the car , the Mickey beach towel , or maybe a Betamax of a Disney classic ? It ’ s a ticket to Discovery Island on Bay Lake ( where guests will continue to view a variety of animals until they are relocated to Animal Kingdom in 1999 ).
Bingo . You ’ ll spend tomorrow on Discovery Island with this ticket . With your plans for tomorrow set , it ’ s time to explore Future World today .
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 & Figment share space in the signature glass pyramids .
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 .
Don ’ t forget to meet and get a picture with Figment and his creator , Dreamfinder . ( See Page 14 for more on Dreamfinder .)
Disney fans love the Phoenicians , and they ’ re part of this ride that has stayed pretty much the same across decades .
Can you imagine meeting and getting a picture with Dreamfinder and Figment ?
