Epcot At 35: That Krazy Koo-Koo Kitchen Kabaret
One
of the original attractions in Epcot® Park at Walt Disney World® Resort on its
Opening Day, October 1, 1982, Kitchen Kabaret was an Audio-Animatronics® show—there were 25 characters in all, making up “the
most unusual cast of incredible edibles this side of the refrigerator"—at The Land. Does this well-remembered attraction (it closed in 1994) fit in with our Countdown to Halloween 2017? Just take a look at the mutant monsters on the cover of Disney News magazine, Winter 1985. Actually, this is the Colander Combo and Fiesta Fruit combo. Veggie Veggie Fruit Fruit, anyone?
I found this show charming and delightful when I saw it in October '92. I heard others making comments not so favorable, but I liked it. I went to The Land Pavilion early in the day because in those days they served breakfast in the revolving restaurant (including whole wheat Mickey Mouse pancakes) and while I was enjoying my breakfast I was watching the boats go by underneath. So after that I headed for the boat ride and while on that I discovered there was also a foot tour of the agricultural operations, which I did next. Then it was the Kitchen Kabaret and a wide screen movie on the environment. By the time I left The Land it was nearly 2 PM and I had spent the entire first part of the day there! In my book the Kitchen Kabaret is a Klassic!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment, Scarecrow, and for your memories Epcot '92. and your insight into this Klassic attraction. I am glad to hear it's one of your favorites. It's one of mine too! My remarks about the cast being "monsters" was all in fun and was said affectionately. I would love to see this attraction brought back. It was very unique and very "Epcot." Thanks again for your comment, and for reading my blog!
