Originally Posted By brotherdave No, that didn't occur until the 1990s. This was in here during it's early years.

Originally Posted By brotherdave Hamm and Eggz By the way, correct on the name of Earth Station. Now, my next question is (actually, from before), what were the names of the touch screen video kiosks called in Earth Station (and at other various locations around EPCOT Center) where you could make dinner reservations, but could also find out just about anything concerning Epcot and WDW?
