Welcome back everyone. I have so much to report from this past week in
Florida that I will break it into 2 parts. Please check back later this
week for part two.
The trip started out with the NFFC Florida
Convention. It was another great event and I had a wonderful time
attending the seminars and meeting many of you! The first day of the
convention was held at
Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort. This was a big step for the NFFC
as it was the first time it was actually being on Disney property! The
day featured many interesting speakers including Virginia Davis
of Disney’s early Alice Comedies fame, The traditional NFFC lunch
with a Legend Honoring Bob Matheison and Bill Sullivan,
Florida favorites Terri Hardin (below) and Jim Korkis.
Day two was amazing as the seminars were held at
Epcot Center in the former United Technologies lounge inside the Living
Seas Pavilion! I applaud the NFFC for this move and hope to
see them utilizing these type of venues for future conventions!
The seminars themselves were very interesting and mostly geared toward
Epcot’s 25th Anniversary being celebrated Oct 1st. Speakers included
Charlie Ridgway, Dave Smith (below left), Howard Kalov
, Dara Trujillo and the always fascinating Marty Sklar
(below right)!
Saturday featured the NFFC Disneyana Show and Sale. This was a
huge event featuring many vintage props and ride vehicles on display
from the event sponsor Surplus Kingdom. I will be featuring these
vintage items in a upcoming edition of my Photo Memories series.
The next big event was the
NFFC World Chapter meeting held Sunday night on the eve of
Epcot’s 25th Anniversary. It was one of the best chapter meetings I have
attended and really got you in the mood to celebrate Epcot’s Anniversary
the next day!. The featured speakers were none other than the original
strolling Dreamfinder (and friend of this site)
Ron Schneider and the final Dreamfinder Steve Taylor. The highlight
of the night came when Steve was giving his part of their talk and Ron
approached the stage with an actual Figment! This was a surprise to
everyone and put a magical tough on a great evening!
Please check back soon for part two featuring coverage of Epcot’s big
25th Anniversary Celebration and the changes to this years
Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party.
Production Update: I am currently in production on my 2007
Edition of the Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party DVD (Trick or
Treat 4) for a release later this week then I will start work on my
Epcot’s 25th Anniversary Celebration DVD featuring the re dedication shot
from the front row, a great multi camera recording of Illuminations:
Reflections of Earth, the incredible Epcot’s 25th Anniversary
fireworks finale plus the Epcot Center historic display and much
more! Please check back soon for release information and more details.

6 September 2007
Jeff Lange Remembers Fantasyland Classics Special Collectors Editions Released Today.
Disneyana fans already know that JeffLangeDVD’s series of theme park DVDs offer a high quality look back at memorable Disney events and attractions. But the special collector’s editions of Lange’s best selling release ‘Fantasyland Classics’ is sure to be something special.
How so? Well, how many of us after we’ve made a trip to a Disney theme park have wished that we were able to take home a chunk of our favorite attraction? Now, with JeffLangeDVD, you can!
Mr. Lange, has procured Seaweed from the ‘20,000 Leagues Under the Sea ‘ lagoon and Bumpers from actual ‘Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride‘ vehicles.
 
The 20,000 Leagues lagoon seaweed and Mr. Toad’s Blue bumper have been cut into 100 pieces each and will be included ONLY in the 100 Collector’s Edition ‘Fantasyland Classics’ DVDs (featuring a matching Green or Blue cover) being sold now.
 
To complete the package, Jeff’s including a 4×6 color photograph (shown below & suitable for framing) of a genuine 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Submarine or a “Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride“ Car
with each DVD, making this disc something that any 20,000 leagues or Mr.Toad fan would love to own.
 
There are only 100 copies of each special Collector’s Edition of “Jeff Lange Remembers Fantasyland Classics“. And when these discs are gone… They’re gone. So be the first and maybe the only one on your block to own a piece of the 20,000 Leagues or Mr. Toad legacy!
Jeff Lange Remembers Fantasyland Classics:
Join Jeff Lange on a trip back to Walt Disney World circa 1991 When it was still possible to take a wild ride with Mr. Toad, join Captain Nemo on a voyage aboard the Nautilus, be startled by the Wicked Witch or soar high above the Magic Kingdom aboard the Skyway.
You start your journey with a photo tour of Fantasyland featuring the Skyway and Mr. Toad interiors. Then it’s off for a wild ride on both tracks of the classic Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride attraction.
After you recover from your ride, we join Captain Nemo for a voyage that will take us 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. You experience the anticipation before boarding the Nautilus with full coverage of the exteriors and queue before enjoying a complete ride thru. Upon surfacing you view a photo tour of the attraction featuring never before seen images of the final resting place of the subs.
Next, we’re off to experience the original Snow White’s Scary Adventure. Remember to beware of the Wicked Witch. Then we board Pirate galleons on the classic Peter Pan’s Flight. Following our
flight we take a photo tour of the attractions before setting sail on the Happiest Cruise That Ever Sailed… It’s a Small World.

Hello everyone and welcome back for another Photo Memories
update. As we are about a month away from
Epcot’s 25th Anniversary, I have decided to feature some vintage
pre-opening photos. On October 1, 1979
Epcot Center had it’s official groundbreaking and begun construction. As
the official Oct 1st 1982 Grand Opening approached, a free Epcot Center
Monorail Preview was offered to Florida residents and
Walt Disney World resort guests.
My family was staying at the
Polynesian Village Resort and were notified upon check-in about this
complimentary preview. We acquired our tickets at the Magic Kingdom (in
the Epcot Center Preview Center located where the Walt Disney Story was
usually shown). I remember boarding a monorail at the Ticket and
Transportation Center and circling
World Showcase for the first time. I was amazed by what I saw next!
It was truly awesome to see the huge
Epcot Center layout and the massive construction going on as we slowly
glided to our destination, the Epcot Monorail Station. We were then able
to disembark the train and view displays and concept art of this
exciting and inspiring new type of theme park! Disney cast members where
stationed on the platform answering questions and explaining what the
park would be like when it opened! We were also allowed to take photos
from the platform of the finishing touches being made to
Future World.
The shot above shows
Spaceship Earth before the installation of the mirrors on the base. Also
note in the foreground the entrance fountain can be seen without the
Epcot logo acrylic centerpiece.
My entire family was very excited by this sneak peek and we would return
later that year soon after
Epcot Center opened on October 1st, 1982! The Opening Day Dedication was
as follows:
"To all who come to this place of joy, hope and friendship, welcome."
"Epcot Center is inspired by Walt Disney’s creative genius. Here, human
achievements are celebrated through imagination, the wonders of
enterprise, and concepts of a future that promises new and exciting
benefits for all."
"May Epcot Center entertain, inform and inspire. And, above all, may it
instill a new sense of belief and pride in man’s ability to shape a
world that offers hope to people everywhere."’
E. Cardon Walker
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Walt Disney Productions
Oct. 24, 1982
I look forward to being there again twenty five years later as part of ‘
The Epcot Thing‘ 25th Anniversary fan event! I will have much more
information on this great event plus announce some special guests in the

JeffLangeDVD Travel Update: I am once again traveling to
Walt Disney World this week to record video footage for future projects
and assist in the final planning of the ‘
Epcot Thing‘ event. As always, while I am traveling you will still receive
