Once Walt passed away, the plans changed, and only the Magic Kingdom was built. Eventually, EPCOT was constructed, but it became an international village rather than a Utopian City.Davelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10720475138513029144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-85184745510709500042008-09-10T11:28:00.000-07:002008-09-10T11:28:00.000-07:00Did not all this lead to Walt Disney World in flor...Did not all this lead to Walt Disney World in florida?

Thank you for the wonderful memories, Dave!<BR/><BR/>Again, Progress City was also altered in the move to Florida. It is now lit with black lighting instead of the realistic lighting it once had. Also, I saw Tony Baxter speak at a convention in 1997/1998 about the past versions of Tomorrowland and about the then upcoming "new" Tomorrowland of 1998. When asked if Progress City was moved to Florida with the rest of the attraction in the 70's, he had to ask another imagineer that was there if it made the "cut" in the last redo of Florida's Tomorrowland (I guess he didn't know himself) and that person said that it was still there and that it did get moved to Florida with the rest of the attraction, but that it was now only a fraction in size of what it was at Disneyland....they chopped pieces of it out when they moved it.
