Have you ever wondered why Disney World is located where it is? Or how it came to be such a massive, self-contained universe? Itโs a story that involves secret land deals, special districts, and, now, a corporation and a government locked in a feud.
The story of why Disney World is in Florida marries business and governmental concerns about the creation of the massive property. The engineering ranges from unique physical construction (like the creation of a lake) to unique legal construction (like the creation of a self-running government that could even build its own sewer system).

Buying Disneyโs World (www.amazon.com/Buying-Disneys...) by Aaron H. Goldberg is an authoritative work about the purchase of Disney. Drawing from corporate records, internal histories, and more, itโs a comprehensive narrative about Disney Worldโs creation and early years.
There are a lot of great Disney fan websites out there that are obsessive in their Disney coverage. I found Jim Hillโs history of Reedy Creek to be a good intro to the topic. (jimhillmedia.com/history-reed...)

Before deciding that year-round warm weather was a requirement, Disney considered two other East Coast locations: New Jerseyโs Meadlowlands and a site near Washington DC.
Thanks for watching!
-Phil
Thank god they didnโt choose the meadowlands. That wouldโve absolutely ruined the calming chemical wasteland aesthetic taking the train into the city
What information do you have about Disney considering West Haven, CT. Former site of Savin Rock amusement?
Always heard growing up here that it was a possibility
The National Harbor Site was the proposed DC location. A small portion of the site is still undeveloped where the east coast Disney location was allotted.
Woah. Disney wanted to do it in NJ? That would have been really interesting
too bad he didn't factor in how climate change would make Disneyland part of the Atlantis district due to rising oceans :/
I wonder how Epcot would look today if they had continued making it a futuristic city as opposed to a part of the theme park.
Have urban planners of today looked at the Epcot plans and judged it on its merits? I wonder how good the Epcot plans actually are given todays problems with car dependency and urban sprawl.
Depends in the economy. Despite the rhetoric, EPCOT is for all intents and purposes a massive company town owned and operated by Disney. He said it in the presentation film: nobody without a job with Disney can live there, and nobody own anything in there. Given Disney's seesaw of luck post Walt Disney, I doubt it will last long...
@WDSimp watch the movie tomorrowland starring george clooney. I feel that is what they were going for
@1P_CONFIG is that what Disney what trying to build a futuristic city??
That's easy to answer. One word: Singapore. It would be like Singapore.
It's almost comical that Florida has no idea how much they need Disney. Classic Florida-man right there
Yeah, but Disney isn't going anywhere from Florida. There may be short term consequences for DeSantis and maybe lack of expansion from Disney in Florida, but Disney would ultimately allow the state to do whatever it wants to it because of how deeply established it is in Florida currently.
@Ctasker5 I would actually say the exact opposite. Florida is going to let Disney do whatever they want (as is evidenced by this video) but may put on a strong face to appease certain voters.
@MustyMouse Stream Archive yeah they 100 percent know lol, as u said itโs just politics nothing drastic gonna happen
Florida has the #4 highest GDP of all states. It has a GDP of well over $1 trillion. It's hard to measure the impact exactly, but studies have shown Disney World contributes up to $80 billion to Florida's economy annually (many say it is far lower, around $18 billion, but they probably don't account for tourism quite as well). That's a sizable amount of money, it's likely somewhere between 5-8% if you're being generous, but if you actually look at the numbers losing that money wouldn't even drop Florida down to #5 highest GDP.
Disney helps, but Florida definitely doesn't need it like you claim. That's simply untrue.
Interesting... I'm a native Floridian and local to the area, and I wasn't entirely clear on the politics involved that were highlighted in recent headlines. I also didn't truly realize just how flippin large the land was!! (Us locals avoid that area as much as we can... Far too much traffic) ๐ Great video, thanks!! ๐
Traffic in Disney World is so manageable that I use it to avoid traffic elsewhere (I-4, 192, etc) on my commute home frome work
Why did it rain every day in Disney world?
@Tiger Abraham because thatโs what happens in Florida during the summer.
too much traffic? then they SHOULD invest in public transportation. in the Anaheim park, the monorail is essentially a concept that most developed European and Asian countries made into high-speed rails.
then again, America was duped into buying cars because the auto industry lobbied for dominance in the name of profit (and oppressinng marginalized communities for being poor and/or black. thaaaaat's hypercapitalism :/
Is it weird that the conservative dream of a privately owned city with minimal government may be ended by people who call themselves conservative?
