We're always looking for that "One Little Spark," that one moment of inspiration that sets us on a path to discover something new, or to create that magical piece of art. But where do we find them? How do we tap into them? Thankfully, I know a pair who specialize in this sort of thing… So sit back, relax, and join us (and Dreamfinder and Figment!) as we take a tour around Walt Disney World, inspired by Journey Into Imagination.

WDW Radio # 712 - Interview with Former Imagineer Steve Kirk - From the WDW Radio Archives After visiting EPCOT this past week, and in thinking about the future of that park, specifically the Imagination pavilion, I went way back into the WDW Radio Archives to being you one of my earliest interviews. Let's go back to 2007 and Show # 30, when, as part of my Legends of Disney Imagineering feature, I shared my conversation with former Imagineer Steve Kirk. Steve helped come up with the initial concepts for Figment and the Dreamfinder, as well as the Journey Into Imagination attraction, and also helped develop some of Disney's most memorable characters, attractions, pavilions, and even complete theme parks, including being the creative leader of Tokyo DisneySea. We also talk about Epcot, the Studios and so much more. I would later come to interview his brother, Tim Kirk about his work at Imagineering, specifically at the Disney-MGM Studios, but that is another trip to the archives for another day. For now, sit back, relax, and enjoy my conversation (and forgive my voice), with the fascinating and talented Steve Kirk.   ---------------------------------- WDWRadio.com - Visit the site and blog WDWRadio.com/Clubhouse - Join the community and conversation on Facebook WDWRadioNATION - Get monthly rewards, and help support the show WDWRadioLIVE.com - Watch and chat LIVE Wednesdays at 7:30pm ET WDWRadio.com/Podcasts - Show notes, past episodes, links, and photos WDWRadio.com/Events - WDW Radio Disney meets, events, cruises, and more!

Journey Into Imagination opened at EPCOT in 1983 and has been a part of Walt Disney World ever since. As part of the Imagination Pavilion conceived by Walt Disney Imagineer Tony Baxter, Journey Into Imagination took guests aboard a whimsical flight into the imagination, with Dreamfinder and Figment reminding guests that "One Little Spark" (a song written by Richard and Robert Sherman) can lead to an unlimited number of ideas. In this podcast episode, we discuss the history of Journey Into Imagination, including its replacements, Journey Into Your Imagination and (currently) Journey Into Imagination with Figment, along with some speculation as to what might be in store for this attraction's future. This episode includes fun facts and some audio recordings of the attraction. What do you love most about Journey Into Imagination with Figment?

Take a look at how you can join us live on an episode. Our first letter is from Andy all about the Mannequins - he goes through this photo, explaining what each piece of hardware does. This is super helpful and also neat to look back; the system also included the classic 3.5" Floppy Disk! Going back to September, Jason sent us a tweet about his trip to WDW. So many good shots of the topics we have discussed over the years. Thanks, Jason! John touched base with us about the Mardi Gras parade items and props sitting in Port Orleans: French Quarter. Brian gives us the full story on this one and the connection is amazing. We also heard from Jacques, giving even more insight into this whole thing. Mr. Mardi Gras comes up and we love this back story. Thanks, everyone! We heard from Colleen on Instagram and she shared with us a super neat cup from Pleasure Island. These aren't very common to see anymore but we absolutely loved that you shared this with us! Dane wrote us about 'The Guide to Tomorrowland' - This was from way back in Episode 26: Tiny Bubbles.

Main Topic This month, we take you back to EPCOT Center and as far back as opening day. Magic Journeys: This is one of those short-lived attractions that most have not seen, but if you did, you get it. This was extremely high tech, advanced and the effort level that went into this is absolutely insane. Todd takes the lead, giving us a bit of history and why this whole thing came about. We hear from Murray Lerner, including original audio and interviews looking back at the creation of this film. Overall though, this film was intended to see the world through the eyes of a child. Of course, we get the technical reasons as to why 3D works and what is actually happening with your eyes. The 'how' of this film is something you really won't believe. Two whole years in the making with computer graphics, 75mm film, multiple frames on top of one another - the making of this film is a treasure trove of facts and figures. We also include clips from our interview with Mark Eades. He played a major role in creating this film, helping with the setup, and also was integral in making sure it worked. We also discuss the film made with the Dreamfinder, Ron Schneider. He goes into how they had to create a preview film all about Magic Journeys, just to have something in the theater for opening day. RetroMagic Fifty We have set our date for the next big Lake Buena Vista Historical Society event: RetroMagic 50. We will all be back at Walt Disney World in 2022 for this weekend-long event which takes place April 23-24. Please click the following link to sign up for ticket sale information and notifications. We hope to see you all real soon! 2021: Year Two of The Film To make sure you are the first to know when items are released, subscribe to us on YouTube.

