In this episode we're very happy to welcome Bob Gibbons to the Town Hall. Bob had a long and illustrious career at Kodak, where he worked as one of their liaisons to Disney when Imagineers were creating the Journey into Imagination pavilion for EPCOT Center. Bob worked closely with Tony Baxter and the WED team, and his stories of the process are sure to inform and entertain! Let's head back to the Dreamport - it's the Progress City Radio Hour!
In this episode of the Radio Hour, we take a look at some past corporate sponsorships and how they've made a mark on the Disney experience over the years. We see how EPCOT Center's sponsor megadeals changed the park-going experience forever, and how Walt's star artists made some iconic television commercials in the 1950s. After examining how travel companies made their mark with Disney, we'll explore some beloved (or not) park corporate food alliances of the past. We'll be back after these important messages, it's the Progress City Radio Hour!
We return to our Town Hall for a chat with artist and Imagineer extraordinaire, Tim Kirk. Tim joins us to talk about his early Tolkien illustration work and his contributions to EPCOT classics such as Kitchen Kabaret, the Disney-MGM Studios and The Great Movie Ride, Sunset Boulevard and the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, and much, much more. Time to take a Head Trip - it's the Progress City Radio Hour!
Aloha! The Radio Hour is back with a look at some of Disney's brushes with the cultures of the south seas. We'll look at Walt's voyages to Hawaii, the creation of his Enchanted Tiki Room, and the many delights of the Tahitian Terrace. Come closer so you may see what magic there is in fantasy, it's the Progress City Radio Hour!
For our 75th episode we again turn the clock back fifty years to visit Walt Disney World in 1975. It's a time of much activity at the resort, so we look at the state of EPCOT planning back then, take a visit to the new Lake Buena Vista Marketplace, and spend a day experiencing the best of what Walt Disney World had to offer fifty long years ago! Cash those travelers' checks and we'll meet you at the Chummery, it's the Progress City Radio Hour!