Thats not a conservative dream. I dont know what rock your living under.
@Prypiat Shadow It's definitely a libertarian or at least neoliberal dream...so conservative adjacent. Also, in the context you were using the word, it's "you're" not "your."
You missed one big thing- Walt Disney originally wanted Disney World to be in Daytona Beach. However the city voted it down, as it wasn't wholesome enough, which is hilarious given what Daytona would become synonymous with.
what is daytona synonymous with ?
โ@Rakeem KoromaSpring Break
more specifically spring break for college and highschool students.
Thatโs sad since I consider going to Daytona once a year so having Disney World right in the city wouldโve been really really good. Oh well itโs just gonna be synonymous with goofball college kids and NASCAR.
Lgbt?
My momโs family moved to Orlando in 1959 and my parents still live there. It feels like he is spitting on town history. Disney World is something generations of my family are proud of, they remember it being built my mom was employed there as a teen in the 60s and drove the monorail, myself, and my cousins worked summer jobs. My uncle was a full-time employee. I just want him to leave Orange county out of his simple bumpkin soundbite seeking mind. People like Disney more than politicians, and he needs to get over it.
Central Florida wouldn't be what it is today without Disney
True. Overcrowded, overpriced, and too much traffic.
@DJ Gamera NIMBY mentality. If not, it would have been like some parts of Lousiana under developed without proper water or sewage system
โ@DJ Gamera Still a fun city to visit
Or SeaWorld, or universal, that doesn't justify unfair advantages given to one and not the others.
As a former disney world employee, the only thing we're told as to why it was built in Florida was due to it being warm all year round, and it had lots of open areas which was good for building a big theme park. I knew Disney was a Republican but I had no idea him building the parks involved politics. Definitely makes sense though.
Do you read what you are commenting!?
Your point?
@Ella Tignor my point is I was stating facts from someone who used to work for the corporation. Clearly you didn't read nor comprehend my comment.
One of the things Walt learned from Disneyland was how hotels were popping up miles out to capitalise on demand for the resort, the scale of Dsineyworld was explicitly to capture the externalties. Because of the scale however the land purchases had to be kept secet as long as possible to stop owners or land speculators from holding the land titles in expectation of the massive value the investment would create.
However though Disney did unusually create a large amount of local land value (and this argument is sometimes used to discredit land value tax despite being a total outlier), the sites were not chosen at random but to capitalse on exisiting and new public goods, as wiki entry explains
'. After witnessing the well-developed network of roads and taking the planned construction of both Interstate 4 and Florida's Turnpike into account, with McCoy Air Force Base (later Orlando International Airport) to the east, Disney selected a centrally located site near Bay Lake.'
So the state should still capture that value via a land tax or equivalent methods of value capture.
Amen.๐.
I went to Disney World first week of June this year. It's shocking to see the influence they have over the area, and everyone knows about it. Even at Universal studios in the horror make-up show, a stage artist spilled water on an audience member (as part of the act). They asked them if they would like a towel, followed by "that will be $10. Welcome to Orlando!" Amazing experience.
The two big issues Walt had with the Anaheim location, which are still true today, are that out-of-towners could stay "off property" at completely non-Disney-affiliated hotels which are easy walking distance from the main gate and locals (particularly) could see traffic on I-5 from the top of the Ferris wheel and strategically time their exit based on that.
Disney wasn't in the hotel business in Walt's lifetime, the Disneyland Hotel was run by his Hollywood friend Jack Wrather. The company had no history as a lodging operator until after Walt died, when they took over Disney World's two hotels following visitor complaints about the outside operator they initially hired to staff them.
Now we canโt afford to go at all๐
They actually considered New Orleans at one point. Imagine if they got that economic boost like Florida did
God i wish they would have drained NOLA like they did those florida swamps xD
I am from New Orleans and I knew about this! I think they planned to use (or build?) an island in Lake Pontchartrain. If the multiverse exists, I would love to visit the universe where New Orleans got Disney World - it would have been such a different city haha
It would have been in the hotspot for hurricanes, which is where you would NOT want to build a multi-million dollar theme park.
