THANK A PHOENICIAN With all this excitement , you ’ re itching to take a ride . Since it ’ s towering above your head , a trip into Spaceship Earth just makes the most sense . The ride shows the history of communications from the Phoenicians to today ’ s super high-tech new satellite technology .
Once you ’ ve emerged from the geodesic sphere , it ’ s decision time . To the left are dinosaurs ; to the right is singing food . You ’ re saving World Showcase for another trip because , as the map says , EPCOT Center is “ more than twice the size of Magic Kingdom ” and is “ really two unique worlds in one .” One world a day will save your feet .
MICHAEL JACKSON AND A PURPLE DINOSAUR You make a beeline to the newest attraction , Captain EO , over in the Magic Eye Theater . This 3D musical space adventure features Michael Jackson and is presented by George Lucas . Yep , that George Lucas .
Afterward , you moonwalk your way over to see Figment , the purple dragon , on the Journey Into Imagination ride .
Then it ’ s time to use all that imagination in ImageWorks . You play instruments by waving your hand , wander through the neon rainbow corridor , and pop outside to splash around in Jelly Fish Fountain .
Disney fans love the Phoenicians , and they ’ re part of this ride that has stayed pretty much the same across decades .
Don ’ t forget to meet and get a picture with Figment and his creator , Dreamfinder . ( See Page 10 for more on Dreamfinder .)
Can you imagine meeting and getting a picture with Dreamfinder and Figment ?
SHOPPING AND SMRT-1 IN COMMUNICORE EAST Little purple Figment remains in your imagination as you head to the Centorium shop in CommuniCore East . You find a plush Figment in his signature yellow shirt , and then you ’ re off to share your opinions in the Electronic Forum .
Michael Jackson and Figment share space in the signature glass pyramids .
CommuniCore is also home to the Energy Exchange
