So instead of drawing a concept for the exterior, I've been playing with this for awhile adding/subtracting bits and pieces more times than I'd like to count . I think I've got the structure close to matching the age/color style of the foreground. What do you think?

I love the fact that it looks like a Future World pavilion while still looking aerodynamic like a paper airplane!

Cool deal!

You wouldn't happen to have a good 2003-05 future world/epcot map link would you ? Opening day epcot is easy enough, but finding a good quality image from around then has been a little tougher for me.

The Mouse - Walt Disney's Personal Plane

flr495642LARGE.jpg


As one of the many attractions in the pavilion The Mouse - Walt Disney's Personal Plane is sure to be a delight amongst many a Disney history buff! The plane sits on an elevated fenced in platform within the pavilion for all guests to view the iconic aircraft. A plaque is stalled on the fencing that reads:

"This Grumman G-159 Gulfstream 1, otherwise known as The Mouse, served as Walt Disney's personal aircraft when scouting out the land for his second theme park. The story goes that as The Mouse flew over Central Florida, Walt Disney became entranced by the beauty and decided this was the place for his vision of E.P.C.O.T. Today this plane is displayed here at The Skies Above Pavilion to remind us the legacy of Walt's dream that has led us all here today to EPCOT!"


2013 - 2017: The Mouse - Walt Disney's Personal Plane Cosmetic Update

Thanks to the marketing genius of Bob Iger, The Mouse got the much needed update that everyone wanted. On February 28th, 2013 coinciding with the initial teaser trailer of Disney's Planes The Mouse garnered a set of eyeballs and a smile bringing it into the Planes universe! The plaque dedicating the The Mouse was replaced by a canvas like advertisement reading:
"Planes: Releasing August 9th in cinemas everywhere"

Signage later changed again in September to read:
"Planes: On home media everywhere, November 19th."

Signage once again changed on December 23rd to read:
"Planes: Fire & Rescue releasing July 18th."

Signage went unchanged until late August 2014 to read:
"Planes: Fire & Rescue on home media everywhere, November 4th"

Signage for The Mouse remained unchanged until a slight update advertised the following:
"Plans and Planes: Fire & Rescue available on home media now!"

Fans of Walt Disney's history and of Epcot were outraged by this smear on history. Many fans on online forums would wish for the stupid Planes elements to be removed to allow for the Mouse to return to its former glory. A rumor quickly began to spread that when signage was installed to promote Planes the original plaque for the plane was accidentally thrown away by some random intern. This theory quickly became accepted in fan circles due to the fact that the Planes advertisement remained in place until 2017, a whole four years after installation. Ahead of Epcot's 35th Anniversary on October 2nd, 2017, the Walt Disney Company announced that The Mouse - Walt Disney's Personal Plane would be returning to its original state. Fans everywhere celebrated with the death of the Planes advertisement and the return of the original plaque!

Okay, here are my ideas for the characters in Forecast Follies...

- A human host, a meteorologist, who serves as the "straight man" to the other characters. I'm picturing a young-ish guy wearing a labcoat and glasses. Brown hair. For the 1990s update, he could be replaced by a new character.
- Mr. Sun represents sunny days. A big, cheery, yellow sun a la the Raisin Bran mascot.
- Cloudy days are represented by Mr. Cloud, a big, puffy grey cloud.
- Mr. Twister represents tornadoes. An out-of-control, crazy fella a la the Tasmanian Devil.
- Maybe snow could be represented by a snowflake, or a snowman?
- Fog could be represented as "Mr. Fog" (or Mrs. Fog), who doesn't get a physical form per say - the theater simply fills up with fog as we hear their voice.