@XEION So is florida ๐คจ
@XEION Central Florida is less on the hurricane pathway than sitting right on a gulf
I watched a documentary about Disneyland before. I think it was at Disney family museum. What happened with California Disneyland was that he wanted to whole area to be kid friendly. A lot of businesses nearby started to do whatever to benefit from the popularity of Disneyland that it started to become not so kid friendly. He bought a larger land in Florida to make sure that the surrounding areas will be Disneyland property in case he wants to expand and also to prevent businesses that will build things surrounding the park that will ruin the โfantasyโ world that he wanted to build.
There's a movie called "The Florida Project" that shows this issue in particular, because it highlights a motel in Kissimmee having to cater to Disney tourists.
Walt Disney would have been a great antagonist for a Bioshock game
No one can convince me that the antagonists we had weren't inspired by him
He already is. Who do you think Andrew Ryan is based of
Bioshock?
@lovely lip bones ouwwwwww wolvres. the video game from 2007. You know one of the best games of all time
I mean Andrew Ryan kinda looks like walt Disney
Fun fact. Walt Disney's parents were married in central Florida, 50 miles north of the land Walt Disney World was built on.
I wished this went into more of the feud going on, but when I looked back at the title, I realized it may need its own video for that. This video did a great job of explaining what the title promises, and thatโs all I can ask for!
The feud is the governor with a massive ego, presidential ambitions and doesnt like being questioned.
It's still ongoing so maybe after the elections there will be a vid about it
ron desatan
It's funny how corporations control municipalities. In Japan, the city where Toyota's headquarters is located was renamed from Koromo City to Toyota City.
Oh that's interesting. I always thought the company was named after the city.
@Thomi Crisler It's the same with Mitsubishi and Honda.
Money talks
There were also a lot of good Cuban artists and architects who worked on the project I would know because my grandfather was the one who owned the construction companyโs and got the artists on the job. I believe most of his involvement was in the creation of itโs a small world
Growing up in south GA, there was a rumor that Walt also considered placing WDW in Valdosta, GA. We share a lot of the same warm weather, and it's on I-75. But the owner of the land, Stafford, didn't want to sell. Not sure how much proof there is to say that's true. Today though, there is an amusement park in the area, Wild Adventures.
It is true
The DC project was just an hotel project in National Harbor. They purchased 11 acres back in 2009 but ended cancelling the project. However, the first DC-area site they saw was on Haymarket, VA proposed in the early 90s, to be called "Disney America" to which they decided to not go through due to climate, recession and the then-failure of the Euro Disney park (Disneyland Paris)
As a California nativeโฆitโs interesting that Florida gets so much more with their theme parks. Disney World + Universal Studios. Makes me wanna visit one day.
Same, let's go together ๐
I always get the two 'land' and 'world' mixed up. Nevertheless, Walt's greatest investment was FL's Disney World
Thanks Vox! For always answering the questions we donโt ask.
So basically Walt Disney was playing Cities Skylines IRL.
What a story!!! That continues to be unwritten. Letโs go Disney, fight that hate! ๐ฅ
Florida was already a tourist state and the land near Orlando was very cheap at the time.
Make FLORIDA Great Again ๐ Ron DeSantis
Why would tourist flock to Florida without disneyworld?
@The Official Channel Because of the coastline/beaches, kind of like California. Disney World added on to its appeal.
@SupernovaXS ohh Alligators and Swamps and Humid Air true , everyone would love to see that
@SupernovaXS sorry I meant like how was Florida before Disney was there? Like people really flew out there cause of the coastlines back then?
Great video, Phil! Thank you for all you do
Anyone who has ever visited the parks (I've visited both of them) knows what a special place it is and how kids and adults love it. Yes, it's expensive to plan a vacation that includes the parks, but if was free, the main problem would be over-crowding.
I can't remember when I first heard about Reedy Creek. I do remember I was against the idea of a corporation owning a city. Not enough to stop buying Disney products. Especially when Disney bought Marvel. Now the idea of siding with DeSantis turns my stomach. Corporations should not be in charge of counties or cities.
@Michael Smith The Taiwan part is actually flipped, the US made Taiwan a chip manufacturing economy to protect them financially and made them the best in the entire world at it.
It's only recently where that's now a reason to protect Taiwan, because during the cold war as long as you were aligned with the US, they just threw money at you, they didn't care.
It's not officially a county. It's a Special Tax District because the property stretches across county lines and would have two dueling governments. The other theme parks don't have them because they are entirely in Orange County. Many cross-county agencies have similar districts (the Golden Gate Bridge in California, for example).
