EPCOT - 25 Years of photographic memories thread!

[Figment82]

See you and your family were so happy to see the characters! Compare your smiling faces with my fear-struck expression.

Great photos!

Could I please see this too?

Certainly, try this

I've put up the scans of all the 80's EPCOT guides that I have, all of them PDF. Hope it works, I've never uploaded to SaveFile before. There's 6 files, with the particular one in question named "EPCOT Center 1982 Wheel Guide."

Unfortunately I never went to WDW during the 90's and I haven't quite figured out a good way to scan the big fold-out maps from my trips in the 2000's into PDFs.

Thanks a lot.

Ok, I gotta go back to my parents house and dig out some old pics. They have stuff from 1990 & '93 - my dad saves everything so I know he has it and where to find it! I love a good trip down memory lane!

From February 1986, here's a shot taken from World of Motion:

And...Rainbow Brite Goofy! (With darling family members of mine who, I assure you, are NOT me. )

I posted this before, but this is from March 1983. That is about 6 months after Epcot opened. Horizons , Morocco and The Land were not open yet. The next time I went to Epcot after that, Horizons was already demolished in 2000.I never got to see it after that.

Man I need to dig out the books my parents have from Epcot that Disney gave them for selling Night of Joy tickets for 5 years with their store. They are some nice little picture books.

I've posted this awhile ago. This was taken sometime in the early 80's. I was about six years old. My dad actually took the shot.

Sorry for a downer but...the sad state of WoL

Where the DNA once stood...

Enjoy!

That is a sad story.

It is amazing looking at this picture. Where is Innoventions?? All those trees . The first time I saw Epcot was in 1993 and I will try to dig out the hundred+ pics over the weekend then scan and post.



Great Thread!!

Anyone have any Horizons and World of Motion photos?
This is a great thread, hopefully we can see some pics of attractions past (even Imagination before the current paint job?).

If we can dream it, we can do it!

TheBeatles, Marni and Matpez - You're very welcome, and hope you like them. I added one more PDF of a WDW vacation planning brochure from 1983, with SSE as the main image and "Introducing EPCOT Center" on the cover.

Unfortunately, I have no EPCOT photos from that long ago, but I still wanted to contribute to the retro enjoyment. These few guidebooks are all I have from 20-25 years ago (besides my memories). Everyone enjoy!

And I'll see you all in 17 days!

Sadly, no--it's a screencap of a small animation in the upper right-hand corner of Siemens' SSE website:

Pretty cool to look at the thing in action, though.
