I wish this epcot was still here.
I visited epcot for the first time just two years after this video was made and it is the epcot that I remember very well. Thanks for the memories.
Miss Horizons and the way the entire Future World entrance looked. Was thrilled to see the three acrylic fountain prisms return!! And those hideous tombstones moved.
They removed the tombstones ?
Brought back some great memories!
I enjoy Epcot these days but there was nothing like it back in the 80s and 90s. Riding Horizons for the first time and going thru sea base Alpha as well as the other timeless classics.
Also, if I’m remembering it correctly, Innovations with sega, Nintendo, as well as all the things to play around with. Such a wonderful and magical place back then.
I went there in 1986 too. Still remember The Living Seas and The Land.
thank you this was the last time I was ever able to go to Disney for a crap ton of years
This is one of those home videos which transform themselves into valuable footage. I remember being there in 1985 and thought everything was high tech, and all of these things look so dated, lol. Very nice!
LS R They do look dated by today's standards. You should see the amount of equipment I was dragging around the park to film it. All with no concept of the internet and UA-cam and the idea that someday I may be sharing the footage through digital means. Nevertheless, Epcot had some things then that they don't have now that I miss, like the tour of the command center hosted by a 16 inch hologram. Somehow we could be amazed by the changes in technology back then in ways that today we don't get much rise out of.
exactly as a kid in the late 80's Epcot was so high tech also loved the monorail
This video is such a treasure! the footage of Horizons is amazing! The joy in your families voices is so great!!
Haha. Thanks. Mostly just me and my brother at 15 wowed out of our adolescent seats.
My first trip to WDW was in 1986! BEST. VACAY. EVER. OG Future World 4 Life!
i love this so much i was 3 when i went in 86 and i remember having so much fun and being mesmerized!!! Thank you for posting
That's great. Glad it meant something to you. I have been back many time over the years and it's been great every time, but never as magical as when I was young and it was all so new and changing so quickly.
Exactly same for me. I was 3 in 86 when the family brought me there.... seeing this video was cool! My memory of floating through the future in space, watching all these futuristic families blew my mind at the time. I actually believed we were somehow floating through space.
@@GreigKennedy1968 Yeah I have been back my first time was late 80's maybe 87? It was always the most magical when we were kids, its still a great place but just not as good as when we first experienced it!
This is an awesome video! Thanks for posting it! I went there in 1985 and 1987, but we didn't have a video camera, we just have slides. It's refreshing to see families connecting with one another. It seems like nowadays, everybody's eyes are on their phones. I miss those old days!
Thanks for the comments. I miss them too. I appreciate the technology of today and in a paradoxical kind of way Epcot is in part responsible for the advancement of the tech that your are referring to today. It's our responsibility to use it in moderation. To film this I had a camera the size of a bread loaf with a fat wire going into an actual VCR I had to carry in a bag on my shoulder the size of a microwave.
Some incredibly great closeups on "Carousel Of Progress" in the "Now Is The Time" period. That was *my* version of the attraction with Andrew Duggan's firm voice of authority as the father instead of Jean Shepherd's doofus. The 1975-1993 period of WDW/EPCOT is the Golden Age that's gone forever and thank goodness it lived long enough into the age of camcorders.
I couldn’t agree more. I only wish there was some more original footage. Filmed by better quality cameras, perhaps by Disney.
Epcot has so much wonderful memories for so many families. I loved the France movie, the older Mexico movie, The Ellen show ride is still operating (but wasnt called the Ellen show) its the dinosaur ride!!! It was magical in the 1980s and early 1990s!!!! I miss the old music they used to play with the fireworks
thank u very much . lots of memories
Terrific video!! We were there Easter week 1986..my dad worked for Sperry computers and we were treated to the Sperry VIP lounge at Communicore!
That must have been amazing. Tech was so new and engaging then because things seemed to change overnight.
Pretty cool. I used to go a few times back 1986 until about 1988. Brings back some memories
Awesome man..Was there Xmas '86.
'86 forever !!! You also have 86 subscribers right now 🤣🤣
Love it. Thanks for the memories.
So glad you enjoyed it. Amazing to think that a video that is almost 40 years old would live to see the internet and be shared by so many more that just our family as a vacation video.
+Greig Kennedy almost 30!!! i was born in '86 and am far from 40, lol
+Joe Stafa I was referring to the video being almost 40 years old. Not you.
Omg I went here in ‘88 when I was 4 and still vividly remember being in ‘Japan’ and my dad bought me a sugary drink that had the most fancy umbrella in it. Wow-i would def go back. Great memories RIP mom and dad
I wish I was there in 1986. At age 12
Awesome!!!! Video, bring back early memories of a time gone by.
17:12 noticed what looked remarkably like chemtrails, interesting. 1986
