Only in Florida for less than a week but had to stop off to say my goodbyes to Future World . An incredible amount of work and changes in on the horizon (see what I did there)
Great video Adam! I was there from UK over a week ago. Dunno when you filmed this, but I would've loved to have met you! ☺😊 Nice vintage EPCOT send off video 😉 O.O.K 💙👌
You here now? Kids are huge fans, looking to catch a ride with the woo for the blog!
Happy to hear Club Cool is being relocated.
Any filming locations on the horizon Adam?
Pretty cool you got to come say goodbye Adam... It really has needed to be "Updated" for many years now, kinda glad it's finally happening! Hope you are enjoying the new digs in Orange County, I understand why you like the weather over there BUT everything else could go! #TeamFlorida LOL
Epcot was my favorite park as a kid in the 80's. Its vision of the future was amazing. It now definitely looks dated and they removed some of the great rides like Horizons. I guess now that we're in the future they need to come up with something different now! It would be cool for them to do another future world that thinks ahead to the next 30-50 years.

Thanks for the heads up
Yes!
that's what I thought too!
I thought it was Scrooge McDuck?
Looks like the present has passed the future at Disney world.
Disney is not building to last anymore. They are only concerned with the cheapest quickest mediocrity.
@@lastswordfighter slight agree but there are a lot of new stuff being built and great ones.
Disney was great as it was, now it's OK as it is.
@@lastswordfighter agree so much, Disney is only cares about short term fixes than long term enjoyment. Epcot has needed updates but not to the IP filled bs they are doing even to the nighttime entertainment. Disney will be hurting as a company in due to time and we can look back and know this is where the declined happened.
@@lastswordfighter Disney sea would like to disagree
Aw man.. Future World has always been my favorite part of the park. It really makes me upset that they're going to mess with it. The campiness of Epcot is everything.
Epcot was messed with long ago.
ive never been so hearing these news is disappointing
Yeah well now it's basically like dancing on it's grave (quite exaggerated but in a lot of ways true because there ripping apart the Epcot we all know and love)
*They're
I know things are never supposed to change right Get over it
The internet and social media have really ruined the childhood experience. Instant information, instant music, instant movies and toys ordered on the internet have really messed alot of things up. Make sure you document everything you can on old epcot that way the old nostalgia of the bygone epcot will be immortalized.
Adam's rocking the Brian Wilson haircut.
There will always be a special place in my heart for wondering around the electric umbrella area at dusk. Just simply magical colors and atmosphere. Will be sorely missed!
Agreed
Epcot, particularly Future World, had been my favorite place for a long time. It's really hard to say goodbye to it; a lot of memories there, especially with my late dad. I at least got to see it (and Illuminations) one last time back in January (sadly before I knew the full extent of Project Gamma, so no proper goodbyes). Like Presidential Tourist, I also miss the "edutainment" aspect Epcot use to have.
Thank you for the last look, Adam. I like these videos, as bittersweet as they are. Your remembering/goodbye to MGM Studios videos are actually how I discovered your channel, and led to my subscription.
I loved early years mgm studios so much . Great memories there
PROGRESS! Florida had to greet you with rain! Can’t say I’ll miss electric umbrella, but glad you brought an umbrella! I will miss colortopia, it’s cute! ☔️ See ya sooooooon!!
I thought I might see you in Adam's peanut gallery.🖐🤓
Say howdy for me
I rarely ate there but the inside was so 80s it made me happy . That lightning bolt logo !
TheDailyWoo you ain’t lyin!
I love the Electric Umbrella.... so 80's!!!
More 70's
Man, sometimes you don’t know how nostalgic a place is for you until you find out it’s changing or going away. I wondered how long EPCoT would be safe from major changes. New stuff for a new era, I guess. I’m going miss future world as we’ve known it. Nice work Adam. Awesome night shots! You captured many of my favorite night scenes at the park. Thank you.👍🏼🤘🏼😎
Never been to WDW. Wish we could have seen Epcot in its heyday.
Thanks for the final look, Adam.
Its ok , not as great as people think
@@brain8484 I was there when it first opened. Wasn't impressed
Perpetually under construction.
I can't remember what year I visited when everything was open with no construction walls. Been so many years. 2011, maybe?
