The all New *OFFICIAL JUNE* 2011 thread! Some like it hot!

If you bring an autograph book from home, what do you buy (or make?). I have no idea if my kids will be interested or not, so I thought I'd bring along something inexpensive and a sharpie just in case (so I'm not caught at the world buying a $12 autograph book or some such nonsense!).

Is there as much green space as it looks on the map? It looks like if you took the monorail from Epcot to MK there is nothing but roads and trees.

I love to make my own using scrapbooking materials. I like to be fancy though. I do it more for the kids than for me, I think! Anyway, I always find Disney scrapbooks and then make them a page with high quality print paper and character pictures. We slide the pages that we make for each character out, hand it to the character (who signs with sharpie markers), then slide the page back into the scrapbook. When I make each character page, I save a place for the character to sign, and a place for a picture to go, and then I place to describe any interaction, special moments, etc. so that we remember it in the future. This means way more to our kids than just signatures since my one can't read at all and the other is just learning.

Journey into Imagination with Figment
the first one, the best one!




The original attraction opened on March 5, 1983. It began with the omnimover vehicles “floating” in the clouds and seeing the silhouette of a strange [[blimp]] mixed with a vacuum cleaner and hearing the humming and singing of its pilot. In the next scene the riders come right next to this vessel and the pilot, an old man with a red beard dressed in a blue suit and top hat, introduces himself as the Dreamfinder ([[Chuck McCann]]) and saying that he uses his vehicle (called the Dream Mobile or Dream Catcher by some fans) to collect dreams and ideas to create all sorts of new things. Soon he creates a figment of his imagination: "Two tiny wings, eyes big and yellow, horns of a steer, but a loveable fellow! From head to tail, he's royal purple pigment, and there, Voila! You've got a Figment!" (usually thought to be a dragon or winged alligator) named Figment ([[Billy Barty]]). Both of them come up with ideas to fill the "idea bag". When the idea bag is full, Dreamfinder declares that the ideas need to be emptied in the "Dreamport" which, as he says, is "never far away when you use your imagination".

The omnimovers leave the side of the Dream Mobile and enter the Dreamport’s storage room, which includes a massive contraption for sorting ideas. Also in the room there are numerous objects including boxed applause, a plasma ball, and a birdcage of musical notes.

After leaving the storage room, the ride continued through several rooms representing Art, Literature, the Performing Arts and Science.

The Art room was mostly white colored, and had a large painting Dreamfinder was making using a large [[fiber optic]] paint brush, a carousel with giant [[ carousel]] animals, and a pot of rainbows held by Figment.

The Literature room was mostly focused on suspenseful tales and had Dreamfinder playing a massive organ with words coming out of it, words that turned into their meanings, a massive book featuring the raven from [[Edgar Allan Poe]]’s [[The Raven|poem]] cawing menacingly, and books of horrible monsters Figment tried to keep closed.

The Performing Arts had Figment trying on costumes backstage while Dreamfinder conducted a [[laser]] light show in the manner of an orchestra conductor.

The last of the rooms, Science, featured a large machine that Dreamfinder was operating that took a closer look at the workings of nature such as the growth of plants, the formation of crystals from minerals and looking into space.

At the end, Dreamfinder tells Figment and the audience that Imagination is the key to unlocking the hidden wonders of the world. The ride then enter the final show scene. As the rider's pictures are taken, they see Figment surrounded by several movie screens of him being a scientist, a mountain climber, a pirate, a superhero, a tap dancer, a ship captain, a cowboy, and an athlete. Dreamfinder, who is behind a movie camera, gives the riders one last inspiring message and tells them to use their newly found sparks of imagination in the [[ImageWorks (Disney)|ImageWorks]] and the on-ride photo is shown on a screen next to the camera.

The original Journey into Imagination attraction was the creation of Tony Baxter and Steve Kirk.

The ride closed on October 10, 1998 in order to begin a major renovation of the attraction.
