Which Walt Disney World resort hotel would be the best for riding out a hurricane?
15:01 the paint on the windows look cheap and basic.
Oh, brought tears to my eyes. Great memories, great intro!
Old epcot was fire.
That brilliant opening really makes me wonder if Disney shouldn't give serious thought to a regular, full-time attraction that is strictly miniatures. Walt loved miniatures, he had a travelling exhibition on a train, plans for the original Disneyland to have "Lilliputian Land" and his own "Granny's Cabin" on display at Hollywood Studios for some time. The giant model of the original EPCOT plan was probably the largest of them all.
Personally I wouldn't mind some park attraction where you could see full sized replicas of discontinued attractions, or even working models of attractions that could have been but never were. ( Thunder Mesa and the Western River Expedition ) Tony Baxter once had a partial model of it but I'd love to see a working one.
The budget would be considerably less than building a ride, and while I don't know what the capacity would be or how many people an hour it would service, it would be comparatively cheap and of interest to many. Keep rotating out the miniatures & models for renewed interest. A thing like that could appeal to old and young, showing off discontinued rides, projecting rides that may someday exist, or even showcasing actual models used to make existing rides.
As a local here I must say prayers for all the homeless around here, we don’t have homeless shelters in central florida and there’s many after the events of Covid.
Hope you guys stay safe.
I want to tip my hat off to you guys. You guys know how to celebrate anniversaries better than Cheapek. I also hope you all stay safe from the hurricane. Epcot was my favorite park as we both made our debuts the same year in 1982. I loved the opening tribute to Epcot.
The first few minutes of this made me totally bawl my eyes out, no matter that some of the old attractions were a bit naff, and some of the animatronics were jittery, this was MY Disney World , and it’s gone, how sad .
Thumbs up just for the introduction! We will never see Disney make such a tribute.
Thank you… Love the opening with first scenes from worlds fair , love the 40th sad Disney doing nothing….I will be there Oct 8 , supposedly there might be another one heading that way then… One time during a hurricane they brought animals in to the lobby of wilderness lodge years ago.. again thank you….WIGS..
Was that intro tailor made for gen Xers?
Love the snow white apple mug on your desk!! Where did you get it?
1) Your EPCOT intro made me tear up. Beautiful.
2) I hope everyone stays safe during the hurricane.
3) You bet I just followed that link to buy a Rover!!! 😍
The colors on the candy corn popcorn bucket. Come on Disney…..details!
all the new ducktails charters have smartphones!?
Your intro to this video is exactly what this entire celebration should be. Man I hope Disney learns from you because this brought tears to my eyes as a former cast member and person who became a teacher because of epcot. Thank you so much for this.
I pray and hope that Disney World and the entire Orlando will be safe
Sorry to hear that!
Epcot 40th intro was stellar. It makes me feel the way I want to feel about Epcot, which Disney itself is never great at. I ordered Rover the Carousel dog as soon as it came out. Can’t wait to get it. He also has the attraction name printed on the back of his bandana. Stay safe in FL.
Lower the castle!!
Cloth eers! Lol
Great job on Epcot montage. Still have true fans of original Epcot greatness that we all need to never forget!
Great introduction. Will you be doing a video on EPCOT holiday festival? This sounds interesting and we have plans to be there beginning of December.
I wasn't financially free until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my third house already, earn on a monthly through passive income and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing in the financial market is a grand choice I made. Great video! Thanks for sharing!Very inspiring! I love this.
The opening made me literally cry, well done! Haven't been to Epcot since 2001 but loved it, my favorite park and im luck to have been to all the American ones
That EPCOT 40th Anniversary Montage IS FIRE!!!! You hit ALL the highlights of the BEST YEARS! You had the Hydrolaters at the Living Seas, Figment’s voice, and even Maelstrom!!! THANK YOU from my heart for the extreme effort and love you put into all you do!!! ❤️
We are sitting in our hotel right now enjoying the rain at Disney world
See you guys on Saturday!
It amazes me that 1982 was 40 years ago. I joined the Army that year.
"Which Walt Disney World resort hotel would be the best for riding out a hurricane?" The one with a basement. What's that, none of them have rooms below ground level? Guess I'll stay home.
I truly wonder if EPCOT which was suppose to be a working and livable city was gonna be a similar town/city like Hershey PA. We live in hershey and we learned that Milton Hershey build affordable housing specifically for his factory employees to live in.
That opening was incredible! Also, you need to buy all the country bears merchandise. When you save someone's life, you're responsible for them.
You are liying I work at Hollywood studios and I’m sure the so called cast members told that a wheel chair hit it. And that emergency workers left there. I was there the whole time. So stop lying. We were telling guest that asked. We told guest it was a matiance issue. So stop the bill crap. Again we were to tell guests it was a matiance issue. Again I’m a cast member myself so quite liying.
I am an coustodian cast member there at Hollywood studios. Again I was there
//Cant hide from every storm ya damn mouse.
Gonna need a moment to be sad that 'Pedo Rama' has to close..oh no…smh
Praying Disney drops the woke. I will stand with Florida parents.
WOW, those first 4 minutes of this video … I'm not crying, you are!!! 😜😍😎
