Hello there, this is the Dream Fighter, your unemployed host of the old journey into imagination.

If you have any work, please get back to me. But in the meantime, you're listening to WDW Radio.

WW Radio. Your information.

Hello my friend and welcome to the WDW Radio Show, your Walt Disney World Information Station.

I am your host, Lou Manjello and this is show number 665 and together we're going to celebrate the magic of the Disney Parks, movies and more.

Here on the podcast my weekly live video on Facebook every Wednesday night, community, blog and more, please be sure to subscribe to the podcast and find everything else at www.wdwo.com.

So former Walt Disney Imaginary creative Tom K. Morris joins me again this week to share stories about the design, development and creation of the original journey into imagination, including what and who was almost included in the attraction.

I'll then have our Disney trivia question of the week and more updates at the end of the show. So sit back, relax and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.

When we last left Tom Morris back on show 661, he had just finished sharing his origin story and tales of Disneyland working at a measuring, which I guess was still wet back in 1979.

Epcot's World of Motion, Tony Baxter, Splash Mountain and its upcoming re-themed and much more.

But we ran out of time, especially because I wanted to give this next project he worked on, it's very much due, so I want to first welcome back Tom K. Morris to the show.

Thank you, Lou. It's great to be back.

It is great to have you back and it's funny when we were just finishing up last time just because of time you started to mention the three words I couldn't wait to get to, which was of course, journey into imagination.

And I said, no, no, we can't go down this. I know you have limited time. I want to make sure we give this project and probably the many questions that I'm going to have it's due.

So let's go into the way back machine back to, I guess probably summer of 1979 when Kodak, who was the official camera company, film company of Walt Disney World, comes in with this idea to create, I guess really more than just a single attraction, but an overall pavilion.

Talk to me about your assignment into journey into imagination, how it came to be and what your initial role was.

Sure. Well, first of all, I'm unsure of the precise timeline. I don't, it may have started before summer, 79, and I'll know the answer to that question.

As soon as I get to a layer of my collection that I've been going through that's got those memos, but I also recently discovered that it was something I think that they were talking about a year earlier, it had the term images and imagination

that popped up, in fact, that was the initial name of the pavilion when I started, and then I found some information that had it placed on a master plan back in 1978.
