Hello, folks! Throughout the past week @JokersWild, @SandyClaws and I have been hard at work doing research and recording for the first two episodes of perhaps the most ambitious long-form podcast series in the history of my channel...Disney By The Decade!
This is an extensive, research-based educational podcast built on tracking how each and every park grew and evolved through each decade. The things that remained the same, the marketing strategies that evolved yet still always had a focus on IP-driven content (even back in the days when half the park was Davy Crockett...I mean Frontierland...) and of course a detailed and complete run down of each and every attraction that has closed within the park's history.
We've already recorded part one which covers Disneyland in the 1950's from the initial development of the park to Walt's use of the Disneyland TV show for marketing all the way up to the opening of the Subs, Matterhorn, and Monorail in 1959 which reshaped the entire park.. We cover the focus on the Davy Crockett IP as Frontierland evolved, the ever-evolving mess that was Tomorrowland, the chaos of opening day, and so much more!
We'll be going live a bit after midnight tonight for our discussion on the evolution of the park in the 1960s. Tons of things go down this decade including the 1964 World's Fair and development of Audio-Animatronics, the opening of New Orleans Square, Walt Disney's early plans for "The Florida Project", the untimely passing of Walt and how the park rebounded in a big way with some of the most popular theme park attractions ever in The Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean. All this, an extensive break down of the 1967 "World on the Move" version of Tomorrowland, and more in a super-sized episode! Please give feedback as I'm taking this extremely seriously and want to use them on a professional level to promote what kind of content I create on my Youtube channel.
Also I figured this thread would be a cool place to discuss how Disney has evolved over the years versus what has stayed the same.
