I wish Tomorrowland still looked like this. It was gorgeous. I loved the waterfalls at the entrance and the blue and white color scheme. I hate the rockwork at the entrance now but I admit Avenue of the Planets looks really cool at night. BTW, my first visit to WDW was in 1978.
The Disney Parks have been getting louder (visually speaking) and uglier by the decade. The "new" Tomorrowland at Disneyland is some bizarre Steampunk/clockwork garbage that's nothing but an eyesore. It seems the real "vision" behind the Disney parks died with Walt and his original team.
I loved If You Had Wings as a kid, even though I realized it was just a big commercial for Eastern. Disney parks have always had sponsers, but in this case it seemed like too much of an ad, IMO. At least Dream Flight went into the history and future of air travel. I think Dream Flight was like a mini Epcot pavilion.
That "emergency" part of the Flight to the Moon where the bird crashes into the ground, that clip is actually on the monitors in the mission space control area (the part that faces the queue).
I'm 16 years old and I despise the teen shows on Disney XD, and I definitely don't like Disney Junior. I love learning about the history of Disneyland and WDW and I definitely love seeing how much the parks have changed. :) So does my 11 year old brother, he and I spend a lot of time watching old videos like these. I honestly wish some of the attractions were here now, but it's progress. ^^
idk if you know this but from 26:18 - 26:29 was act four from the Disneyland version of Carousel Of Progress. Wonderful 3 part video... i watch them every month.... wonderful job!
Blame it on General Electric for wanting potential customers to buy there products Now ! Not until a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow ! Personally There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow is my favorite. But The Best Time of Your Life is also good.
So great to relive those memories of these classic attractions! Also a great inside view of how things were created and operated. I got a chance to explore these attractions inside and out for the last 10 years, being a Tomorrowland manager and a lot of this was new to me! Thank you!
Not a cell phone around..people were actually talking to each other, and looking around...AMAZING! I've actually seen people texting during rides these days "sigh"
Wow, I didn't know Space Mountain was concieved as an eight- then four-track ride! (The capacity would've been amazing.) ....... I'm surprised Flight to the Moon and CircleVision couldn't open right away since they both already debuted @ Disneyland in 1967. ........ Very interesting about the PeopleMover track being partially built at the outset. I've heard several times that the same thing was done at Epcot (in Communicore) in anticipation of a PeopleMover being added there. Epcot could use one
Do you have any footage of "Magic Carpets of the World"? Its my dads favorite. It was a 360 movie as you enter tomorrowland on the right. Was there in the 80s.
I love this but I think most people might prefer actual narration rather than having to read through the whole thing. I wanted to look at the cool, rare footage but felt distracted by having to stop and read.
+Eric Malone Very few documentaries use text to tell their stories. Narration and audio go much better with visuals. Having two things to look at, text and visuals, is just like having a split screen where your attention is divided between two different things. Audio does not disrupt visual input as much as a competing visual.
Thank you for making and posting this video. It has so many of the old things I've missed from my first trip to WDW in 1977. I miss the Tomorrowland entry fountains as well. Not sure where or how you got some of this footage, but excellent job.
Wow, this is an amazing video! , I am 64 years old and now I can see many sounds in images from my trip when I was 17 years old, been able to watch this films of attraction at the moment has brought me many memories back. Thank you very much for doing this video!

I totally agree. had to comment because 1978 was the first time I was there too.
I miss the waterfalls. The rocks they have now are stupid! Thanks as always for the great videos!
this is awesome! Tomorrowland is my favorite land and seeing the vintage images here is primo

I tried filming "Carousel of Progress" last time I was at Disney. They shut down the ride and yelled at me.

Just got back from Disney yesterday. Thoroughly enjoyed this.

Hah Old RCA videodisc prototype with a metalized disc at 55:49

I am SOO glad that I got to see WDW then - 1st visit 1973 - age 10
Disney College Program Alumni. Going back again this summer for a second program. My first program I was a cast member in Tomorrow Land. Loved it!

I have been looking for something like this for YEARS! Even the old "Now is the Time" at COP. Fantastic!
I like that if you have wings segment!
haghaa...the dorky lady at 50:00..."Hurry...! Last one in SPACE is a rotten asteroid!!" as she pees herself in the queue.
Do you have any footage of "Magic Carpets of the World"? Its my dads favorite. It was a 360 movie as you enter tomorrowland on the right. Was there in the 80s.
"Mommy, what's 'RCA'?"
LOL, at 5:16 I know there was a gas crisis in the 70's, but wow I didn't think it would affect cars at the Tomorrowland Speedway too!
LOL
I love this but I think most people might prefer actual narration rather than having to read through the whole thing. I wanted to look at the cool, rare footage but felt distracted by having to stop and read.
+oneironaut420 all of his videos are like this
+oneironaut420 How true.... His videos are by far the best, but if they were narrated instead of captioned they would be Incredible!!!
+oneironaut420 I'd have to disagree, honestly. Voiced narration would take away from the videos.
+Eric Malone Very few documentaries use text to tell their stories. Narration and audio go much better with visuals.

Fair enough. I'd enjoy doing voice over for these videos, but something tells me Martin probably would prefer to do it himself.
I totally forgot about the "If you had wings" ride. LOL
lol
Should do a history on Disneyland's Tomorrowland.
Now Is The Best Time isn't as good as Great Big Beautiful Tommorrow...
Thank you for making and posting this video. It has so many of the old things I've missed from my first trip to WDW in 1977. I miss the Tomorrowland entry fountains as well. Not sure where or how you got some of this footage, but excellent job.
The 1970s and 1980s was the Golden Era of Disney World and thats coming from a 15 year old boy who's watched half of these videos
1:46 The southern side is actually now going to include a TRON attraction based off the one in Shanghai Disneyland.
What is the song at the beginning?
just a beat
I love it. So disco.
Disneyland is your Land
Can't read that fast. . Love all the videos but some of them the narrative words go by way to fast.
you got me fucked up if you think imma sit here and read a video for an hour
You are using Epcot music in a magic kingdom video? Wake up
Wow, this is an amazing video! , I am 64 years old and now I can see many sounds in images from my trip when I was 17 years old, been able to watch this films of attraction at the moment has brought me many memories back. Thank you very much for doing this video!
I'm 62 and my first trip was 1977, about 15. :) It's fun, and nice, to see and hear it as it was my first trip.
I'm only 15 and I find this amazing. :)
Oh, and what's the song at 8:53?
Can someone give me the link to this song?
Very annoying sound track.
Cant wait for parts 2/3
Flight 92 to the moon... eerily reminiscent of the Kegworth air accident ✈️
Love the COP footage. Still looking to see the original ending from disneyland .
13 and i didn't know old and cool Disney things had an age limit.
What's the music at around 5:50 and where can I get it?
You should make a video about the utilidors!
Is it just me, or does If You Had Wings seem like something that would fit in well at Epcot?
lost its sponsors.
Dog Names
1st-Rover
2nd-Sweetie
3rd-Sports
4th-Sport
2nd is Queenie not Sweetie.
And thanks for this great video
7:22 Oh look it's Disney Channel before it became the shit-hole it is today!
“Welcome to America the Beautiful... sponsored by Monsanto” 😂
THIS is Monsanto
“October 1st, 1971 Tomorrowland opens...with two attractions”
Enterprise alarm 😂
Space Trip sounds like a Star Trek parody
This is amazing!!! Thanks!
What's the music playing at the very beginning?
not a song.
at 41:48 how meta
uggghh Monsanto sponsored America The Beautiful?? Surprised they didnt suggest the title to be "America the Genetically Modified"
