I think the aspect in which MGM Studios was "better" is hidden in it having unexpected property tie-ins a Disney fan wouldn't expect. Disney should expand this variety, especially old properties. From Gertie to Twilight Zone to Golden Age films, they round out the park so well!

"Well, maybe people will get used to saying that." - Walt Disney 😂
Interestingly enough, the 1953 aerial says “World of Tomorrow” & not Tomorrowland at all. It’s likely Herb Ryman was misremembering the timeline for this story, but these are his words from an interview in 1986.

IMO the only thing interesting about this game was the epic photo of Cinderella Castle they used for the cover, which was actually shot nearly a decade beforehand in 1981 for Walt Disney World's Tencennial celebration.

This is just the tip of the obscure Disney history iceberg when it comes to the amount of rare concept art, photos, & stories the imagineers shared recently at Wayback WED.
If you’ve heard all the “usual” stories before, I guarantee this one has more than a few new gems!

They actually had a completely original BGM recorded for Port Discovery but it was lost in the shuffle when Tokyo Disneysea’s first music director was (very) wrongfully “let go”.

In the season that followed the loss of Walt Disney, the Imagineers at WED had to continue creating without their creative leader. They couldn’t pause progress to grieve, so they funneled it into their work…

Valuing unity and choosing to lean toward each other rather than inciting division is such a powerful lesson we can take from Epcot.
So happy to have met some of my biggest heroes this weekend at @WDWNT’s WaybackWED event including becoming fast friends with Tim Delaney, finally getting to fawn over @PeggieFariss and express my enormous gratitude to Don Dorsey for creating Reflections of Earth. 😊
