The 1980s… sadly I never stepped foot in the Magic Kingdom or Epcot during the 80s. So, once again I have to go elsewhere for a photo. Did you know Epcot once had real elephants in Future World? It did, in a special event called the Daredevil Circus Spectacular. Here is a photo a friend … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: 1980s"

The scene during the audio-animatronics show called American Adventure in Epcot’s World Showcase with President Teddy Roosevelt and Jon Muir is my favorite. It reminds me of … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Patriotic"
