Here’s “A Day At EPCOT Center” which was probably released around the late 1980’s because it shows Horizons and Wonders of Life which were later additions to the park.
It walks you through a “day at EPCOT Center” starting at Spaceship Earth, going through Communicore (and showing the “futuristic” costumes of Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and others) with their newfangled computer technology, then out to The Living Seas and Seabase Alpha.
It ventures on to The Land, back when Symbiosis was playing, Listen to The Land with it’s on-boat narration was the main attraction, and Kitchen Kabaret stood where Soarin’ is now. Next up is Journey Into Imagination with the original (and best) ride, and ImageWorks with the Rainbow Corridor. The World of Motion is next with it’s adjoining Transcenter.
At this time, Horizons is open and the footage is great and even shows some of the “choose your own future” ending. Next up is the Wonders of Life pavilion back when it actually had full attendance. It mentions The Making of Me which is rare for publicized glimpses into Wonders of Life. It’s actually the first thing mentioned.
The Universe of Energy is next, pre-Ellen and Bill Nye but still with dinosaurs. So still awesome.
They show Surprise in the Skies, an air/water show on the World Showcase Lagoon.
Then, you work your way starting with Canada, onto the UK (with a very large inflatable Robin Hood which looks…questionable), then France, Morocco (which was one of the newer pavilions added after the park opened), Japan, Italy, Germany, skipping over to China, then Norway (which was also added post-opening) which has Maelstrom with brand new audio-animatronics and only Norway related stuff in the gift shops instead of primarily just Frozen like it is now, and on to Mexico with the El Rio De Tiempo boat ride. There is also a lot of the footage of the live entertainment spread throughout the World Showcase and the omnibus that used to drive people around the showcase. The American Adventure is the last pavilion to be shown, featuring the early version of The Voices of Liberty, back when they were called the Liberty Singers and wore differing costumes ranging from the pilgrims to post-colonial.
To end the program, the original IllumiNations with it’s heavily synthesized score and lasers (so 80’s, you guys. I can just feel the 80’s).
