Hey McFly!
Since Dave seems to have EPCOT on the brain lately, we decided to take a trip back in time to reminisce about our favorite lost attractions from days of EPCOT past. But first, the news. We discuss the opening of the Enchanted Rose bar at Walt Disney World's Grand Floridian Resort, travel social media job opportunities, creepy and kooky hotels and some very large animals. Then Heather teases a big announcement-make sure you stick around to the end of the show, when we tell you how you can enter for a chance to win a trip to Walt Disney World in the Disney Do Over contest, courtesy of Theme Park Professor and Key to the World Travel!
Highlights of this week's discussion include:
- Dave gets philosophical
- Everyone loved the Wonders of Life Pavilion, but what was up with The Making of Me?
- Communicore > Innoventions
- We want more of the hands on "science museum" type exhibits in the post show area of attractions
- The whole Imagination pavilion used to be, like, really good!
- We already miss IllumiNations
