Here's another one of me being tortured by the characters. I thought this photo was cool though, because it shows the old flagpole where the Epcot logo is now. You can also see the old signage in the background, as well as Communicore before it became salmon pink. I'm guessing the wall around the Fountain is to build the stage? I believe this photo is from 1987.

I remember doing this on our Fall '95 trip - we looked really stupid but had a lot of fun!! And, is it hyst me, or did there seem to be more to do in Innoventions then than there is now??!!??You may remember Dreamfinder's School of Drama in Imagination. Children were directed to act out situations behind a small wall (with hidden cameras), and then the "movie" was shown above with special effects added. This was also from September, 1994.

You folks were lucky meeting the characters in EPCOT. Back then when i went to Disney, i rarely, if ever, saw any characters. I DID meet Spacesuit Donald inside Communicore once....and that was a true one-off!
Keep the pictures coming...there is some fantastic stuff here in this thread.
To SillySpook---- When you were at the Studios in Burbank, did you happen to photograph any of the Figment related stuff they had on display?

Here is a very nicely done video tribute to Classic EPCOT Center. It is made to resemble a old publicity film, and is very nostalgic! The musical selections are GREAT...and will have many a EPCOT Fan humming along no doubt....

They didn't really have much. Just a shelf of little things, I am going to try and go back with a better camera.

I'm sure alot of people have an old park map, but I haven't seen too many pictures yet, so I scanned a few. The oldest map I could find is from 1985.
Notice how it says the Living Seas is "Opening January 1986"

Plus I found some old newspapers called Walt Disney World News, and one is a special edition for the Living Seas. It's dated January 17-30 1986.
