/* Pavilion History */
Although the Journey Into Imagination pavilion was completed in Epcot Center’s opening day, inside the pavilion only Magic Journey’s was open to guests. Five days later on October 6, 1982 the ImageWorks area opened to guests<ref name= "E82"/>. Lastly, on March 5, 1983 the Journey Into Imagination attraction finally opened to guests. It would was not until the attraction opened that the pavilion was officially named Journey Into Imagination <ref name= "Martin"/>. Although the attraction had been more or less ready to go since the pavilion opened, Disney executives felt that Imagineers needed more time to work the kinks out. According to Tony Baxter:
