Re: Re: Re: Today in Disney History
I think Walt still being alive today may be streaching a bit, don't forget he would have been 100, and with the stress of todays bussiness climate would have probably stressed him some,But it would have been great if he could have lived untill sometime in the 80s and seen phase 2 of WDW started.
Historical FYI
If walt would have been alive at the openig we would be calling WDW Disney World instead of Walt Disney world, which was Roys decision after his death to honor his beloved brothers vision.

Oh, yeah, I know. I was just saying, if it wasn't for the fact that he would be 100 I am sure he would love it.
Walt said that if he had two more years, he could complete EPCOT and the Mineral King Resort. *sigh*
