Epcot ’94 Innoventions Commercial

by

Since the closure, demolition and continuing change an EPCOT, this video seems timely. Back when this attraction / show building was a thing, you could plan to see so many various this. The commercial here shows this, including the Sega games, bathroom of the future and Aladdin virtual carpet ride. This stuff was insane for the mid-90s and for today, some of it actually came true. Take a look at the wristwatch phone.. This is a...Read More...

Adventurers Club: Colonel Critchlow Sunchbench – December 24, 1992

by

We promised more Adventurers Club yesterday, so here we go. This one takes place Christmas Eve, 1992 and we begin with a nice exterior shot. Stick with it, as this is a bit long, but it also gives you a chance to take in some details from the facade. Once inside, you get multiple views and angles of Colonel Critchlow Sunchbench. One of the more classic characters from this attraction is seen interacting with guests and...Read More...

Adventurers Club Walk-Around: May 28, 1992

by

The Adventurers Club was a special place for many WDW fans. The combination of a night out, adventure, theater and fun all connected to make a very unique experience. As we have seen over the years, it is probably one of the most missed places from Pleasure Island since the closing. We have seen tributes over the years and throwback drinks, but nothing will take you back like a video. The video we have here is...Read More...

Rare Glimpses of December 1971 Walt Disney World

by

Sometimes one or two images will pique my interest in a set of slides.  This particular dual set of 35mm slides were from different film brands, were individually numbered and included some hand-assembled slides (literally film glued into a slide holder) that were photographs of images from the 1971 book The Story of Walt Disney World.  The slide set and its order indicate it was part of a presentation given by a professor or enthusiast to...Read More...

Early 1980s Magic Kingdom Super8 Film w/Sound

by

This one will take you back to a time period right before the VHS camcorder became the standard. We begin at the Ticket/Transportation Center with some super clean ferry boat shots. The sound isn’t the greatest on this transfer, but having sound with film is a somewhat rare treat. We see some various resorts, the monorail, Cinderella’s Castle, 80s Tomorrowland and quite a few various shots. The footage is fairly clean, giving you some little details...Read More...

Disney Dreams – Earforce One VHS

by

This is a short, 2-minute video all about granting a Disney Dream. This couple had a dream to ride around in the original Earforce One. The occasion is a surprise of course and we get a few snippets of the hot air balloon, but not a ton. One of the best parts is a quick appearance by Roger Rabbit! Roger and everything else in this video will take you right back to the early 90s. Enjoy!...Read More...

Walt Disney World Resorts – 1991 Disney Channel Remastered

by

If you are a fan of the resorts, this Disney Channel capture is for you. We go back to 1991 for a quick look that visits all of the resort areas present at that time. There are so amazing shots and angles that allow you to see different activities and areas that are no longer around. The Polynesian Resort looks amazing with it’s massive indoor waterfall. Travis Tanner gives some commentary throughout, which mostly sounds like...Read More...

1991 Monorail Resort Loop – Front Seat

by

Take a spin around the resort loop back in 1991. As you all know, the front seat is off-limits today, but back in 1991 it was an amazing place to sit. This 8mm video recording has the camera fixed in position, then towards the end we get a great look at all the monorail controls. The video is simple, but the idea behind it is amazing, considering this was taken back in 1991. This was shot...Read More...

Disney-MGM Studios Backlot Tram Tour – October 1, 1991

by

Leading up to our next podcast, which will be release soon, we dug up some footage from the Backlot Tour in 1991. This was filmed on 8mm video and there are some notable things to look for. Normally, you would see Herbie sitting there in these early days, doing wheelies, popping the hood, etc. Well in this video, Herbie is gone and we see a truck which looks to be from Ernest Saves Christmas – anybody...Read More...
