Holy Crap they can get a lot done in a year! It's taken me 7 years to replace the rotten wood trim on my house!

-
Look at 0:12!!!

OSHA would have had a field day if they were on site when this was made!

Wow so much going on here...I am suprised Disney put this behind the scenes show out to the public like this,,,showing Epcot being built by regular people. Disney always wanted to create the illusion that it was all a real fairytale place, not a man made tourism park. I also would like to know what the two subliminal messages with Mickey Mouse are all about at the beginning...did anyone slow this down to hear/see what it says?

considering the cost of building a city like never built before... Id say they cheaped out. Hey... everybody knows they did.
-
@TimmyME I don't think spending nearly 1 billion dollars on a park is the cheap way out.
-
Disney didn´t want to spend the money without Walt. They took the cheap way out how one ever looks at it. That is a pitty.

@TimmyME It's a variation on Walt's dream. The Walt Disney company felt that without Walt's guidance they could not succesfully build EPCOT the city. They still wanted to build EPCOT in some form, however. And so they did it with a media that they were more familiar with: The theme park. Epcot today is obviously very different from EPCOT Center. Unfortunately, the park just never took off like the company hoped. People don't want to learn it seems, they just want to be mindless.

This was not Walt´s dream... this is just another themepark.
Michael Landon was soooo cool. I think it's funny that in almost every opening shot he has his knee up. I went to EPCOT about a month after if first opened I was only four but I still remember it. I love EPCOT. I also saw the first space shuttle launched on that trip.
