We are saddened to learn of the passing of Alice Davis, who designed and personally drew and cut the fabric patterns for the 150 costumes needed for "It's A Small World." Named a Disney Legend in 2004, she was also married to animator and Imagineer Marc Davis for 44 years.
🚁Come take to the skies in a 1988 helicopter tour of WDW, EPCOT and a 🎬Disney-MGM Studios that is under construction!
This is one of the most AMAZING films we've ever restored.
🎞️35mm film scanned at 4k - 30fps and 60fps versions!
This line should be studied by younger generations to understand what patience is. No smartphones, people talked or planned their next un-scheduled attraction in line
Just pure un-shaded Florida heat. You know there are dinosaurs in that building, and nothing will stop you☀️🦕⚡️
This is what happens when
@GoAwayGreen
goes to Horizons in the 90s, sets up a wide-angle camcorder on a tripod, and then you apply modern stabilization software.
We are going to be good neighbors today and share some amazing footage from 1991 Universal Studios Florida. 30mins of attractions, rides, and more. This VHS has been amazing!

Hey
@MCO
we stumbled upon some of your terminal toddler and pre-teen photos from '84 and '89... How about those seats, and the manual departure board...
We couldn't have a RetroMagic event without Disney Legend Bob Gurr, who is as fun, charming, and smart as his reputation says he is. Meet him at RetroMagic 2023 on September 31 - October 1, 2023. Limited tickets are still available at

I don't often comment on current WDW events, but the parking fee complaints are coming in fast and furious. Checked WDW's Facebook page last night and the resort was a 5 star rating and had 26,000 1 star reviews. Today? 4.6 rating and 51,000 1 star ratings. Voices are out there!
Happy to announce that Journey Into Imagination Revisited has reached the Release Candidate stage! We're in final QA! Thank you for being so patient, you're going to love it! Please stand by for a live-streaming announcement to showcase the new release from our Revisited series!
