Celebrating 40 Years of Walt Disney World

If you love everything Disney like I do, you’re going to love this link I found.

Jeff Kober on Mouse Planet is doing a 4-part series on “Celebrating Four Decades of Walt Disney World”, and while only part 1 is up right now…it’s really cool.

In this article, he goes through the history of Walt Disney world, each year, from when Walt Disney World first opened in 1971. You can read about all the things that were added, changed, or taken away.

Now, don’t get me wrong…there’s a LOT that I know about Disney and Walt Disney World, but even I really learned a lot from this article!

For example, did you know that Peter Pan’s Flight didn’t open until 2 days AFTER the park did? Or that in 1974, John Lennon signed the paperwork that officially broke up the Beatles while he was staying at the Polynesian Resort? Or how about in 1975, when the Lake Buena Vista Shopping Village opened, what stores were originally there?

Part one of this article goes from 1971 – 1981. I really can’t wait until the second part comes out.
I’m telling you, this article was really cool to read. If you’re into Walt Disney World, I really suggest you check it out.
