EPCOT Center – Narrated by Harold and Yvonne Jenkins – Home Movie

If you joined us for RetroWDW’s Home Movie Night #4, you’ll recognize this film as the star of the show.

Wow, that must be great for you and your family!!! I’m so happy to hear you got to listen to familiar comforting voices from the past from cherished loved ones.
