I think the aspect in which MGM Studios was "better" is hidden in it having unexpected property tie-ins a Disney fan wouldn't expect. Disney should expand this variety, especially old properties. From Gertie to Twilight Zone to Golden Age films, they round out the park so well!

"Well, maybe people will get used to saying that." - Walt Disney 😂 Interestingly enough, the 1953 aerial says “World of Tomorrow” & not Tomorrowland at all. It’s likely Herb Ryman was misremembering the timeline for this story, but these are his words from an interview in 1986.

IMO the only thing interesting about this game was the epic photo of Cinderella Castle they used for the cover, which was actually shot nearly a decade beforehand in 1981 for Walt Disney World's Tencennial celebration.
It was never the most well-known Nintendo game. But a crossover between Disney World and video games was almost more than our Child of the 80’s mind could handle. The game was brutal. “Loosely based” is an understatement. Anyone still have their cartridge?

While the many historical revelations from the Wayback WED event are being discussed on Distory Nite Shift, here's my personal account of what happened after the presentations and perhaps a few revelations of my own. 😉 epcotlegacy.com/waybackwedre…

This episode of Distory Nite Shift truly has it all… touching stories, lost Disney parks, shocking concepts & more. From Disney’s America to rare BTMRR art to digging into Marty Skylar’s vast archives, there was a LOT here to explore! Watch here: tinyurl.com/ (2/2)

This is just the tip of the obscure Disney history iceberg when it comes to the amount of rare concept art, photos, & stories the imagineers shared recently at Wayback WED. If you’ve heard all the “usual” stories before, I guarantee this one has more than a few new gems! (1/2)

They actually had a completely original BGM recorded for Port Discovery but it was lost in the shuffle when Tokyo Disneysea’s first music director was (very) wrongfully “let go”.
Hello?! Am I at Epcot?! This BGM made me do a double take

Are Disney Parks purely escapist? Or is there something much deeper under the surface? Tune in to "Distory Nite Shift" with fellow historian @DisneyCicerone to find out!

From that era of deciding who they were without Walt, a new type of Imagineering was born, one that preserved Walt’s legacy of hope and optimism for the future in a more profound way. Read more of “Becoming Miniature Epcots”: tinyurl.com/5bfa9248 (2/2)

In the season that followed the loss of Walt Disney, the Imagineers at WED had to continue creating without their creative leader. They couldn’t pause progress to grieve, so they funneled it into their work… (1/2)

Valuing unity and choosing to lean toward each other rather than inciting division is such a powerful lesson we can take from Epcot.

So happy to have met some of my biggest heroes this weekend at @WDWNT’s WaybackWED event including becoming fast friends with Tim Delaney, finally getting to fawn over @PeggieFariss and express my enormous gratitude to Don Dorsey for creating Reflections of Earth. 😊