I stand corrected.
Well, I think Disney identified the fact land south of Orlando, Florida was literally dirt cheap. That's why the Walt Disney Company bought all that huge amount of land through a shell company between 1962 and 1966.
Itโs sad that the only way for people to stop unpopular legislation is to have a corporation fight against it
The legislation you speak of was supported by the majority of Floridians
@AdAnalyst No, just the majority of northern transplants who moved to a tourist destination at 70 and then complain about the tourists.
*unethical legislation
Legislation is only unpopular if people vote against it. The definition of unpopular means that the majority of people donโt like it. The legislation you speak of was, by definition, popular in Florida because the majority of people voted for it. What you want is for a corporation to step in and overturn legislation that you donโt like.
โ@LeScratch89People who live there are Floridians too. Thats how it works.
this was put together so well!! thanks for sharing, the video is a lot of fun to watch!
If only DeSantis would actually fight Disney on things that actually matters, like how much Disney pays and treats it's 'cast members', then he might actually gain more support and may even win against the other republican candidates
Or maybe how Disney uses/abuses copyright laws and owns almost all the most profitable media rights now.
That man needs to lose before his head inflates to become the next Furher Hindenburg.
If cast members donโt like their pay or treatment, they are free to quit
@Scott Molnar Why, so the next cast person can be treated unfairly?
I think that this argument between Disney and the state government is basically by my guess like changing the constitution to something else. I also think that if someone had rights for about 50 years they should keep those rights due to they did things good for many years
Ron's problem is the government constitutionally cannot break a contract. So he can blather all he wants but he's very limited
@spicy bean I get what you mean
Usually, Vox videos are shorter but get the point across in a very well-reasoned manner and very well. This one felt a bit rushed / incomplete.
I agree, leaving a lot out and felt incredibly rushed
Phil Edwards' videos are always great to watch. Great one!
Walt Disney almost became the real life equivalent of Andrew Ryan from Bioshock
Ryan was created by Ken Levine of Irrational Games based on figures including Ayn Rand, Howard Hughes, Charles Foster Kane, and Walt Disney. The character has received significant praise from critics, with Electronic Gaming Monthly ranking him ninth on their list of top ten video game politicians.
โI chose the impossible m, I chose Disneyland ๐คโ
Perhaps the most powerful company within the state and country, providing many great jobs to their communities.
i'm most surprised by the fact that Disney have the legal right to operate a nuclear fission power plant right in the middle of florida
nuclear is a safe technology if you actually look into why the meltdowns happened
Yeah Nuclear is annihilation. I would much rather have a coal fire power plant because these are much better for the health and Climate of Florida! /s
Iโm not sure how true it is but I heard Disney buys more explosives then US military cuz of all the fireworks lol
@Corey Black why not speed up the rate in which Florida goes underwater?
@Science Bear You've heard of property on the water, now get ready for property UNDER the water!
Local Floridian! Disney world is wild because now a million other amusement parks have built up in downtown central Florida just to mimic their success story. No local wants to go into the area because itโs so overcrowded with tourists most of the time. I never go to Disney even though I live close by.
Haha, just like Times Square ๐
Same with downtown DC
As a Florida who lives between the Villages and Disney. They both have been the main contributors of why Florida is starting to turn to garbage.
I just watched a video about an abandoned theme park in Europe. Imagine if Disneys massive parks were abandoned one day.
Walt did fly over Orlando 1:54. He did see I-4 & the FL turnpike intersect, (& barely any developments SW of that spot) But he(one) cannot see I-95 from Orlando. Its over 50+ miles away.
-
& you generalized too much about Central Florida being the only location considered.
He did consider other places
(as others have mentioned) and he did seriously look at Ocala, FL, because thatโs where his mom was from.
(And land was even cheaper there, than in Orlando)
Still waiting on that city. According to this video fewer than FIFTY people reside on the grounds. No massive rail system just the 1 monorail, sounds more like Disney failed to deliver, and anybody who lives here year round understand the issues this park causes daily. Drive I4 between mile marker 55 and 64 its less than 10 miles and often takes over an hour to get through. It's a 6 and 8 lane interstate that doubles as a parking lot 12 hours a day.
Any idea why thereโs a huge gap in the land Disney purchased and the Reedy Creek district south of Route 530? The video uses both interchangeablely.
