Walt Disney World Through the Years; Then to Now, to What’s Next?

On October 1, 1971, something wonderful occurred in the city of Lake Buena Vista, Florida. On this day, almost 50 years ago, Walt Disney World opened its doors to the public and became the “most magical place on earth”, and today is also the most visited theme park on earth.  Walt Disney passed away before the completion of Disney World, but his brother, Roy O. Disney was there with Mickey Mouse to dedicate the opening of the Magic Kingdom.  From that day until now, Walt Disney World has welcomed millions of guests, opened more than 27 Disney Resort Hotels, two water parks, four theme parks, several golf courses, Disney Springs, a shopping, dining, and entertainment complex, other entertainment venues, and even more magical experiences are on the way.  For five decades Walt Disney World has been a part of millions of lives, generations of families, and is still expanding while preparing for the greatest celebration yet to come, its 50thGolden Anniversary.  From then, to now, and beyond, Walt Disney World is here to stay and will spread even more magic to the rest of the world.

I am a working mother of four adult children, 2 granddogs, and one grandcat. I have been a Disney fanatic since 1959, when my parents took my sister and I on a journey across the country to Disneyland. Needless to say, we were thrilled, and this became our vacation destination for the next 10 years. Later, when Walt Disney World was opened, we travelled to Florida and discovered a whole new Disney experience, and WDW became our new vacation destination. Now, our extended family members are all Disney Fanatics and always ready to talk about anything Disney.
