acts, but suddenly various clubs were being opened in major cities nationwide. The expansion of cable channels started to push major comedy specials which lead to more comedy clubs opening. The entrance to the club was near the West End Stage with the queue running outside the club. A temporary popup bar originally served those waiting, later a bar named Laughers was built to handle drinks for people waiting in the queue outside which was outside. Inside the theater there were three sections, floor, mid and balcony areas which could hold up to 290 guests, each seating row had stools to sit on and a pathway behind where the waiters could come and provide food and drinks. The concept art showed a couple of different possible stage setups, the warehouse ended up having a large number of rare and unique Disney props all over the walls. Although most comedy clubs of the time would just have several stand-up comedians perform each night with a couple of clubs devoted to Improv, the Comedy Warehouse opened with a stage show called Forbidden Disney which was set up to make fun of all aspects of a Disney Vacation. The show was written and directed by Tom Sherohman who also worked on some of the Adventures Club and Wonders of Life skits. The show was over 60 minutes in length and presented as a show inside a show, the performers were stuck in line elsewhere, but the staff needed to start the show. The show featured three main vacationers, a Father who wanted to do everything, a Mother who wanted to take it easier and a Daughter who didn't want to be there at all. The first version of the show lasted about a year, between management's hesitation at running the show and the lack of interest from repeat Pleasure Island visitors. Various segments of the show were still included after the change to an improv show. Chris Oyen, who moved to the Orlando area in 1990, was responsible for the direction for the new Improv style shows The Improv format continued to draw crowds until the closing of the Pleasure Island clubs in 2008. In later years the warehouse would just sometimes have show normal stand up shows instead of improv. One of the regular most memorable improv show techniques was to use a phone that would ring one of the phones at the end of the rows of the audience and build a song based on the feedback from the call. Most of the other skits would take the random suggestions from the audience to build their comedy routines The comedy warehouse cast has reunited a number of times since the club closed, including some holiday shows at the Hollywood studios. After a brief discussion of which hosts had visited the club during it's years of operation before we head across the west end to the Adventures Club. The Adventurers Club An all-time fan favorite that led to Mr. Toad level protest and outrage when it closed. It was patterned off the NYC Explorer's Club from the early 1900s. This dinner theater/dinner show/theme bar/everything else you want to refer it to was something different when compared to all the other clubs. Improvised characters, animatronics, multiple rooms, and multiple floors all went together to make this a super fun experience. As a group, we all get into our own personal experiences with The Adventurer's Club. Each of us went in different eras and also have different opinions on the club. Todd has an especially fun story that connected his family to the club and it sounds like it was a great time. We have a few different videos on our YouTube channel, which you can check out here and here. While the Adventurer's Club has left us, the memories are everlasting for many, many fans. As stated earlier in the Podcast, there seems to be the need for a fourth part of the Pleasure Island saga. This could very well end up as a box set on your bookshelf in the future! As always, when How gets into things the details are immense and the stories are plentiful. Thank you for listening and we hope you enjoyed this almost finished journey through Pleasure Island. The entrance to the Adventures Club started as a very plain building before remodeling in the early 90s. The club was modeled after New York's Explorers Club which was founded in the early 1900's as well as other adventure style clubs of that era. The backstory for the club was that it was New Years Eve 1937 and the club was holding an Open House for all of those interested. Guests would enter on the second floor and pick up a schedule for the events of the evening. The events would be split between the mask room, treasure room, the salon and the Library which was the largest room in the club. The Mezzanine level had numerous artifacts and black and white photos as well as some seating areas, there was a small bar on this level with an elevator and staircase that lead down to the main floor. The Main Salon was the central area of the club with the primary bar located here. The bar had a number of themed alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks as well as some special bar stools that could be slowly lowered by the bartenders. On one of the walls of the Main Salon was the Yakoose an animatronic mounted head that would come to life during the night and talk with the guests or Babylonia who was a large stone face puppet on the opposite wall. The final character in the main salon was Colonel Critchlow Sunchbench who would interact with the other Adventure's Club cast as well as lead the new inductees in the club song. There were two small rooms off of the Main Salon, the Mask Room and the Treasure Room. Inside the Mask Room, two large masks at the front of the room, Arnie and Claude talked, while other masks in the room moved their eyes, moved and laughed. In the Treasure Room who would find the genie Beezle who's head would appear and float around in one of the cabinets. The largest room on the first floor was the Library a two-level space where the grand piano has crashed down from the second floor killing the pianist who haunts the piano as Fingers Zambezi. The shows in the Library were usually held around every 40 minutes or so and included shows such as: Welcome Party Radio Broadcast The Balderdash Cup Competition The RadioThon The Hoopla – which was the final show of the evening There was a regular cast of characters at the Club, the actors could and would change characters throughout the night, the usual characters included: Pamelia Perkins – Club President. Otis T. Wren – Club Treasurer and ichthyologist Hathaway Browne – Aviator, and the club's resident innuendo-making ladies' man. Fletcher Hodges – Absent-minded Club Curator, he is said to have “mounted every object in the club.” Graves – Club Butler. The Maid Marcel – A man in an ape suit The Adventures Club offered Club Memberships for a reasonable fee per year bringing in more and more locals who would return weekly or more often to partake in the club's activities. One of the downsides of the Club was some of the confusion, which may have been planned, that new people would feel walking into the Club, seeing the schedule and having no idea what any of it meant. When the main show was going on in the Library the club was rather dead, a explanation video or something else to help first-timers might have been helpful. A discussion was held about the locals who held a great fandom of the adventures club in comparison to other group event fandoms such as the Rocky Horror Picture show. The Jekyll And Hyde Club in New York City has a similar intent to the concept of the Adventures Club with different rooms and different events happening during the dining experience. The closest experience still left at Walt Disney World would be the Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen which has different themed rooms with various artifacts and jokes found throughout the building. The Adventures Club, along with the rest of Pleasure Island, closed on Sept 27th 2008, the cast reunited for one last performance and “membership renewal” during the 2014 D23 Destination D event at the Contemporary Resort

