I wish I could have been here for this era ❤ 97’ baby over here who couldn’t experience this 😅

[@FilmThePoliceFTP]

By the time you were 10 this majestic ending to spaceship earth was no more

[@apexwaggish1341]

Epcot was my favorite Disney park, I too visited around 97, I remember sitting in front of the blue screen and being on the Tonight show with Jay Leno at Innovations 😀, Horizons was my favorite feature. I Remember the first time going there with my dad earlier and their being some exhibit where you would touch buttons and there would be colorful bubbles displayed on the wall/ceiling or something like that.

Thank You! This video brings back so many memories :)

[@DisneyDave]

Your welcome, great to hear this video brought back many memories for you ❤️

[@ephemerabluetit335]

Oh heck yeah. Thanks a million. This is just how I wish to remember EPCOT. You bet you get a like and subscribe. Cheers!

[@DisneyDave]

Awesome, thank you!

[@danielboone3770]

I wish I was 23 in 1997 going to Epcot at WDW!

[@ridetrackx]

Love the intro. Very Wonderful World of Disney with Walt describing the episode. Also, you have distinctly mastered the art of visual storytelling and documentation of theme parks in this medium. There's a very nostalgic, familiar, comfortable and thoughtful approach to the layout of the content. Kudos.
It's interesting listening to the families describe their visits. It's a very "the importance of what we can take away as a family" point of view. I don't hear that take much anymore.

[@DisneyDave]

@ridetrackx Thank you ❤️

[@piratelady6467]

Thanks ❤ love it - my dad passed away not long ago and we went in 1997-1998 - so this reminds me of our trip - it was a great time with my dad 😊 thanks for this - it makes me so happy to see - i lost my stuff from my trip - so this is the best ever .

[@DisneyDave]

@piratelady6467 ❤️❤️❤️

[@Best74260]

Neat I was there for two weeks. I was almost 6 years old

[@alexgeorge501]

Didn't test track open in 98'? Thanks for uploading another magical home video!

[@DisneyDave]

Alex your right there 👍 Test Track had soft openings in 98, So they were way off with the opening date when they made that EPCOT promo, It did actual throw me, because I was thinking why didn't I film it! 😂

[@bdm3052]

This is still my favorite park. Epcot before they put stuff on top on spaceship earth

[@DisneyDave]

Its a great park but I do miss some of the earlier ride and attractions

[@db1566]

Disney was so much better in the 90s