Celebration. It used to be owned by Disney as the company built the city, however they annexed it since residents wanted voting power and Disney was against it. Native Floridian and very local resident.
@Jonathan VelezI think you mean โdeannexedโ it from the Reedy Creek District
About the bonds: What stops the state from deciding that the debts dissolved with the district, that neither the state nor Orange/Osceola counties nor Disney owes any money?
Florida could default on the bonds. Their credit-worthiness would plummet, and anytime they might need to issue bonds or borrow money would become much more expensive.
That steel drum cover of 'A Postcard to Henry Purcell' is so amazing! If anyone knows where I could find it I would really appreciate it.
If only they would realize how much the two entities need each other and stop antagonizing the other.
Even if Disney does go out of business it doesn't matter because walt disney has already done what he wanted to do
Phil is too good for Vox. Every video he touches is instant gold....just sayin
That will teach them and other industries not to build in a swamp. Walt considered everything when he chose Florida, everything except the possibility that the swamp people might elect a tyrannical government.
A "tyrannical government" -Angry Liberal
As a swamp person I do not approve this message
โ@MarioLouis64 "here we see the scaredy republican/conservative, watching the liberal herd with great fear" grow up
Yah i can confirm the recent conservative pushback in Florida has largely been fueled by less extreme left leaners deciding to vote for Ron after seeing the stuff folks in Cali. Have been getting up too
Florida depends on Tourism, without Tourism you really only have left is farming & fishing
I've got two words to describe the whole situation: "Who cares?"
Yeah, a multi billion dollar company is having a little tiff with the local mob boss. Who would've thunk it?
Thanks for showing our ๐กstate of Florida! With this video
Well, Disney World may not be a futuristic utopia, but it is still an independent kingdom that is essential to Florida's economy. Checkmate.
Wow, I did not know about the bond debt transferring to the counties. Nice one, Ron DeMeatball.
Ironic huh? The low taxes, keep government out, red party is doing the exact opposite of their own mission statement. Removing or dissolving Reedy Creek would cause massive tax increases in the surrounding, red voting counties. Makes no senseโฆ but hey itโs FL - Iโve lived here my whole life and canโt explain it, must be the humidity.
The bond debt would go to the state. But Disney does pay the counties property tax without receiving services, so the counties would have to start providing those services to Disney.
I'm glad Governor Ron Disaster showed us who he is before running for president.
Itโs sad that Walt Disney didnโt live to see the opening of Disney World.
No itโs not. He was a horrible man
@Jim Heeren You knew him? Cool!
โ@Prince Valenciathe rumours are big
@Jim Heeren the single greatest individual ever to embody the โAmerican Dreamโ was not actually a terrible person, but I understand thatโs a popular thing to read on the internet.
@Jim Heeren how? elaborate (iโm not being ignorant i just donโt know what he did)
I would love for Disney to leave Florida! Iโm excited for Disney. They could exit slowly. โค
Disney world being in Florida is the number one reason why i havenโt been. Not going to that state unless required by law.
I wonder how the taxpayers of the local counties that all this debt will likely now fall onto feel about desantisโ little war with Disney?
Hopefully I'll get to see this amazing place someday๐คฉ
the politics of this area was defined, before the 1st blade of soil was turned - that is after Gulf Oil donated the land.
For good or for bad Disney is Orlando and Orlando is Disney.
Easy, half of the people I know in the area work in something related to them parks or hospitality.
Hopefully, they all vote.
Disney is building communities now in the Coachella Valley area in CA
walt disney is truly one of the absolute best
Except for the National Socialist support thing.
Oh...and the racist and sexist thing.
Other than that...a genius and by genius I mean he built his kingdom off someone else's idea
"Legal Mindset" is a great place to get all of the answers about "the feud".
But wait, they did manage to build a city of future. A future controlled by giant corporations without any legal restrictions from the public, that is.
I think Texas would be a decent location. Doesn't get too cold and sees snow like 3 days out of the year.
I know Disney is from Illinois but how come he never tried doing something like a little tribute prototype area of the park in Chicago like make a Disney tower
You left out how the Reedy Creek District voted all of its powers over to Disney in their last meeting before the new DeSantis board took over.
