Living with the Land

Attraction History

Living With the Land was opened with The Land pavilion on October 1, 1982 as Listen To The Land. The attraction was designed to be an open topped boat ride through simulated habitats. Listen To The Land was created with the idea that it would "Part Disney ride and part educational". After the tour of the habitats, guests were shown a working research center. The University of Arizona Environmental Researchers were brought in as consultants on the attraction, which also included too (originally temporary) greenhouses.

The attraction had it's soft opening on September 28, 1982 and it's grand opening, along with the rest Epcot on October 1, 1982. Listen to the Land remained the same until 1993 when Nestle took over sponsorship of pavilion. The attraction was renamed Living With the Land, and the opening and closing scenes were changed. In 2004 the attraction received FASTPASS booths, although they are currently not operational. Finally, on August 20, 2006, the Cast Member narrators were removed from the attraction, in favor of an automated narration.
