I pool hop while using last year's refillable mug and parking at the Poly to go to MK to sneak my 3-year old in as a 2-year-old so I can take flash pictures on dark rides with a Brazilian tour group.

Oh, it's fantastic! Lots of newspaper clippings and such that really help you get an idea of the excitement of what people were feeling as-it-happened. Turns out the Disney organization and some of the media at the time were tight as toast so they kept quiet; doesn't hurt that one of the big...

Been trying to find out all day. LOL. Willing to bet the phones at member services will be swamped tomorrow. :lol:

Those renewing their WDW APs are getting 15 months rather than 12 as a "gift" from the company.

Yep, well-familiar with that one. :D I'm hoping this one will be more narrative-based; the Promises and Problems relies on a lot of newspaper clippings (which is quite cool in its own right, I might ad).

Off the top of my head, no... it was made "back in the day." You would, however, probably like "Walt Disney Takes You to Disneyland." It's primarily a music soundtrack thing, but Walt sort of narrates a walk through the lands along the way.

Reminded me of a guy we used to have on the UGA campus named "Bathrobe Billy." Extremely intelligent, but he always wore a terrycloth bathrobe over his clothes and he had all the social skills of a bucket of mop water, and would always belabor a point till no one cared.

Who wouldn't be. It was like a freaking manifesto. I love D&F, and even I wanted the guy to STFU.

It was just released very recently, so it may still be early-on for library acquisition.

Glad I could help. Found it using a simple googlin' for "Disney World" keyword articles published around the time of park opening :lol: Google Books is a beautiful thing :D

'cause hey, if there's one more thing you need, V, it's another book around the house. :lookaroun At the rate it's going, I think I'm going to have to knock down a wall to make room for the ever-expanding BLIADEG (Brkgnews Library & Institute for Advanced Disney/Exposition Geekdom) :D

Hey, gang. For those of you librarily-minded (yep, just made that word up -- I'm looking at you, marni1971 and jerlev), I just stumbled onto a new book about the massive undercover land purchase operation that Disney undertook to secure enough property for WDW. It's called "Project Future,"...

Glad y'all are enjoying it. Evan: I don't have that Brinkley piece in video form, but there is a similar article in print form, written by a New York magazine columnist)...

Stumbled upon this today from a 1971 Popular Mechanics magazine. Read the full article on Google Books... http://bit.ly/dgXJJi Or glance at a couple of scans from the seven-page article...

:eek: Those time-traveling thieves stole our Mesa Verde orange groves! :eek: :lookaroun (Popular Mechanics Magazine... July 1939)

Wouldn't surprise me if Mickey and Minnie wound up with little "vacation cabins" in Fantasyland Forest or something. You know... DVC treehouse villas. :lookaroun

Ha! Very cool. Hadn't heard that before.

Really? You've gotta catch-up, son. [/wait for it]

Kyle: "Dude, dolphins are intelligent and friendly animals." Cartman: "Intelligent and friendly on rye bread with some mayonaise." Having said that :lookaroun, you can't comprehend the grace or beauty of a creature completely without seeing it in the flesh. I've seen pictures of whale sharks...

:ROFLOL: Yep, that :D
