Oh, yes, Food Rocks -- I miss them! Was '80s Epcot really as cool as I remember? Or is it all nostalgia talking?This is much better. I must say I was immensely disappointed when your first "Epcot Cheese" post actually had to to with Cheese. This was much more what I was envisioning!
You can't help but love Captain EO in it's totally cheese-o-riffic glory. Now if only they could bring back Food Rocks, I'd be a happy child of the 80's. (If you don't remember it, or actually even if you do, watch it on YouTube if you need to laugh. I'd gladly trade Soarin' to see it live again!)
I had totally forgotten about those bikes! I have not, however, forgotten about the awkwardness of watching "The Making of Me" with my parents!Awwww old Epcot!!! I'm very happily listening to Food Rocks (thanks Joanna!) typing this . I definitely thought that EO was a fantastic throwback, and basked in the wonderfulness of it all when there.
The thing I remember most about the Wonders of Life pavillion are those exercise bikes they had there! I don't even remember what they measured, but I was pretty competitive about it! Oh, and Cranium Command!!!!
Be prepared to embrace the '80s ridiculous-ness!I have yet to watch Captain EO, but I promise to see it in December. I am definitely over 30, so what's not to love?
Fun update!
Geek!my fear exactly!!!
Another fear - flinging it at the CM trying to swipe it. That coil has some spring to it.
I really needed a retractable badge holder thingie like my work keys are on ( Say geek with me ) This way it never really leaves me and I don't lose it- sober or not. ooooohhhh I may onto something here for this year.
Thanks, Kat!So glad Nory was able to go see Captain EO as she chose to do. My DH went to see it while I checked email for the office, etc.
Nory took wonderful pictures of Canada in World Showcase.
Yep, FFC and Lucas. It was the '80s, after all!Ah yes, I saw Captain EO back in the day. Nostalgic moment over.
Who was in that picture with Michael? Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas?
In all honesty, it's pretty terrible. But in such a wonderful, wonderful way!Captain Eo! I'm oddly excited to see that for the first time I was only 4 when the 80's ended but I have a strange attraction to the era nonetheless.
Love the pictures of the Canada pavilion
