What is an even better less know story is how Walt did not want to build in Florida at all. His intense hatred of snakes had him wanting to build in Antarctica as he heard it was the only "snake free" continent on the planet.
I'd heard rumors that was the case but had not had confirmation! The people that told me about it mentioned there was a REASON that they were so intent on building so much Frozen into the parks. It all makes sense! It's Walt's true vision of the parks! He wanted his 2nd park to be set in a wintery world of ice and snow. So many stories make sense now! The reason Indiana Jones is in multiple attractions ("Snakes, why did it have to be snakes" was originally said by Walt during a rare secret meeting between himself and a young Speilburg that took place in of all places a reptile house in the San Diego zoo in the mid 60s). 20000 Leagues was originally scheduled to end in the polar ice caps section until Rolly Crump suggested it wasn't a great ending. I wonder if "Do you wanna build a snowman?" was actually a long lost Sherman brothers song dusted off and remixed for the current film sensation.
You are through the looking glass now and there is no going back.
I think I read that it was originally written for Jeffery Jones to sing to Macaulay Culkin.
It's a little known fact...heard from the guy that told the bus drivers brother-in-law...that the Disney Princesses, when they aren't out doing meet and greets, were the operators who'd connect your call.
And, Walt wanted to investigate that crashed alien vessel there too. Just sayin...
I don't know where you read this or who gave you this information. It's a pretty well known thing that Walt couldn't build Epcot or his apartment because of the snakes.............. and the aliens.
And Walt is alive and well, along with Elvis, somewhere in the Caribbean.
And Tupac
