Favorite nostalgic memory of "EPCOT Center"...

[laynalee07]

What is everyone's favorite memory of the original EPCOT?

Mine would have to be how I used to gaze at the World of Motion building and just be in awe of the vehicles actually "driving" into the building! (I was around 4 or 5 at the time )
My dad used to put me on his shoulders to give me a "better view" while we were walking up to the ride. I just thought that was the coolest thing!

EPCOT holds a lot of fond memories for me as a child. What about you all?

Rainbow corridor with my brother. We'd go through time and time again- sometimes chasing each other- sometimes just strolling- and sometimes stopping so my mom and dad would have to come in after us.

So Many from the Original EPCOT, I wish it was back to the glory days when Future World was Future World.
I guess my favorite memory that I can not relive would be the original Journey Into You Imagination.

I also LOVED the rainbow corridor!... I just loved everything about the whole play area in the original Figment.... do you remember the pin boards (not sure of the exact name of those things) where you could stick your hand, arm, even face underneath and you could see the imprint? I spent hours at those things. haha

New memories are great too!
One day your "new" memories will be your "old" fond memories.... so that works too

So many...but the first two that popped into my head was the opening scene of Imagination with Dreamfinder and the begining portion of World of Motion of travel from inside to outside and back inside the building. Oh and the original fountain with the clear standing parts, so much better than the current entrance area.

I remember riding the original "Imagination" as the last ride of the evening and strolling out of the park singing "One Little Spark" to myself...

 

[laynalee07]

I also remember the trolley that used to ride around the World Showcase full of Disney characters!... they would stop at the entrance to the World Showcase (the opening space that is now in between the two stores) and would all get out and sign autographs for people... i have video of this and the crowds for autographs were NOWHERE near as crowded as it has become now... you could actually just walk up to them and not have to wait in these horrendous lines.... ahhh, the good ole days

For me anyway, what WASN'T a favorite nostalgic memory of "EPCOT Center" would be a MUCH shorter list...!
