If the edutainment returns, I may reconsider my stance on returning to WDW sooner rather than later.

(Ok, they were never walk-around characters, but, hey, I can still wish Kitchen Kabaret were still here, too!) A resurrection ( Ah, the EPCOT Center of the 1980s: World of Motion, The Living Seas, Journey Into Imagination, Magic Journeys (or if you prefer, Captain Eo), Listen to the Land, Kitchen Kabaret, Wonders of Life, Communicore, and of course, Horizons! The truly best decade for the park was its first!

It certainly the kind of stuff that could likely be removed in 72 hours or less. That's just a guess, though, I haven't heard for sure.

I'd love if that came back, but I shant wish for too much!

But I wouldn't be surprised one bit to see the old guy there.

Originally Posted By brotherdave >>Now, if EPCOT Center get's it's own 25th Anniversary CD, I'll fall over dead!<< >>Amen to that, all of our old attractions on a multi disk set, simply a wonderful idea.<< What a fantastic idea! I wonder if there's any possibility of that ever happening. I seriously doubt that EPCOT Center would get a full 6 disc treatment like Disneyland did, but, hey I'd settle for a two or three CD set with complete ride-thru's and complete show soundtracks. The original background music loop, too, should be included as well!
