I was debating posting this and only in late 2022 found out someone already had. I bought this tape (later on CD) at the Pirates of the C. gift shop in the Magic Kingdom as a kid and all these years later Bliss Abyss and Waterfalls in One Direction (I hope I got that right typing this fast) .. Track 2 basically .. those two and the way they blend together is still two of my favorite tracks/songs of all time. It reminds me of "better times" and even once when everyone left mid-day for diner and my family and I was just coming back (for the exact idea of what happened) ... we weren't there at the hottest and most crowded part of the day and somehow it felt like we had Epcot to ourselves ... what memories. There are two other tracks that reminds me of that . kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5nKm6Sna7RpjLM Beyond the Waterfall by Paul Spears and Ray Lynch's Celestial Soda Pop kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4rXgIqbdrCHotE ....both playing around the Wonders of Life area I miss classic Epcot

We're kindred spirits. We'd purchased the CD at the shop near Pirates. I remember listening to the album on a hammock at the Polynesian Resort many times. Frankly, much of the music around Tomorrowland (where you'll find your Beyond the Waterfall) and Future World at Epcot had similar sounds, all great. Better times at TWDC in my opinion, when quality seemed to trump profit margins, even if only in the guest's eyes.

I noticed in your playlist you had "Last Flamenco". If you haven't already and get the chance, check out Acoustic Alchemy live. I've seen them a few times. They tour the U.S. almost annually and their setlists often contain many older popular tracks, such as Jamaican Heartbeat.

I know that feeling. I’ve been trying to figure out the missing tracks to the 1988 resort information channel video I uploaded. The tracks all seem to be from “Network Music Ensemble” (artist) and I’ve figured out most and made a Spotify playlist with them. It’s almost euphoric when you finally find one!

The architects son I knew somewhat . While discussing potential projects I should be slapped for not going through with he conveyed how disgusted he was at the renovations...that his father's work had been disrespected and outright demolitioned .Everything ...the music the art the vibe the SOCIAL energy ,even the aromas are gone . To add insult to injury they even remove the koi fish, tear out the architects epic Tangeroa Terrace and the Neverland club ,coral isle cafe ( look it up if it's even on the internet and Disney didn't remove it so as to not look more stupid )..),the shops, and the cute convention center. This place should be shut down and taken over by owners that respect the architects work and respect their guests ,they could care less about anything other than their primary stockholders .I have never seen uglier renovations and worse change of STAFF. They get 100s of millions to renovate and destroy and jack the rates up 4x while the service gets worse and worse . The staff here have no sincerity and authenticity .

Absolutely! Disney leaderships greed under Iger and "Paycheck Chapek" destroyed this once unique place and turned it into a generic "Honolulu Hilton". Whoever experienced the moment of entry into this place in the original layout, will never forget it. The waterfalls, the plants, the atmosphere. I will never forget it. And now they also destroyed the rooms, the main pool area and the beach as well, by building a severely downwatered version of the Polynesian highrise that had been planned in the late 1960ies, before they changed to the longhouse layout.
