AWESOME EPCOT (Center) commercial from 1988!

[KentB3]

I found this amazing commercial for EPCOT (then called EPCOT Center) from 1988 (which I also remember seeing when it originally aired), so I thought I'd share it with the group:

I remember reading that the "friend" of Mickey peed themself when stood a top SSE

 

[brent2124]

I would love to be the "friend" of Mickey standing up there. Great commercial!

 

[Future Guy]

Didn't they use that shot of Mickey in the intro to the Disney Sunday Movie as well? And check out that aerial view of the park! I paused the video for a minute or so just to admire it.

Wow, I remember that too when I was a kid. I always wondered about how they got Mickey up there (as a kid) ahhhh childhood memory's

Heh I like the mickey on top of SSE.

Yeah, so do I...looks like Mickey belongs there - unlike the wand...:lookaroun

 

[PalisadesPkteer]

Ding Dong the Wand is Dead! Which old Wand? The big, ugly mean old Wand!

Repeat chorus.. LoL

Remember this commercial. Wish I had gotten to EPCOT before May 2000 and gotten a chance to enjoy some of the attractions that are long gone now.

I would have fallen off the top of SSE and died if I were that mickey! I hate heights.

MAN, I love retro WDW stuff. Anybody get to see The Disneyland Story with Harry Anderson, or Walt Disney World: Past, Present, and Future with John Lithgow? These were Disney Channel exclusives and worth their weight in gold to a Disney Nut like me.

Here's the link to the Disneyland Story with Harry Anderson
