American Adventure

[orlpassholder]

I was told by a CM that The American Adventure is the only land/attraction to have changed its name since Epcot re-opened.

What was the original Name before the now American Adventure

As far as I know, it has always been known as The American Adventure. I'm curious to see what the answer is.

Well, according to my recent visit AA was called AA....and in 1982 it was called AA from a guidemap....and BEFORE that AA in the creation stages was AA....

Are you nitpickey and mean THE American Adventure? :veryconfu

Otherwise...that's a very good question...let's just try to find out WHEN it was called the other name.

Well, I got a Magic Kingdom Club preview book of Epcot Center that was sent to my parents in 1981 and in the book American Adventure is listed as it is today. So, unless it was changed from AA to something else and then back, it has always been American Adventure (or THE American Adventure).

I'll ask an American Adventure question...

Give me the EXACT NAMES of every animatronic or person in the Golden Dream sequence! :lol: It is possible, if you take a look at the poster next to the entrance...just kidding, I wouldn't make anyone do that!

Anyway, what did the CM tell you? :veryconfu

 

[orlpassholder]

that would be Mr Ben Franklin and Mr Mark Twain ( Samuel Langhorne Clemens )

 

[General Grizz]

It may have been called that in planning stages...but never in reality! (Tacky, too!)

 

[orlpassholder]

grizz no I answered your trivia question

 

[General Grizz]

Oh, then you're missing about 100 people! :lol:

So basically it was to be a United States Pavilion.... at least thats what I gather from the above post.

Yeah... so it looks like that cast member wasn't crazy after all.
