Walt Disney Productions' EPCOT Center Souvenir Program (1983)

This promotional film was released in 1983 for the brand new home video rental market. EPCOT CENTER had just opened and this video captures what it was like at the time. Many of these places and attractions no longer exist. There’s also a segment that shows EPCOT Center under construction as it was being built. This is a historic time capsule of what Walt Disney World was like before the Eisner regime took over and Walt’s family was still running it. It was just a mom and pop theme park and not what we think of as Disney today. The purpose of this video was to show families all that EPCOT Center had to offer so they’d want to plan a family vacation there or to take home as a keepsake of their trip there.

The narrator is Philip L Clarke who later became the voice of Vault Disney on The Disney Channel.

Original release date September 1983