You may love this attraction, you may hate it.  Either way, this attraction has been mired in controversy for decades. This week, as Danny slowly melts in his recording space, we're taking a look back at this once iconic attraction's staggering demise to one of the most maligned attractions in all of Disney World.  Music by Colin Paul

On the 30th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave talk a little Disney with Haunted Mansion toys and Avenger Funkos... then jump right in with Ron Schneider, the original Dreamfinder from Epcot. They discuss the beginnings of Figment, being the man behind the curtain, Magic Mountain, opening day at Universal Studios, and why it may not be a good thing for the Dreamfinder to return.  Finally, Dave gives his own Parade worthy Magical Moment. 

This week I'm joined by my longtime friend and preferred Disney travel advisor Katie Fisher from Pictures and Postcards Travel and we sit down and ask, do you remember? as we reminisce about our earliest Disney Park Memories. We dive into our first impressions and experiences in the parks, what deeply impacted us, what we miss most and silly moments that still stand out today.  Just a few of the attractions we chat about are Mission to Mars, the Skyway to Fantasyland, the Frontierland Stunt Show, Spectromagic, the Imagination pavilion with Figment and Dreamfinder, Body Wars the Great Movie Ride, Catastrophy Canyon and snorkeling with sharks?! ----more---- REFERENCES Mission to Mars ridethrough video from 1992: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XX9h2YmUvE0 King Stefan's Banquet Hall: https://d23.com/a-to-z/king-stefans-banquet-hall/ Walt Disney World Frontierland Stunt Show video from 1992: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdNW2N8nxIg The Living Seas at Epcot (with the Hydrolators!): https://www.laughingplace.com/w/blogs/disney-extinct-attractions/2017/01/19/disney-extinct-attractions-living-seas/   ----more---- mainandmagic.com We saved you a seat in our private Facebook Group!

WDW Radio # 605 - The Original Dreamfinder, Ron Schneider As we celebrated Walt Disney World's 49th birthday on October 1, I wanted to look back at not just one of the resort's most popular attractions, but characters as well. The Dreamfinder (and good right arm, Figment) were created for the new Journey Into Imagination attraction in Epcot in 1983, and ushered in a sense of wonder and fun the likes of which the park had never seen before. And helping to create that spark of imagination was Ron Schneider, the original Dreamfinder. Ron joined me live in Magic Kingdom for the anniversary, and shares stories that paint a colorful picture tracing the origins of the attraction and character, as well as his years in the parks, to working with Tony Baxter, and the day that Michael Jackson asked to meet Dreamfinder. We also discuss the future of the attraction, characters, and EPCOT, Walt, and so much more.

In light of the current situation around the world, I think we needed to come together as a podcast family for a bit just to check-in on each other. During this show that was recorded live on Saturday night, April 25, 2020 we discussed experiences that are gone, but definitely not forgotten at Walt Disney World!  From night runDisney events to parades of the past, as well as Pal Mickey touring with us and meeting Figment and Dreamfinder, we share some great memories!  So many other great memories are headed your way too!  Happy Mother's Day as well to all of the moms in the community!  We get some great calls during this hour!  If you need a bit of a pick-me-up, this show might do the trick. Thank you sincerely for always being a part of our podcast community. We have something special here and together, we will make it through this stronger than before. Blessings - Mike

This week, we discuss a VERY Unfortunate Figment Drink (tm) as well as the various sitcoms that have visited a Disney Theme Park at some time since the early 90s. Somehow Newhart never made it to Disneyland. Then, we bring some Saved By The Bell attractions to our sitcom theme park SITCOT. First up, Jim relies solely on a single episode of the Malibu Sands series and sends guests on a whirlwind journey through wacky beachfront shenanigans that ends with a beloved voice actor nearly dying. Then, Scottye brings in exactly what Bayside High was missing all these years in the Yakuza. Also, steroids! Please not that Tori Spelling does not appear during this episode. Also, Tori Scott doesn't graduate. How contractually sad.