Disney designed the Ford pavilion at the ’64 World’s Fair Needed to propel a stream of vehicles along a track It was achieved by vertically mounted rubber wheels spun by electric motors which pushed against a flat plate on the underside of the vehicles That system was refined and used for Disneyland’s PeopleMover Debuted in Disneyland’s Tomorrowland on July 2, 1967 PeopleMover was always planned and planned to go through Space Port, and the station would be inside Space Port The track was originally planned to be much longer and go over the Grand Prix Raceway The upper concourse path was built but left empty during the building of the Magic Kingdom for the 1971 opening When Space Port became Space Mountain, it moved to outside the berm, so the track layout was scaled back and changed to the track today, and the station moved from Space Mountain to it’s own station in the middle of Tomorrowland and the StarJets would be placed on top, similar to Disneyland Space Mountain holds the garaging track and a maintenance spur The Orlando version would use something different Non moving, solid state linear induction motors, which have an unlimited life expectancy There are 630 Linear Induction Motors on the track, 10 feet apart, ensuring that 4 motors are always under each 5 car train Each motor has a proximity sensor to tell the motor when to power on and a speed sensor to indicate how much power the motor produces When a train approaches the motor turns on and pulls the steel plate under the car towards it To stop the cars, the magnetic field is reversed in the motor to push against the steel plate, and why a stopping car can go backwards Up to 30 5-car trains can carry 3,600 guests per hour along 4,600 feet of track Each car has minimal moving parts, so they are high reliability. There are four main wheels and 8 smaller guide wheels per car. Since all drive and braking propulsion is supplied by the linear motor, there is no traction requirement between the wheels and the track. Consequently, heat, dust, wind, and moisture have no effect on the system’s operation. The system can have up to 50% LIM failure at random positions and still function Speeds are between 1.8 to 6.8 mph Progress City model With the move of the Carousel of Progress to WDW, the model of Progress City would be moved to the PeopleMover track that was designed to hold a diorama It would be cut down to fit the size of the diorama opening Construction began in early 1973 The Grand Prix Raceway track was closed and modified to accommodate Space Mountain. During the closure, the PeopleMover track was built over the raceway It cost $10 million to build The Star Jets opened 11/28/74 The PeopleMover opened 7/1/75 and dedicated in April 1976 It opened as the WEDWay PeopleMover and was an “E” Ticket attraction, but was changed to a “D” Ticket in Fall 1976 It was originally sponsored by the Edison Electrical Institute The original ride was narrated by Jack Wagner and ran from 1975 - 1985 and the Edison Electrical Institute sponsorship also ended He is famous for the various announcements over the park PA, for parades, special events, etc. He also did voice work for the Walt Disney World Resort, and for the attractions themselves, including instructions, emergency precautions, and safety spiels. Because of the prevalence of his voice over the park, his nickname was "The Voice of Disneyland". "Please stand clear of the doors. Por favor manténgase alejado de las puertas." Jack Wagner co-arranged the updated soundtrack for the Main Street Electrical Parade, used in various iterations of the parade from 1977 to 2009. Wagner was inducted as a Disney Legend posthumously in 2005. The narration was changed in 1985 and ran until 1994 It was narrated by ORAC-1, the commuter computer The narration was changed with the retheming of Tomorrowland in June 1994. It was narrated by Peter Renaday. The name was changed to the Tomorrowland Transit Authority, and it was the MetroLiner Blue Line The narration was changed once again in October 2, 2009 to the current spiel by Mike Brassell, which harkens back to the ORAC-1 spiel and tone The lighting system was also changed to color changing LEDs August 5, 2010, the name changed to the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover In 2013, the Progress City model was refurbished, the first time since 1975 In February 1974, WED created the Community Transport Services division to promote the WedWay in real world situations The first proposal was in 1976 for the then new WDW Village A new enclosed car design would be able to travel inclines It would offer on demand cars to a specified destination The route would service the shopping village, the hotel plaza, and a proposed office park A monorail from the Epcot area would meet an aerial station straddling Buena Vista Drive The monorail would run down the central median with the WedWay crossing at a lower level The multi level station would have escalator, elevator and stair access From the station, the WedWay would form a continuous loop line around the WDW Village Another change was this system had spur station tracks so moving cars could pass other cars parked at stops The SunTrust Bank was the only part of the office plaza built and the project quietly died. The original plans of Epcot had WedWay in 1975 and 1976 Communicore was built to take an elevated Wedway track; that’s why it’s two stories tall In July 1979, the Houston Airport agreed to purchase a WedWay system to link the terminals and hotel It opened in September, 1981 The Community Transport Services division was sold to Bombardier Bombardier installed a WedWay system that links the US Capitol to the Dirksen and Hart buildings in 1993

Jim Sarno was a Walt Disney Imagineer working on the opening team for Epcot. He worked in the model shop with Harriet Burns, Joe Rohde, and many more classic Imagineers. Working on many of the pavilions we know and love at Epcot - including The Land Pavilion, Imagination Pavilion, Communicore, and Spaceship Earth - Jim was responsible for creating SMRT-1, the fountain that once lived in the center of the Land Pavilion, and much more. In this episode, I interview Jim as we discuss how he came to work at Walt Disney Imagineering, the projects he worked on, and advice he has for those looking to work for Walt Disney Imagineering in the future.

