The archives display |
|
|
|
|
|
|
As part of the Destination D event there was a display of some materials
from the company's archives |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Seeing some of the Audioanimatronics up
close was really cool |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Day two of the event began with the
park's Ambassadors |
|
|
|
After a fake out look at park
publications from Steven Clark, the Trivia Tournament began |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Disney D-Tales |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Disney D-Tales was a great presentation
by Imagineers explaining how the show comes together |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There were great examples given of the
little details that go into Disney attractions |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It was really neat to see some of the details you
might normally miss and find out the stories behind the stories the
attractions tell. There are so many Easter Eggs in every attraction, and
it was fun to learn how the Imagineers incorporate them into their
designs. |

Imagineering Walt Disney World: From
Yesteryear to Tomorrow |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The next segment gave an overview of
what Imagineers do |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We then got a preview of Star Tours II |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then there was a presentation on the Art
of Animation Resort |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And then there was a presentation on the
"new" Fantasyland |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The details given on the Fantasyland expansion were
fairly sparse and didn't give much more information than what had
already been released. Perhaps the most interesting thing was
noting that there will be a lot more trees in the new section since it
is not on top of the Utilidors. |
|
Finally, they made the official announcement that
when the Tiki Room returns from its rehab after the fire earlier this
year it will bring back a version of the original show rather than the
"Under New Management" version that had been running. |
|
|
|
Creating a Whole New Disney World |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The next presentation was a panel on
what it took to make the park a reality |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Making The Magic Happen |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Making the Magic Happen also discussed
the people who made the dream come true |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The final event was a musical event
featuring entertainers from the park through the years |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then came the amazing Richard Sherman
who played so many of the songs that have become part of our culture |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Richard Sherman told all the stories
behind the songs he wrote for Disney and for other projects |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The stories about Mary Poppins were
really amazing |
|
|
|
"Feed the Birds" was Walt's favorite
song, and Richard Sherman told an amazing story about playing the song
as a tribute to Walt at Disneyland |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The stories behind the attraction music
were really interesting |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some of the music like the Orange Bird
song and the Glorious Fourth hadn't been played in years |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We got to hear the song the Sherman
Brothers wrote for Horizons that was never used |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Richard Sherman's portion of the show concluded with
the arrival of Dream Finder and Figment who sang Imagination with him,
moving many people in the audience to tears as they sang along. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The evening concluded with an amazing
presentation by Encore, the Disney cast choir and orchestra who
performed a medley of music from EPCOT Center and concluded with When
You Wish Upon a Star and all of the evening's performers came out to
join in. It was a truly magical evening. |
