The Idea of Disney World
June 30, 2008
The basic idea to Disney World was the idea of Disney, an even bigger Disneyland to build and continuously expand it to be independent of space, the extensions of the California Disneyland Resort restricted. There were a result of the great success of Disneyland quickly surrounding land from other investors bought up, so to additional areas not to think. That is why Disney bought the early 1960s secretly on various camouflage companies and other investors cheap land in the area around Orlando. The tactic was successful, because only after most of the land acquired for Disney World, came on rumors that a new Disney park in Orlando plane. But Walt Disney itself betrayed, as it is based on questions about purchases in this area of Florida almost too well informed knew why this area was allegedly not suitable. Disney World was also as a kind of Disneyland for the future.
The project should also be a working community, with the Disney his ideas for urban planning test. Disney called this project Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. Disney during his lifetime was very interested in the social developments of the future had wanted to help shape and influence it. In fact, later a theme park called Epcot at Walt Disney World Resort opened, but not completely in form, as is Disney had thought. The project Epcot, the Disney lot planned and worked, he could never be achieved, since he died in 1966. However, it was near the Epcot theme park-a city according to Disney built. Celebration, the Disney town is called, was founded in 1996 by the Walt Disney Company.
The resort should be called Disney World. Before the opening, the park was, however, in honor of Walt Disney from his brother Oliver Roy Disney at Walt Disney World renamed.
The Walt Disney World as well as the Disneyland have its own currency: The Disney dollars. This currency is one to one with the U.S. dollar convertible and voluntary. The currency has more promotional status.
