Ep 90 - Computers at WDW
Переглядів 804Місяць тому
Brian takes this lead for this episode and we are super excited to get into all of the areas where computers innovated and impacted the first couple decades at Walt Disney World. After awhile, computers became common all over, but through the 70s & 80s, these innovative pieces of tech helped WDW in many ways. We start off with some pre-opening documentation, which is on DisneyDocs (www.disneydo...

That guy in the white behind the band at 5:30...for some reason he reminds me of a Bond villain. I think it's the tilt of his hat. He's definitely up to no good. Or was in 1983.
Another good job 😀
Was there with my family December of '83. Brought back many memories 😊
Even though there is no sound I can still "hear" this. ☺️
One of my favorite parts of the Living Seas was seeing the diver in the cylindrical tank, waving to everyone as he ascended or descended
I think the girl at 28:58 had a little too much to drink!
absolutely beautiful
Very good. Shows details of some of the OG rides.
Please tell me you finished restoring this as this version seems so close to completion.
I saw this parade! I think it was in February 1976. I have old photos of it!
Terminal computing of a form was used in schools in the early 2000's. It was called thin client. There was one expensive (robust) computer in the school and classes had 2-3 of the cheapest tech available. Not quite the same. but the class clients did none of the actual processing. The bigest pain where I worked was that the printer was in the school office and a student had to be sent to grab any printouts.
as a kid, my parents had taped this on a Betamax tape and i'd watch it over and over!
Was roger rabbit in this?
My grandparents had a copy of this video and when they would babysit me I would watch it nonstop, probably why I'm a Disney Parks fan today. Thanks for uploading!
Disney is hell bent on destroying everything that made EPCOT Center the best theme park on earth. They are accomplishing their goal.
And not a rip off lightening lane in sight
Time traveling 💖
Them closing this down for no reason other than sticking to an agenda was my last straw. To hell with Disney, I'll stick to Tokyo from now on. I'm just glad I rode both Splashes in the US.
My favorite ride of all time.
A ticket in 1971 was $3.50. Cost adjusted for 2024 inflation: $27.33 In 2024, you're looking at $150 to walk in the gate!
They had a float of a witch dunking?!?!?!?! Don't tell me Disney tries to overly sanitize history!!!
Is that (sort of) animatronic figure of the guy fishing on end of dock in river still at Wdw? It’s charming.
Did the car cross the Chesapeake Bay on a ferry, or did they just take a motorboat ride?
No backpacks, no cellphones. How did we ever survive? ;)
Less than 50 years ago. Idyllic, wide open highways. Parade was trippy. Those large mannequin heads, curious. A double window into the past. Thanks for posting.
Love this. Great quality!
No sound 😮😊
True of many home movies of almost 50 years ago. The 2nd “silent era”. ;)
best ride ever
This is interesting; it's one of the first times Steve Whitmire voiced Kermit, and also one of the final times Richard Hunt voiced Janice before his death. This was also an early instance of Disney character costumes with articulated masks; another was Baloo and Fat Cat in "The Disney Afternoon: Plane Crazy" at that time. The way Gonzo's colored reminds me of Baby Gonzo from "Muppet Babies". I also like the caps he and Fozzie are wearing.
This film is 100% from 1978, as that was the only year that Mickey’s 50th Birthday Parade took place. It debuted on Jan 28, 1978. The Dumbo parade started on Jan 2, 1979. Based on the fact that many people are wearing long pants (and some can be seen holding jackets), while others are wearing shorts, I’d say this film is for either Spring 1978 or Fall 1978. There are no signs of anything holiday related so I’m guessing Spring 1978 (my guess Mar or April). But it’s definitely 1978.
Thanks for that info!
I saw the MSEP in June 1996 when my mum and i was on a vacation in L.A for a fortnight from the U.K it was MAGICAL.I was 25 and this was my first and only visit to the U.S.A.I cried like a baby as i was so overwhelmed with just how beautifull it all was.This is a very interesting video. Best Wishes Hazel
Yes WDW isn't a museum, but why not update the rides? Instead of wiping them out from memory, and having nothing to do with Walts vision. Just my 2 cents. Long live Horizons!!!
WOW!!!! I am so hapy this video exists, and so happy that I got to go to this ride a few times when a super young kid. Only those who went to it can really re-imagine how it was to be there by watching this video. It unlocked so many old memories I had forgotten. As soon as they showed up in the video, I remembered exactly how those pieces were inside the full room, with all the immersive sounds, all the amazing art, and even the smells of each area! They should just re-do it how it was but with newer animatronics.... Bring back the dreamfinder, bring back the dream vehicle, bring back the dream port.... it was so amazing. I was literally in awe watching this video and validating that I was not being crazy of how amazing I remember this was.
Had this on VHS. Played it all the time as a kid.
Can You Please More Walt Disney World Summer Jam Concert? 1999 & 2000
My all time favorite Disney World attraction. Love the song.
It's like looking at a completely different world. The amount of care and attention to detail, focus on experiences like Main Street being an actual Main Street and not just two blocks of a giant gift shop, the live music all over the park, attractions that have no tie in to an "intellectual property" but were built by imagineers to give an immersive story and environment you could get no where else. Most of that has been or is being erased.
Why even bother titling that chapter Haunted Mansion lol
Amazing! It almost hurts to see Horizons being built, knowing its fate. Better to have loved and lost, though
i remeber seeing a elephant suck a performers nuts here
Woah the park itself looks so colourful and clean and nicer
THREE YEARS from start to finish. now how long the 10th rebrand of Test Track take? "U-Matic Tape wow! lol omg I went to school..broadcasting... interned at a PBS tv station..they all used umatic..i have some Umatic tapes I used for my advanced video production final...Two years later, the world went digital. everything that i learned was completely useless. 😂 that reminds me....i gotta get those converted.
Kids, we actually did believe in 2001 that Honey Nut Cheerios were healthier than a breakfast burrito. That was when low carb was called the Atkins Diet and was for total weirdos.
Thanks to the Shaggy archivist for including the NBC footage
Disney has to bring back the summer jam concert series
Right even if it's just on Disney Plus
@@mayflower7811 I agree
What amazing footage. A bare plot of land where the Living Seas was built, Horizons under construction, no Eiffel Tower in France and so much construction going on backstage.
Just before 9/11. Everything was so idyllic that summer (at least it was for me personally).
I think bob iger needs to take a look at these tapes. Such wonderful times when we had pride for our country!
Interesting to see the aerial view where you can see ground broken for "Horizons" but no construction underway of the building yet. I miss the original EPCOT.