It was my favorite park when it first opened. Really amazing in its heyday. Horizons, World of Motion, Energy, original Imagination, Spaceship Earth (still almost the same). It was about learning and great visuals in dark rides. Not themed after Disney IPs either. Very unique. The Six Flags crowd hates it.
@@cyborgasylum7353 it would be fair to say the average person who is not intellectually curious was not interested in original Epcot. Not just Six Flags group. I go to Cedar Point and Kings Island for thrills, speed.
Early Epcot inspired some of us but the attendance numbers weren't as high as Magic Kingdom, have to shutdown and change was the path chosen by executives.
To me, Epcot was wondrous and I realize that I am not the same as the masses. To see Wonders Of Life gutted, empty except for Festival merchandise and the Communicore buildings upset me but I couldn't understand why. When I rode Frozen ride and everyone gushed on how great while I thought it was creepy and lazy, I knew creativity was gone for this crowd.
Sorry for the wall of text. And I doubt that I conveyed how I really feel. My facial expression told it all when I went to Living Seas in 2013, so disappointed. I wander in shock through Epcot as though it's a foreign place to the World Showcase for a strong drink.
The memories there with my Dad...Its hard to see it go. We're on the Leave a Legacy. Hopefully one day we bump into each other at one of the parks!! Stay blessed
:/ I thought you meant maybe one day you'll see your dad at Epcot again. I was like 🤔 me too 😔. Oh wait, they're gonna take Epcot away. Welp, guess I won't be seeing him. Anyways, it seems like I remember Epcot way more than the other areas. Idky, I don't really consider myself sciencey. But yeah, Disney. A good place for the imagination. Rip Epcot. Everything I grew up on seems to be disappearing. Does that mean I'm getting old?
You will for a few years it's moved up further front.
@@florentinhero898 💡ohhhhh. Yeah I learned that some days back from stalking all the other comments tho thx
I love Epcot! I'm going to miss Club Cool, it's my favorite place to drink there
It will be a sad time in Epcot, just like the last few years at HS.
@@TMRtours I know right?
No!
Thank you so much Sir for sharing the Upcoming Past.
It always saddens me when Disney decides to take down classic attractions. It feels as if a part of my childhood was taken away from me.😞
@Natasel I'm not saying I hate new attractions. It's just a pity that such classic attractions won't always be around for children of new generations to see it like I did when I was a kid.
They will close half the park but still charge full price for the day. Instead of adding something every year they have done nothing for 20 or more years. Test track is a major letdown, original idea was much better.
I guess I was pretty lucky, in getting a full 2 days in Epcot, in 1992. Comminicore was far more intetesting then (vs. a 2006 visit, with my wife). Anyway, it's sad that the second floor WEDway Peoplemover, that was supposed to be built above the comminicore buildings, will now probably never be completed. However, I also realize many of the upcoming changes are sorely needed. *note for the Imagineers, a transport like WEDway, or train, or something is still needed at Epcot, especially from Spaceship Earth, down to Morocco in World Showcase. It's a very long walk. The boats take too long, and the Omnibus too infrequent. Thank you for reading.
That hallway behind club cool is my favorite place to sit and relax in all of Epcot Center. So sad..
It was awesome meeting you at epcot and being in your vid. Thanks for appearing on mine.
There is something special when Adam comes home to Florida!
Said out before and I'll say it again. Woo Florida vlogs are my favorites! Think it's because i first found him when looking up River Country a decade ago.
How I miss the old Epcot Center! Including the original Imagination ride, World of Motion and Horizons (replaced by that space laundry machine). Now we’ll have a Guardians of Galaxy rollercoaster in Future World. A theming disaster similar to Pixar Píer in California. 🤮
One of my favorite Disney memories is arriving at Epcot on the monorail & seeing Spaceship Earth for the first time. Test Track was an awesome ride. When I was there a long time ago they even had a huge pressing machine stamping out oil pans for car engines!
I'm head-over-heels in love with those princess actresses.
It is sad to see it go. My first visit to Communicore was probably '83. It left quite an impression, especially the Sperry exhibit. Computers that run Disney shows? Cool. I went on to later graduate with a degree in Computer Science and I wonder how many others were also inspired by Communicore/Innoventions?
