Horizons ride-through - Part 1 (show #4)
  In this installment of Dave's Disney View, join me as I ride-through the attraction and narrate what you're seeing. Its a virtual journey into Horizons. Its kind of like being back in the attraction. All that's missing is the smell of oranges (but hey, you can peel an orange and feel right at home!)

An overview of the pavillion that was "Horizons" in EPCOT (Show #3)

You can read more about it on a post I made some years ago Gone But Not Forgotten: Horizons (http://mydisneyworldblog.blogspot.com/2007/05/gone-but-not-forgotten-horizons.html)

 In this episode I explore the origins of "I'm going to Disney World!"...which - believe it or not - was first uttered by Dick Rutan after he successfully circumnavigated the globe. Judy Eisner asked him at a dinner what he was going to do next, and he uttered the catch phrase. In the podcast, I incorrectly attribute the phrase to his brother, Bert. Bert helped design the craft and is an amazin...
