Meet Imagineer Tom Morris and actor Steve Taylor at The Disney Project’s ‘Day of Imagination’ fan event

Day of Imagination
Relive the history of Epcot’s Journey Into Imagination at The Disney Project’s ‘Day of Imagination’ fan event.

EPCOT Center’s original Journey Into Imagination pavilion still holds fond memories for many Walt Disney World fans, and they can meet two of the men who brought it to life on Oct. 28 during The Disney Project’s “Day of Imagination” fan event at the Wyndham Lake Buena Vista near Disney Springs.

Tom Morris’s first Imagineering assignment was the original Journey into Imagination attraction in EPCOT Center. Later, Tom was put in charge of all of Fantasyland for Disneyland Paris, worked on Cars Land in Disney California Adventure, and served as Executive Creative Show Producer for Hong Kong Disneyland before his recent retirement. Steve Taylor was in Walt Disney World’s America on Parade from 1975-1976 before becoming EPCOT Center’s longest-running Dreamfinder, performing the role from January 1983 until September 1998. Morris and Taylor will join event host Keith Gluck for an afternoon of Disney history, rare and never-before seen photos, and first-hand accounts of life in yesterday’s Future World.
