==Attraction History==
The history of what would eventually be known as Listen to the Land began when Kraft announced that it would sponsor The Land pavilion in Disney's unbuilt theme park [[EPCOT Center]]. Initially, Disney had expanded the concept of the "ecology and mineral pavilion" so that it focused on the many environments of the earth <ref name= "Martin"> http://www.martinsvids.net/?p=652 </ref>. When the original sponsor of the pavilion,Georgia Pacific (a logging company), ended its involvement, the theme and content of the pavilion once again changed <ref name= "Martin"/>. In September 1978, Kraft agreed to sponsor the pavilion, and thus agriculture and food became The Land's focus. In order to showcase agriculture, Imagineers, led by Rolly Crump, created an open-top boat ride that would take guests through the earth's many habitats, while showing man's effect on them. During the initial creation of the attraction, Disney had planned to create the "Living Laboratories" where food from around the world would be found growing<ref name= "Sklar"> Sklar, Marty. Dream It! Do It!: My Half-century Creating Disney's Magic Kingdoms. Disney Editions, 2013. Print. </ref>, however this idea was later slightly modified.
During the development of Listen to the Land, two major changes took place. The first was the fact that the temporary greenhouses planned for The Land pavilion were permanently incorporated into the attraction<ref name= "Martin"/> (the Living Laboratories concept was also utilized here). The second change was the addition of a canopy to the boats themselves. When Imagineers decided to add real rain effects to the attraction, the boats were given coverage <ref name= "Martin"/>. Listen to the Land opened with the rest of The Land pavilion on EPCOT Center’s opening day, October 1, 1982 <ref> http://thisdayindisneyhistory.homestead.com/epcotgrandopening.html </ref>.
==Attraction Plot==
===Listen to the Land===
Listen to the Land began with guests boarding their boats and being greeted by their tour guide. While they loaded, riders could hear the attraction's theme song, "Listen to the Land" playing in the background. The first scene in the attraction was known as the "Symphony of Seed". This scene was a stylistic look at how plants grow and spread. Within the scene, guests could see seeds being blown by the wind while classical music played.
* The replacement finale of the Symphony attraction was changed so that it showed various humans standing in front of Seeds with a new storm sceneagriculture. In this scene, the narrator tells guests that climate changes are sweeping over the land. She then goes on to say that the storm is a new beginning for the land, and that the water combined with sunlight leads The former finale which showcased futuristic agricultural methods was moved to the growth greenhouse section of the planettour.
* The Rainforest scene was extendedremoval of the song "Listen to the Land" from the attraction.
==Fun Facts and Trivia==* The removal of the "Listen In order to add interest to Living with the Land" song from , it was decided to add a mural featuring famous quotes about the environment to the attraction's queue. During the development of the mural, Marty Sklar suggested using quotes from ordinary children. In order to accomplish this goal, Disney reached out to various children's environmental organizations. Eventually, Saving Earth agreed advertise the mural in its newsletter, and the company received 800 different submissions. Of these submissions, the number of quotes was narrowed to the 10 which were chosen <ref name= "jack"/>.