The total experience. Three little words that have so much meaning, but are so often overlooked. When Guests visit location-based entertainment offerings, they usually know what they are going to get. Maybe rides, probably stores and restaurants, places to sit and places to walk, things to see and do, and always plenty of ways to be relieved of their hard earned cash. But the total experience isn’t just important at that scale, total experience needs to be considered on smaller and more macro levels. A ride can exist in a vacuum. Board the ride, ride the ride, leave the ride. But the truly great attractions, the ones that people remember, are the ones that provide the total experience. What would the Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey be without the expansive Hogwarts Queue or eclectic Filch’s shop at it’s coda? Sure, it’d be fun, but what takes Guests out of Florida, California, or Japan, and into the Scottish Highlands is the full immersion and the use of multiple elements to make a full entertainment composition. Let’s look at another way this was done. At the heart of Epcot Center, nestled sweetly near the threshold of Future World and World Showcase are beautiful and uniquely designed pyramids. These crystals of imagination are the home to a legendary extinct attraction, the original Journey into Imagination. While we’re certainly going to talk about that famous experience in a future talk, today, let’s look at how this pavilion was designed to provide the total experience. Much like a film, this attraction was not just designed to entertain riders, the very architecture itself is enticing and memorable. You’d be hard pressed to find a visitor who didn’t consider snapping a photo of these magnificent glass structures. It’s no wonder the original sponsor of the place was Kodak. Introducing you to the concept and exploration of the imagination was the original ride, a Journey into Imagination featuring your hosts Dreamfinder and his lovable purple dragon, Figment. Throughout your journey, Figment demonstrates all the ways you can use your imagination to create wondrous things. Music, literature, science, our little dragon friend was the perfect ambassador to the possible. But even at the end of the attraction, when Guests were feeling the drive to go out and create, this pavilion offers more. On the second floor lived the Image Works, a magnificent playground where Guests could let that imaginative momentum translate itself into real, tangible expressions of fancy. It would have been so easy to lead Guests through their fantastic voyage and set them loose in the park, but no, this total experience provided the appropriate coda to their trek. Reinforcing it still, Guests could then head over to the Magic Eye Theater, home to Magic Journeys, followed by Captain EO, finally hosting Honey, I Shrunk the Audience. Here, they could expand their inner eye and see images of wonder and whimsy. These three experiences together were not just an attraction or pavilion, they were a symphony, a complete expression of imaginative power and exploration. A visit to the Journey into Imagination Pavilion was an expedition all its own. Even the grounds were an extension of this adventure. Guests could meet Dreamfinder and Figment and play among dancing, jumping fountains. Among all of the opportunities for discovery and exploration the original Epcot Center cultivated, it was always good to know there was a little oasis for introspective exploration and fantastical fun ready to delight and entertain. It’s no mystery why upon the closure of the original attraction and Image Works there is such a nostalgic yearning for these experiences to return. There aren’t many documented cases of Guest fervor bringing back a beloved character, but the triumphant return of Figment stands as a testament to the power of imagination and, of course, the total experience.

Two adult daughters discuss two classic EPCOT rides, Spaceship Earth, and Journey into Imagination, and how they were just better in 1995. Ride with us to the top of the geodesic polyhedron as we explore all the things you can do with your imagination on this spaceship we call Earth, with just one little spark.

This week, it's all about everyone's favorite dragon and his unfavorite attraction, Journey Into Your Imagination With Figment. After a brief history lesson, Jim brings to the table an attraction to both shame and celebrate the rest of Future World as he mocks as many attractions as possible before a grand (and miraculous) reveal. Then, Scottye misremembers the closing of the original attraction in 1998 as "sometime in the 90s" and makes even the Carousel Of Progress seem timely as he introduces the world to MC Fig (and his dope, dope rhymes). Note: There is at least some chance there will be no episode next week due to Scottye being trapped in a maternity ward. It might be next week, it'll probably be before the end of the season. We here at Opposite Attractions apologize in advance for his inability to keep his hands to himself nine or so months ago. Thank you.

In this 53rd episode, the #MODPOD welcomes back friend of the show Upon a Star Jenn to talk all things Epcot!  First up, a quick look at the new Hollywood Studios logo, then a quick Avengers chat, and then onto Epcot -- the good, the bad, and the magical in each part of the park. Lamenting the Dreamfinder, Nemo's bad behavior, missing Lt Dan, and all the food! 

Courtney and Emily go on a journey into imagination with the famous duo, Dreamfinder and Figment, in the Marvel Disney Kingdoms series Figment and Figment 2 by Jim Zubb. Your hosts dive into a new genre (graphic novels and comics) to go on a magical journey based on the original Epcot attraction. A dream can be a dream come true with just one spark to overcome the obstacles of uniformity and doubt that stifle the true power of the imagination.

When Walt Disney World's newest theme park, Epcot Center opened in 1982, there were only two characters present. These characters, the charming and whimsical Dreamfinder and the curious purple dragon, Figment, were both originally portrayed in the park by the same man. This week we talk with that man on Episode 78: A Chat With Epcot's Original Dreamfinder, Ron Schneider. Ron Schneider has worked in theme parks for more than 40 years in many different roles. Disney fans will instantly recognize him as the face and voice of the original Dreamfinder.

The Dreamfinder himself Ron Schneider returns with more stories from his career in themed entertainment. He tells Demetri the role he played in the development of Halloween Horror Nights, how he became a problem for Canada, and what goes on backstage at the Monsters Inc Laugh Floor.

Jim is the author of the Figment miniseries from Marvel's Disney Kingdoms imprint. That story explored the backstory of Figment and Dreamfinder--beloved characters who appeared in the original incarnation of Epcot's Journey Into Imagination attraction.

On this weeks show I'm joined by Joel, Mike, Carl, and new to the show Ryan. A number of differnt things are talked about this week. I share a glitch the happends with Lego Marvel superheros (next weeks show has an update on that as well). Joel and I talk about Mario kart 8 and the Wii U. I also share my thoughts on the new Figment comic book from Marvel.  Mike talks about the wonders of steam sales.
