Main Topic
- For this month, we take you back to Epcot Center. It's been awhile
since our last stop in Future World, so we thought it was time to
discuss The Living Seas. We learn about some of the early origins and
history of the sponsorship. The pre-show is discussed along with the
famous Hydrolators. Throughout the show, we discuss what has changed and
what has stuck around in the new version of the attraction. Finally, we
look all around the exhibits and attractions after you exit your
Seacab.  Hope you enjoy the trip back to Seabase Alpha!
The RetroWDW Event
- November 19-20, D23 will be hosting an event at Walt Disney World.
Our posse is planning an event that weekend where you can interact with
us, look at some vintage WDW artifacts, host a guest and even record a
live podcast. This is all in the planning stages and we will be ironing
out the details over the coming months. Stay tuned for more info and
