by The Jim Hill Media Podcast Network

about

With the help of Ted Linhart (i.e., the man behind DisneyDocs.net), Len Testa & Jim Hill launch a brand-new series. One that will take a detailed look at how WDI’s plans for WDW’s second gate mutated from 1978 to when EPCOT Center officially opened in October of 1982.

lyrics

Over the course of this episode, listeners will learn about:

What did Joseph Mankiewicz think would be a far more fitting name for EPCOT Center’s thesis attraction, Spaceship Earth

What was the ride vehicle that was supposed to carry Guests through “The Incredible Journey Within” supposed to have been called

Which Mankiewicz brother does “Mank” (i.e., that biopic which David Fincher directed for Netflix, which debuts on that subscription streaming service on December 4th) celebrate

Which Disney cartoon ducks were first supposed to have been turned into Audio-Animatronic figures and then starred in a history of medical discoveries which was to have been presented inside of Future World’s “Life & Health” pavilion

Which problem-plagued 20th Century Fox production almost ended Joseph Mankiewicz’ career back in the early 1960s
