Progress City on Instagram

Rocket into Christmas with our special festive holiday spectacular featuring author/historians Steven Vagnini and Foxx Nolte! And we're giving away a copy of the new Disney A to Z! Jingle those bells! http://podcast.progresscityusa.com

Sad news today, as we have been told that former head of Walt Disney Attractions, Dick Nunis, has passed away at the age of 91.

One hundred years ago yesterday, the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio was founded in Los Angeles. What began under extremely humble circumstances eventually flourished, creating a cultural juggernaut which dominates the media landscape today.

Let’s return to EPCOT Center for a patriotic extravaganza like no other! Join us for a look at the creation of the groundbreaking attraction The American Adventure, and the history of Americana-themed spectacles that preceded it in the 19th and 20th centuries. Then take your seat for a history of the beloved singing group Voices of Liberty! Grab those rose-colored bifocals and spare a dime – it’s the Progress City Radio Hour!

Our 40th anniversary retrospective of EPCOT Center gathers one little spark of inspiration to make some memories! Follow Figment to the Dreamport as we explore the development of the classic attraction Journey into Imagination, and find out about previous Kodak promotions both at Disneyland and at the World’s Fairs. And fire up the filmstrip because we’re remembering the EPCOT Educational Media Company! Just an ordinary day, but all at once we’re on our way – it’s the Progress City Radio Hour!

If any of you Twitter refugees are looking for me, I can be found on the Sky of Blue as well....