I missed the part where that was illegal
Ron DeSantis should know not to pick a fight with Disneyโs lawyers, theyโve single-handedly changed copyright law several times
Make FLORIDA Great Again ๐ Ron DeSantis
@BOOZ Make Florida Lose Again ๐Ron DeSterile
You'd prefer that Disney go unchecked then? Mickey Mouse should have been public domain like 30 years ago but they keep getting laws changed and you are chill with them having that level of influence? If I'm misreading you then just say so but that's how you are coming off
@Thanos Patrick i think his point is that it's pointless to fight against the freaking mouse. but yeah they shouldn't be so unchecked. Reedy Creek should still remain under disney otherwise us Floridians will legit have to pay for it as said in the video
Now we need a Disney vs Florida
Well done video. Good infographics and archival video
Wonder how much the RCID name change is costing Disney. Every sign must be changed, all buildings; especially the garbage bins. All stationary must be changed etc. Was there a legitamate reason for the name change?
Disney needs to expand to a space station, the moon or Mars.
or LAS VEGAS ๐๏ธโฑ๏ธ๐๐ค
As an European, I now know where the ideas for Epic Mickey came from
I hope Walt Disney World won't close and I hope it won't be abandon ?
and I hope the Walt Disney company will not think of moving to another destination with humongous land, bigger than the Disneyland Resort
I donโt know man Californiaโs looking real attractive right about now
This built up the history really well and then just said 'somehow palpatine returned' and ended.
Lol 50-100% increase in tourism for Florida the governor had no idea how big his vision was I imagine it is more like X10 that ๐
This video just made me realise Iron man 2โs stark expo was inspired by this EPCOT.
Florida is awesome. Iโve lived here for 15 years. I have lived in Monterey, CA, Virginia Beach, VA, Alabama, grew up in Memphis/Nashville, TN and I canโt say enough about how awesome Florida is. Nothing compares.
What part of memphis
Agreed. Iโm a part time resident here in the Orlando area and itโs awesome. Best place ever.
So wasn't a site in Louisiana around New Orleans ( Near Slidell/ Lacombe) under strong consideration before Florida ??
Six Flags got flooded near Slidell. Disney likely knew NOLA was a bad choice because of flooding. Walt also liked existing interstate access in Florida.
The ending was a spectacular reference of the clause!
A municipality taxes it's residents. I feel like it's asking a lot for a corporation to do out of pocket
Does anyone know what condos/apartments are owned by Disney on Little Lake Bryan, that he was talking about?
Thatโs where the college housing used to be
Ah yes - the handpan, the official instrument of Fantasyland
Although I donโt agree with Disneyโs political views lately, I think itโs wrong for DeSantis to clearly retaliate against the company for having a different political view.
Go woke go broke
@Ella Tignor Going broke because consumers donโt agree with your political views is one thing, government retaliation because of your political views is another. Or is America not the land of the free?
@Ella Tignor Meaning what? Exactly.
Great video and information ๐ฏ
Desantis is comically bad to get me rooting for a megacorporation that owns practically everything.
Which is why I'm rooting for DeSantis, and not the corporation who sued a grieving father for putting an image of Spiderman on his son's grave. I've never heard any stories about DeSantis intentionally destroying a terminally ill child's final wish.
@Not Gordon Freemanwhich is worse, a transphobic politician or a corporation doing rainbow capitalism hmm๐ค๐ค๐ค
@Not Gordon Freeman DeSantis, who calls trans people mutants and think the whole group of people should be eradicated? Does it remind you of someone (hint - Hitler)?
@Equestria Guy he never said they should be eradicated, stop the hyperbole
Wow, the original blueprints looks like burning man's actual layout ๐
i really wish they were able to make his dream come true
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Go Disney!
This has been very informative. Vox is worried about deSantos
Let's be honest Disneyworld is moving to Georgia sadly Desantis has officially destroyed Disney's presence there
Disney should move to southern Arizona...maybe Phoenix or Tucson area..weather is better year around without the humidity .
The Magic Kingdom should use some of itโs magic to get rid of the humidity. If you like walking around wet, like you just got off a water ride, even though you havenโt been on a water ride, then this place is for you. Your underwear will feel as swampy as the land that Disney World is built on.
Respect Disneyโค
Yea, I wish they had kept building up the Monorail system. At least it would've continued to feel like the city of tomorrow. Buses don't give that vibe.
Was Disney world segregated when it opened and why or why not? I'd like to see an investigative report on that.
No. Segregation was over by the time the park was built.
โ@R Nwhat about Disneyland?