As others have noted in these comments, the era that Communicore/Innoventions helped usher in has also led to its demise. We are able to get our hands on new technology faster than Disney (or anyone else for that matter) can prepare it for display.
I'm sure WDW will leave a hidden Communicore logo somewhere, as they always do for former attractions, and a few of us will see it and remember the era that was EPCOT Center.
We can only hope that something just as inspiring and interesting will be built there.
The red hot red lipstick melts my heart.
That last Monorail shot "nailed it"
You are the reason why I loved Club Cool so much Adam... it will be missed. To the memories, cheers Beverly
I hope Disney landscapers relocate all those mature trees and save all those iconic signs and decor that have been there since 1982 - I remember being awed by the architecture of Epcot Center in 1982!and I’m nostalgic about these features. Time moves on but Disney has lots of warehouse space and need to recycle as much of this as possible!
That was random. I don't have a fond attached memory to plants :/,,,... but 💡I do remember that they put alot of details in their flowers. Their flowers are combined to make pictures. Really pretty tho.
Awesome monorail shot at the end. Epcot is going to look so different when I'm there first week of February ☹
The brush moment ha ha
I've never been to Disney World but what always caught my attention was EPCOT's giant globe and was thee place that reminded me of Disney World of which I wish to visit in the future.
Looks like you had a truly Epcot day. Thanks for catching this moment in time before it's gone for good.
Thanks Adam, nice video. Exceptionally fine - catching the lighting and displaying what will be changed. You definatly caught a very nastalgic feel. I'm excited to see the changes that they make, hope I get to see them in person! If not we know you will share the excitemwnt!
Thanks for filming this. I will arrive September 22nd when this part is closed allready. Looking forward to the future but also a little bit sad when a part of classic Epcot is removed.
It’s a tough pill to swallow but the artistic renderings of what it will be look awesome
@@TheDailyWoo so true! I can not wait to see what will go in front of Spaceship Earth. I hope it looks like the statue from the past.
We 'Hunker Down' in North Carolina too....in fact I'm hunkering now.🤣🤣🤣👍
Considering all the promotion you do for Disney they should give you something from the classic Imagination ride.
Makes you wonder if all of the set dressing from this renovation will end up at the Mouse Surplus Store.
I'm not crying, you're crying! Going to miss all of this, but hope the reimagination will be great.
I'm 23 and have never been to either disney world or disney land. I plan on going next year. But im bummed that my first memories of disney world will be so much different than everyone else's. I love the retro stuff, man. But at least I can get a light saber now. You're documenting history & popular culture itself. Thankya
"Out with the old" is always a little sad but it'll be neat to see it again with all of the updates.
Progress is great but the nostalgic part of me wishes it would all stay the same. I hope you managed to smuggle the talking refuse bin out!
Every time they change something at Epcot, a piece of my childhood dies. Went there every year. . . even the first year it opened! Hey, are you going to be there for the 40th anniversary in 2022???
And, I can't believe they are getting rid of Illuminations. :( It was one of my favorite things to see!
4 years later...had to come back and rewatch this after the new changes. Man...
Amazing to me is that Test Track still exists in its current form - with some minor changes on the interior - since this opened in the 1980s. The predecessor to the Volt being sold (power on the ride comes from underneath, power on the Volt comes from on-board batteries).
Sam S test track opened in 1998. What does the chevy volt have anything to do with it?
@@JRBUISEXCAVATING The electric motors in the Volt while not the same model are a future generation of the motors used in Test Track. GM repurposed them for their electric car (a future version as this was an earlier version). The deisgn of Test Track came in the late 1980s, but the ride did not open up for nearly another decade as GM was designing the motors for the ride to work. Besides the redesign for the Volt they had to change the way it got its power as instead of a third rail beneath the surface, the Volt gets its power from a battery pack.
I don’t know about that... the motors in Chevy volts are far more sophisticated than those in the cars at test track. Ultimately the cars in test track are either a/c or converted to d/c, I’m not sure about the technology, but the technology to power a d/c battery powered car is very different than the simple, hundred year old technology to power test track.
