The fall of 2021 will mark the golden anniversary of one of the most popular vacation destinations in the world, Walt Disney World.
It was on that date, at a press conference in Florida, that Walt and Roy Disney confirmed what had already been speculated for some time: that the Walt Disney Company had been buying up swamp land in Florida in order to built something even more massive in size, and ambition, than Disneyland.
It was a potentially revolutionary idea… that was never going to work.
However, if we turn back the clock just a little bit father, then today, November 15, is actually the 55th anniversary of the day the general public first learned about Walt Disney’s plans to construct something that was being referred to as Disney World.
