I remember when I first visited EPCOT Center (as it was known as in 1983) all the landscaping was perfect and the trees where from 8 to 15 feet high. As the years have gone by, many of the trees have grown very tall. In searching out a photo for this week’s theme, I really noticed these palm trees near Mission: Space. It is unlikely these trees where here back in 1983 when this location was welcoming guest to ride in Horizons but I am sure some of the other ones nearby were.

I tried to recall a quote from Walt Disney about trees. It wasn’t until I got home and searched for it that I found it:

Tall palm trees near the entrance to Mission Space.

The same can be said for Walt Disney World, Walt!