How explains the details. In our episode #39 – Preview Center and Hotel Plaza Boulevard - We forgot to mention that the Reedy Creek Improvement was housed in the preview center before they got their own building.

Main Entrance FastCast: Theme Parks, Museums, and so much more!
For today’s CreatiCore, we’re going to be talking about the segment’s namesake, Communicore. Designed as a two-in-one pavilion at the heart of Epcot Center’s Future World, Communicore was the community core of the park. While Communicore’s twin structures provided more context and detail about the themes of the Epcot Center pavilions, at its heart, Communicore introduced the public to the new and emerging realm of computers. In fact, Guests could see a presentation that showed them the nerve center of the entire park. Originally called the Astuter Computer Revue, it was quickly replaced with Backstage Magic, featuring hosts Julie and I/O. Another Epcot icon, SMRT-1, also called Communicore East its home. Communicore, from a design standpoint, served many important roles within the park. Today, at least for the near future, but soon to change, the center of the pavilions that used to be Communicore is covered in massive spans of pavement surrounding a large fountain. But initially, this wasn’t the case. There were in fact, a few other water features that resulted in the plaza being significantly tighter. This may seem like an odd design choice, but it was very intentional. Beyond serving as an exhibit and attraction hall, Communicore also acted as an Epcot Center Main Street. The space was actually designed in such a way that there were transitways through the building, with exhibits and sights being on different elevations altogether. To get a sense of what this was like, check out Club Cool before it closes. Communicore was also host to the Stargate and Sunrise Terrace Restaurants. The Centorium, Epcot Center’s main retail location, and Walt Disney World’s largest store at the time, was also housed in Communicore East. The buildings were constructed with expansive window walls. While providing an inviting look into the two buildings, these walls served a more practical purpose as well, as Communicore was designed to be easily expandable. This design trait was the progeny of the original plans for World Showcase, back when it was planned to live closer to the Transportation and Ticket Center. From one side, in this case, the fountain side, Communicore would look sleek and uniform, however, the outer walls could be easily removed, and the building could be expanded to accommodate new attractions. This actually occurred in 1993 and 1994, as Communicore was retired and converted into its successor, Innoventions. Did you know, Communicore was built extra tall to be able to accomodate a future Wedway Peoplemover? True story! With Innoventions, however, came the end of much of what made Communicore so unique. The bright, inviting window walls were blackened, the entire space was flattened to one pedestrian level, and the fountain plaza area was paved. While as a successor, Innoventions was initially successful, with bright flashy sponsors like Sega, AT&T, and IBM, little by little the offerings of the two buildings eroded, leaving behind big awkward empty spaces. The flow of traffic gone, Innoventions was never truly a successor Main Street, instead acting as another warehouse of quickly outdated products. The retail location, now called MouseGear, expanded outside it’s original space to encompass the entire south end of Innoventions East. Coca-Cola would take over exhibit space at the south end of Innoventions West. Finally, with the expansion of Epcot Character Spot into the West building, the days of Innoventions and Communicore were solidly over. In the coming months and years, Communicore West will be demolished, and the East building will become home to a store and restaurant, but ironically, the traffic patterns that were once embraced by the Communicore model seem to be partially returning, bringing back the importance of what was the Communicore courtyard area and reintroducing the Main Street of Epcot.
Have you ever wanted to Turn Back Time...to find a way...i'll take back..wait this isn't a Cher concert, this is the Mouse and More Podcast! Today's episode is all about turning back the clock, and thinking about the time we would have wanted to visit the parks. We're talking late '80's and early 90's Walt Disney World, where a young Tony was hitting it up at the Adventurers Club, Liza's checking out Communicore, Christina's going on Big Thunder 10 times in a row, and Adam's checking out the brand new Grand Flo (even though he wasn't born yet). We even go over what we would bring back that we miss from the parks. And this episode is dedicated to the Campi Family Dog, Bailey.
