Hello everyone, welcome to photo memories #8. In this edition I am featuring images from the early years of Walt Disney World’s nighttime entertainment district Pleasure Island.

You can notice changes to the outside of the island in these first two photos. The left image was taken around 1990 and the right was from this past year. Note the worn looking warehouse paint job on the older shot and the growth of the tree and upgrade to the bridge in the current photo.

The above were restaurants from Pleasure Island’s opening years. Merriweather’s Market was a food court that operated from 1989-1993 and was where Raglan Road stands today. The Fireworks Factory was a pyrotechnics themed restaurant (a favorite of mine) that operated from 1989-1997 and is where Motion dance club is currently.

Jessica’s of Hollywood and the XZFR Rockin’ Rollerdrome were both very short lived.

The Grand Funmeister was your original host of Pleasure Island (as seen on the West End Stage). The Comedy Warehouse originally featured a parody show called “Forbidden Disney” (which will be featured in it’s entirety on my upcoming Pleasure Island Classics DVD).

As stated above I am currently working on a new DVD title featuring the Original Pleasure Island shows and performances. It will include the entire original New Years Eve countdown show and fireworks, The rarely seen “Forbidden Disney” show from the Comedy Warehouse, scenes from around the Island & the original nightclubs, various Adventurers Club Library shows and skits from it’s early years and more. If anyone has any suggestions on this new title please send them to the email address below.

As always, if you want to request a future DVD idea, Photo Memory topic or comment on anything, just drop me a line at suggestions@JeffLangeDVD.com.

Windsor, Conn. (March 11th, 2007) -Today, JeffLangeDVD have
released the first title in a new series, Jeff Lange’s Companion
Collection: Epcot’s Spaceship Earth.

This ‘Jeff Lange’s Companion Collection’ DVD was originally produced for
my personal collection to archive additional footage not used in the
production of the primary title.

These DVDs are being made available after receiving requests to release
additional footage for the hard core enthusiast or completest. The
footage contained on this disc did not qualify for inclusion on the
primary title.

It is my hope that this companion DVD will enhance the experience
already presented on

Edition.

The following is contained on this edition:

Spaceship Earth Narrated by Walter Cronkite (1991)

Spaceship Earth Narrated by Walter Cronkite (1992)

Spaceship Earth Narrated by Jeremy Irons (1995)

Photo Slideshow (1989-1997) Over 100 images.

companion collection disc today and relive the magic or experience it
for the first time.

Welcom back everyone. If you remember back to the
Photo Memory #3 entry, I was made aware of a
long thread on the WDW Magic forums discussing a satellite featured in the
original version of
Epcot’s Spaceship Earth. The discussion has grown to almost 600 posts and
while looking for additional images for my new
Companion Collection series, I came across some additional photos of the
elusive satellite seen below.

The view below of the Spaceship Earth spaceman looks very similar to
this spaceman currently featured on the speedramp at the exit of Space
Mountain. Could this be one and the same?

I am currently working on my next release. I’ll provide a few photo
hints below on the subject. I don’t think it will be very difficult to
figure out what the title will feature.

Once again, if anyone wants to request a future DVD idea, Photo Memory
topic or comment on anything, just drop me a line at
suggestions@JeffLangeDVD.com.
