Sorry to correct you illinoisloyalty1 but when this video was made the cold war was over. America was not boycotting anything Russian as it did in the early eighties. (and then only politically)Disney could not get Russia to sponsor a pavilion as the other countries had done because of Russias' financial problems.
Thanks for the part series! I have been to Disney World 7 times and I am returning next July with my daughter for her first trip. Too bad the Mt. Fuji ride at Epcot's Japan pavilion never transpired.
It was an old recording I remembered my family having, coming from the Disney Channel around '91 or '92. It was around the time of the 20th anniversary.
I wonder if they are still planning the Russian pavilion and Mt. Fiji ride in the Japan pavilian. I know they're building something at Epcot right now. They have the walls up.
the russian pavilion was abandoned because when they were going to make it, there was the cold war. america just boycotted all russian things. it was the same thing as wwII where americans boycotted all german things.
For reference. Hate to break it to ya, there is a Roger Rabbit Ride. At Disneyland Tokyo.

The Surprise Celebration parade looks like they've used the same floats as from the Party Gras parade at Disneyland for its 35th anniversary.

Are you sure? I think the closest we're ever seeing to a mountain like that is Everest at the Animal Kingdom.

The Fuji ride underwent some changes, transferred to Animal Kingdom, and
became Expedition Everest.

The Russian Pavilion was abandoned, that Space pavilion obviously became Mission
Space, and the Fuji Ride, well,
nothing's written in stone about that
one. A Spain Pavilion would be nice.
They wanted to make an Israel pavilion
once.
