I Love EPCOT Book: Interview with Authors Dapper Danielle & Ian Wilson

from Welcome Home: A Disney Parks & DVC Podcast · host Welcome Home Podcast

On This EpisodeThe guys are thrilled to welcome back author and Disney expert The Dapper Danielle, along with her co-author Ian, to discuss their latest book, I Love EPCOT. Danielle and Ian dive deep into the fascinating history of EPCOT, from its origins as a mishmash of two separate concepts to the evolution of its iconic pavilions. They share surprising stories about the design process, including how the original ticketing structure changed forever because of this park. They share their controversial view about the "correct" way to tour World Showcase—starting with Canada—based on original Imagineering sightlines and training manuals. From the technical history of Figment and his color-changing ways to a rapid-fire round on defunct attractions like Captain EO and Body Wars, the duo offers a masterclass in EPCOT history. They also give a sneak peek into their third book focused on "lost Disney" and explain why some of their favorite EPCOT deep-dives ended up on the cutting room floor. Of course, the guys ask their own silly questions like who would win in a dance battle, Orange Bird or Figment.
