Notes on the audio after the Tomorrowland loop

• as Carlene and I begin to talk about the entrance to Tomorrowland she mentions a movie about some scientists that get shrunk down and inserted into a human body, I call it Fantastic Journey, but I belive the title was actually Fantastic Voyage
• as we wander several songs from the Main Street music loop play
1. Beautiful Beulah
2. I could Love A Million girls
3. Yankee Doodle Dandy
4. Winter Garden Rag
5. and after the bathroom break Wells Fargo Wagon
• also when we are at the windows to the Emporium you can hear a little bit of When You wish Upon a Star
• Shortly after that Carlene asks if the CM she sent to give me information was helpful, what she is refering to is from when I was recording the Tomorrowland loop she went to ask a CM if there was a better place to record than where I was, he did let me know that the upper queue area for Space Mountain also had speakers but with all the folks in line up there I doubt that there was any less crowd noise. I was actually in the Cosmic Waves fountain area.
• When we reach the Esplanade several songs from that loop play
1. the last few notes of the Fantasmic Finale
2. Soarin'
3. Be Our Guest (carousel version)
4. Davy Crockett

WDW Tomorrowland postcards

About half of the following is simply taken from the postcard side of my web site, but it does condense all the Tomorrowland information onto one page.

The four cards above are the only strictly Tomorrowland views issued in standard size, and the last one was also later re-issued in Continental size, in fact that image was sold on postcards for over 20 years. one of the earliest 5 x 7 cartoon cards was also issued with a Tomorrowland view (below).

0100-11908 MOTOR MANIA

When the change over to continental sized postcards was made there were only four views that included Tomorrowland, two of those were repeated from the group above, the cartoon card (Motor Mania), and the interior shot of the Space Mountain rockets (OUTER SPACE RIGHT HERE IN FLORIDA), and both of the other two shared the same image, an identical view of the rocket jets, used on one card as a stand-alone image and on another card as part of a four-view.

In 1994 Tomorrowland at the Magic Kingdom recieved a major makeover, and in response to that it got it's first new postcard in a long time.

It's actualy a beautiful card and "The Future that Never Was is Here" slogan really fit the new theme of the land. In 1997 a whole new series of postcards was issued, one of the cards was of Tomorrowland

The next card is one of the most beautiful of the Tomorrowland cards, but it could have been sort of unappreciated because it was tucked away in one of the postcard Folio sets sold from 1999 and on into the first few years of the 2000's.

I'm not sure of the exact release date of this next card but I suspect it was around 2002-03.

After stitches Great Escape opened a few new cards featuring that attraction opened the first being the foil with the " Alien Writing " and the phrase I'LL GIVE YOU A STITCH OR TWO on the front, the more recent card has Stich biting into a big Green and Blue fold of something.

In 2006 a new set of accordian folders came out including one for the Magic Kingdom, the folder had two views of tomorrowland, but ironically both were taken from outside the park.

The contemporary Connection

Of course aerial views of the Magic Kingdom tend to show Tomorrowland as well, but other than that one view in the earlist Tomorrowland cards above it's not really focused on Tomorrowland, but on several views of the Contemporary resort Hotel over the years the proximity of Space Mountain to that hotel was played up nicely

for a time the card above probably served as a room card given to guests of the Contemporary, while all three cards below are from an acordian style perforated strip of poscards sold starting in 1989.

Later in the 1990s this newer room card was issued

Ok so there were more Tomorrowland postcards than I thought but, if you don't count cards of the Contemporary Resort Hotel then it did take them over 25 years to get to ten different Tomorrowland views.