@@JRBUISEXCAVATING The page I could pull that information from is no longer posted - the site no longer exists. However there is still a site that shows the development of Test Track took forever and a half. They actually started thinking about it in the late 1970s before starting to design it to replace World of Motion in the late 1980s. Opening was delayed due to the technical difficulties with the ride, primarily around the computer system controlling it. Essentially the first version of the software done outside of Disney allowed for 6 cars to run simultaneously, not enough to make the ride work. Disney took the coding on and two years later launched the ride. You can read about the development here: www.themeparktourist.com/features/20170205/32467/lost-legends-test-track
wow...nostalgia hitting me in the face! hurts...
Your FLA peeps are the best😂😂💕
The fact that she doesn't like mozzarella makes me question everything else about her.
I hate mozzarella as well
Adam + EPCOT = I wish I was there to hang out.
Awesome framing of the monorail & trams at the end! Loved it!
I remember the body ride, and Sega being there but broken.
I went to Epcot when I was six years old! I’ve been following your videos and reliving those childhood memories! Thank you so much sir!
This was low key a really touching and beautiful video
....oh, and put the Original Journey to Imagination, back to it's original Kodak sponsored version, PLEASE !!! I was so shocked at the current version, I got depressed, and nearly ruined my wife's trip, which was supposed to be our 2004 Honeymoon. (Hurricane, I re-booked our honeymoon to Disneyland instead.)
Happy belated birthday Adam 🎉 We Love you
Man I remember watching them start building this whole place and to see that go or start to go away is really sad but onward and up word great video again I thoroughly enjoyed it
Went to WDW in 1980 with my High School Marching Band. What memories...so THANKS Adam!! It was good to see her again! I still have the pictures, hahahahha!
Love thedailywoo haircut looking handsome
Okay, I think this video had to have broken the record for most monorail shots in one video, right? And they were all absolutely gorgeous Adam. I always picture you behind the camera lining up these beautiful shots and waiting for just the right moment. I also always picture you seeing something stupid, like that Mickey cookie with no ears, and coming up with these awesomely atrocious jokes/puns that I just cant get enough of (I would really love to see you and Justin Scarred do a pun-off someday!) Thank you for doing what you do and being who you are tho, your videos always put a smile on my face and let me live vicariously through you.
will be sad to see all the old stuff go but excited of all the new things to come great video
Diggin’ the new hairdo, bud! Have fun in Florida.
Adam you have no idea how big a happy face i have when you are saying 88 mph lol. best movie ever
Sad not seeing the leave a legacy plaques in front anymore. My family and I went down and had our names put on there when I was in high school, guess it was the final year that they were taking names for it. Really would have liked to see it again before being taken down. Oh well, onward and upward to progress!
Chris C I believe they are just moving them to a different location and not demolishing them
From what I've read, the Leave A Legacy photos will move into a new setting just outside the park’s gateway. While the photos will be staying, the granite columns will not be part of the new display.
Adam, thank you for the update. Where would we be without our one and only Adam the Woo?
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Original Epcot was so amazing and fun. Hopefully what comes will be as good but it's still sad.
The only sad part is they didn’t keep it updated
First time in a long time I've caught one of your vids as it's just been uploaded. Nice!! 👍
That coloring place is a stoner's dream come true. LOL
I have never been to any of the WDW parks yet so kind of sad that there are so many changes and didn’t get to experience what’s leaving the parks. Appreciate watching all the vlogs pertaining to the Disney parks to see what has been there. Thank you Adam!
I love that fountain at 9:30. Not happy that is being removed
WELCOME 😁BACK ADAM!!!!!... YOU ARE SUPER 😎COOL AND IVE ALWAYS 🤩LOVE EVERYTHING YOU POST!. LOVE🥰 THE HAIR!. AND SUPER 👍FUN TO BE WITH MICAH!. ENJOY 🌧THE RAIN, SUN 🌞THEN SUN 🌞AND🌦 RAIN. LOL!. STAY AWHILE!. MUCH LOVE FROM FLORIDA BELINDA 💚🍊💚🍊💚🍊😎😎😎😎😎🌧🌦⛅🌧🌦🌞🌞🌧🌧
“Hunker down” made famous by Tom Terry on WFTV 9 news during Hurricane Charley in 2004!
Thanks for the final trip. Kinda sad, sigh...
