Here in Florida, we hold the blessing of something special we didn’t enjoy at Disneyland, the blessing of size. There is enough land here to hold all the ideas and plans we could possibly imagine. Walt Disney publicly unveiled his plans on November 15, 1965, for a new theme park to be built in Orlando, Florida, that would become the Walt Disney World Resort. Join Walt Disney Imagineers for a 100-minute tour “behind the magic” of the creation of the Walt Disney World Resort and the Magic Kingdom Park. Learn how your favorite attractions were “Imagineered” by the men and women who designed them. See the newest attractions and the re-imagining of the classics, including Pirates of the Caribbean attraction and the expanded Haunted Mansion attraction. Take a private tour of the new Cinderella Castle suite and see how attractions in the Magic Kingdom Park went from dreams to sketches, to reality.
