Disney-MGM Studios Backlot Tram Tour - October 1, 1991 

I was awestruck watching this video because I’m the tour guide in the video. This was filmed 29 years ago. Amazing. My sincerest thanks for the special person that had this video and posted it. It has brought back many cherished memories!!!

I found this video yesterday and my dad is the tour guide! That’s amazing!

I was there in 1991! I was 16. My sister had graduated from college in Florida, and we all went to Disney after her graduation. This video takes me back.

Disney moments captured from a time long long ago.great archives. Thankyou

4:30 - 4:58 Facade Building & Dark Chair Was Used to be Upcoming Sequel to Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. Originally titled Honey, I Blew Up the Baby before change to Honey, I Blew Up the Kid Director: Randal Kleiser. Released In July 17, 1992 Walt Disney Pictures.

I remember this back lot tour. The earthquake tractor trailer. I didn't know where or when that was in my memory. Now I can place it.

Brings back so many memories - thank you for sharing - love the podcast!

THIS! Being part of a studio like the one presented in this era of backlot tour, making films of the concurrent era of cinema is the life i've dreamed of & fantasized about living my entire life! Being immersed in those cars, the props, the architectural facades, the costumes, the gardens, the constructed physical sets, that era of cameras & gear & special effects technology and all the infrastructure and backlots and soundstages involved to make movie magic happen... that's Heaven. I could spend eternity there. I WOULD spend eternity there, and love it just as much as the moment i set footpaw there for the first time. Take me to Movie Land! Take me Home 💜

This was one of my favorite rides at Disney's MGM studios and I loved seeing all of the props for different movies.

Just subscribed to you after watching this video, which brought me back to March of 1990 when I was in 3rd grade! Horizons is my all-time favorite extinct attraction, but this was a gem to find.

Thank you for this. The last time I was in Disney World was 1992, but I don't remember getting to ride the Backlot Tour. One of my favorite movies is 'Flight of the Navigator'. If only this was filmed on both sides with a IMAX version of super8.

Great memories! Very cool!

Such a wonderful time in the history of WDW! I remember this so well...and now one of the Flight of the Navigator ships is in Tomorrowland and the tail section of the Casablanca plane is in the Jungle Cruise!

If I hadn’t listened to the podcast I would have thought this was a wayyyy more functional production facility then it was.... they did a good job with the illusion that was presented in the tour.

Colin C. That is not the back tail of the plane used in Casablanca as no real aircraft vehicles were used during filming of the final scene. That back half is just a leftover piece of the one that used in The Great Movie Ride scene and can now be found chilling in the Magic Kingdom Jungle Cruise ride.

We were there in December 1991 / January 1992. Catastrophe Canyon was fantastic.

this was filmed 2 days prior to my 10th birthday! XD I miss these classic things... I wonder whatever happened to all the props that used to sit out there rotting away? I'll have Dumbo's Circus' wagon for my backyard please. XD

This was the day I was born

Do you have the walking tour-Inside the Magic: Special Effects and Production Tour?

It was always weird why they pushed the flop Dick Tracy movie props and the rocketeer on this ride. Here’s the suit, here’s the car, etc. And it was a flop horrible movie. I remember watching it in the theater and people were walking out. They keep pushing it though no idea why. Dick Tracy this and that.
