about
In this Bandcamp exclusive show, Len Testa & Jim Hill trace the origins of EPCOT’s “American Adventure” all the way back to Disneyland’s expansion plans circa 1956. They also reveal the key role that Disney Legend Marc Davis played in sorting out what this World Showcase attraction should really be about.
lyrics
Over the course of this episode, listeners will learn about:
What the end of the movie version of “1776” has in common with the “Hall of the Declaration of Independence” show that was proposed for Disneyland Park
How Franklin Roosevelt’s son personally put the kibosh on Disney’s “Hall of Presidents” show becoming the marquee attraction at that $ 17 million pavilions which the United States government was building at the 1964 – 1964 New York’s World Fair
Why falling attendance levels at Disneyland Park’s “Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln” & WDW’s “Hall of Presidents” convinces Marc Davis that the Imagineers need to take a far more light-hearted approach when it comes to EPCOT’s America pavilion
Which ride system did Marc Davis originally propose as the very best way to move WDW Guests through EPCOT’s America pavilion
Which creative conceit from Marc Davis’ second pitch for EPCOT’s United States pavilion did Randy Bright eventually resurrect for “The American Adventure”
