Disney Pic of the Week: Journey Into Imagination

Posted on by AllEars
I had the recent opportunity to examine the Journey Into Imagination Press Kit by Kodak and was able to scan the photos. See if you know the area of the pavilion this photo is from. Scroll down for answer. If only I had a digital camera back then. “The Magic Palette, one of several color … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Journey Into Imagination"

Here’s an interesting photo I found of the outside of the Universe of Energy. At one time, in the early 2000s, the Flower and Garden festival would feature larger than life insects and bugs.

I will say Mission Space allowed me to experience a rocket launch but that’s about it. The rest is a blur. Here’s a nod … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Mission Space"