Scholars and academics will discuss Adams videos for decades to come.
Thumbs up for life.
I appreciate that
Breaks my heart to see some of these changes, but that's how it goes with Disney
"Is that World of Micah?" I've never seen Micah happier😁
I had my grad-night there in 1991 and it was very different from what Adam is describing now.
Me too!!! Go Class of '91! LOL
It was hard, but I said my goodbyes yesterday. Hoping for a bright future for Figment.
The sadness in Micah's voice when he said *"I'll take it"* LOL
Ha he poured it in all honesty
Just saw your Planet Express ship tattoo... very nice!
Very awesome
Well done Adam, thanks.
I'll get to see these closures for myself when I make my annual pilgrimage to WDW in early November. I had no idea how much is slated to be torn down. Thanks for the video, Adam. Always love Florida content.
I went to Epcot over 30 years ago.
I had always hoped to go back one day when I was older and could get even more out of it than when I was a kid.
A bit sad I waited too long.
Great hairstyle Adam. Irony that Future World is an antique and gonna be leveled. That's completely nuts. Thanks for documenting. What you do is important. Cheers matey! Happy travels! Thanks for the day at Epcot :)
Omg, that raining down poor made me miss Florida so much, I could smell the humid air!
Goodbye Future World, you're just a figment of my imagination. Gyro Gearloose is the chicken in Mouse Gear.
I will miss the illuminations... so many great Epcot memories
Wow. I was able to go to Disney World’s EPCOT Center In 1984, and my great disappointment to this day is that Spaceship Earth was closed for the length of our visit, as were half the few rides in the international region - the international part was basically a big food court, and since my grandmom was shockingly cheap, we mostly walked through it admiring the facades… except we got to enjoy a surround-cinema exhibit, and I think maybe that was in the China section. And while in Futureworld the Wonders of Life didn’t exist yet, the World of Imagination hall was AWESOME - I still have an EPCOT mug featuring Figment 🤗 - and while the paired Communicore exhibits were already becoming dated, they were equally great. I always imagined I’d get to go back to EPCOT one day and catch the things I’d missed - that everything at EPCOT would be updated to reflect new technologies, but that otherwise the base structures and concepts would be as timeless as Disney’s flying Dumbo ride. I had no idea that a) it’d grown so neglected in the ‘90s, b) they would tear down most of the structures, c) they’d repurpose the existing ones away from their core concepts to instead focus on pushing their own lame IP, dropping the ecological themes of the ocean exhibit in favor of some lame _Finding Nemo_ ride, and d) pretty much abandon everything EPCOT had been, but keep the name and turn it into just another lame theme park. I’m glad I got to go, I’d have savored the experience more if I’d realized how fleeting the whole park would be, but I really wish so many rides hadn’t have been shut at the time. It’s seeming likely I won’t live that much longer anyway, though, so I’m glad videos like these exist.
No! The Dreamfinder's machine must be saved!
Hi Adam awesome vlog at Disney World, at Epcot Center. Sad ti see the vintage rides and attractions will change for the future!
Thanks for taking us along and I love your new hair style. ✨
Epcot will always be my favorite Disney park. I will always love the 80s Epcot, but change is not always a bad thing.
In this case change is bad. Epcot aka Ipcot is going to be just another Magic Kingdom.
@@cardman1031 meh I'm looking forward to the changes. That's fine if you aren't.
@@cardman1031 and MK has become so awful.
Awesome video update! We had no idea all these changes were coming! Can't wait to see pictures of the imagineering!
Whooahhh Adam is back here!!! Michah looks like the Carpetbagger lol.
So sad I won't be able to see thisstuff before it's gone. I'm waiting for my husband to return from deployment overseas and I wanted him to take me but that might not be till before the end of the year. Thank you Adam for showing it to us now
Oh my,I love Epcot! I went to Disneyworld and Epcot as a teen with a group from school which was in 1990,it was my first time in Florida...hopefully they put in some other awesome rides,cool places to see and restaurants
Dang even the fountain! Wonder how Walt would feel about this whole change
6:04 my boy the woo stuck in the 90's with them baggy ass jeans. lmao. I dig it homie.
It’s crazy how much Disney has changed through the years
