01:01If you ever had a dream, and had that dream come true, then you know a little something about the
01:09magic of Walt Disney World.
01:41Magic of Walt Disney World.
01:43Magic of Walt Disney World.
01:46Forget all your sorrows, tomorrow's better than it seems.
01:50There's something magical about a parade.
01:54Little kids and pink lemonade.
01:59Grown-ups having the best time of their lives.
02:03There's magic in other things you can do.
02:07And when you're done and you think you are through, you turn around and then there's more than you ever
02:15dreamed of.
02:16The magic of Walt Disney World.
02:43The magic of Walt Disney World.
02:55The year was 1955 when Walt Disney introduced America to a totally new concept in family entertainment.
03:02It was called Disneyland and it was indescribable.
03:07Gone was the crazy quilt chaos of the typical amusement park.
03:11Instead, guests found themselves surrounded by a land of three-dimensional fantasy.
03:16It was like walking onto a movie set or into a dream.
03:22Well, it came about when my daughters were very young and Saturday was always Daddy's Day with the two daughters.
03:30So we'd start out and try to go someplace with, you know, different things.
03:34And I would take them to the merry ground and I took them to different places.
03:38And as I'd sit there while they rode the merry ground, did all these things, sit on a bench, you
03:45know, eating peanuts, I felt that there should be something built.
03:50Some kind of an amusement enterprise built where the parents and the children could have fun together.
03:57So that's how Disneyland started.
04:00Well, it took many years.
04:01It was a whole period of maybe 15 years developing.
04:05It started with many ideas, threw them away, started all over again.
04:09And eventually it evolved into what you see today as Disneyland.
04:14But it all started from a Daddy with two daughters wondering where he could take them, where he could have
04:20a little fun with them too.
04:21But as enchanting and all-encompassing as Disneyland is, in Walt Disney's mind, it inspired an even bigger dream.
04:29Already plans were taking shape for an entire family vacation resort.
04:33One where guests could not only surround themselves with a magic kingdom, but with acres and acres of vacation fun.
04:40After all, if Disneyland's guests could experience the magic of dreams coming true for a few hours, why not for
04:47a few days?
04:48Or a week? Or longer?
04:53Here in Florida, we have something special we never enjoyed at Disneyland.
04:57A blessing of size.
04:59There's enough land here to hold all of the ideas and plans we could possibly imagine.
05:05Land. 43 square miles of land.
05:09A vacation kingdom in the heart of Florida that's become the single most popular resort destination in the world.
05:15Walt Disney World.
05:18The crowning jewel of Walt Disney World is the Magic Kingdom, where the magic of dreams coming true begins.
05:26Perhaps you've dreamed of returning to an earlier time.
05:29A time of homespun values and simple living.
05:33That dream takes shape and surrounds you here on Main Street, USA.
05:38What was America like at the turn of the century?
05:42Perhaps very much like this recreation of everyone's hometown.
05:46The sights and sounds of fond nostalgia are everywhere.
05:51There's a friendly greeting at the old city hall.
05:54The measured pace of a horse-drawn trolley.
05:57And the hiss of live steam as a vintage locomotive pulls into Main Street Station.
06:03Even the shenanigans of a band of musical firemen.
06:06As you make your way down Main Street, it all comes back.
06:09There's the old-time cinema, where adventure was a box of popcorn and a Saturday matinee.
06:16The Penny Arcade, where a pocket full of change bought hours of fun.
06:20And the old ice cream parlor, where double-dipped cones meant the ultimate in old-time air conditioning.
06:32On our Main Street, the stage is set in front of Cinderella Castle.
06:36A focus for the wonder that is the Magic Kingdom.
06:43Cinderella Castle is a fairy tale made real.
06:55Inside, the Cinderella story is told through over 10,000 individual tiles.
07:00Their colors flecked with real gold.
07:03The scenes speak of romance, magic, and beautiful dreams all come true.
07:09And it all makes a fitting portal to the dreams found in Fantasyland.
07:13Here's a land where horses prance majestically on a whirling golden carousel.
07:23Where teacups spin in madcap fashion.
07:27The Nautilus becomes your vessel, and Captain Nemo your host,
07:31as you embark on a perilous voyage 20,000 leagues under the sea.
07:40And you'll think you'll have seen everything when you see Dumbo, the elephant, fly.
07:50In Fantasyland, anything can happen.
07:52And happiness is the universal language.
07:56Because if you could gather the children of all nations and give them each a message to share, you'd soon
08:02realize it's a small world after all.
08:07Dreams of the future have tantalized the imagination of poet and scientist alike.
08:12And here, in Tomorrowland, visitors can catch a glimpse of what the future holds.
08:18You might well imagine yourself in the spaceport of some futuristic metropolis, surrounded by examples of the lifestyle of tomorrow.
08:27The Wedway People Mover, for instance.
08:30It's more than just a novel way to see all of Tomorrowland.
08:34It's an innovation in electromagnetic energy-saving transportation.
08:40Of course, in this future era, boarding a spacecraft will be as routine as hailing a taxi cab.
08:46And here, in Tomorrowland's Space Mountain, visitors come as close as possible to experiencing the thrill of a real race
08:54through space.
09:13If you'd rather do your racing through straightaways and hairpin curves, Tomorrowland can make that dream come true, too.
09:31The world of dreams can take many forms.
09:34Some project us into mysterious and exotic locales, far away from the everyday.
09:40These are the dreams that become real in Adventureland.
09:45You wander past the bazaars and small cafes, and make your way down to the boatland.
09:51What lies ahead is anyone's guess.
10:11A close brush with disaster skillfully avoided on the jungle cruise.
10:18From the perils of the jungle to this far away port of call, Caribbean Plaza is the setting for some
10:25of the world's most exotic tropical treasures.
10:48Did someone mention treasure?
10:50Beware.
10:51The pirates of the Caribbean.
10:54The pirates of the Caribbean.
11:07These are the rowdiest rogues ever to sail the high seas, plundering and pillaging as though it were some grand
11:14sport.
11:15No wonder they sail under the Jolly Roger.
11:31The year is 1850, as a proud sternwheeler makes its way up the rivers of America.
11:38This is Frontierland, where the spirit of the American pioneers still prevails.
11:44Here on the frontier, people worked hard, but they played hard, too.
11:51Here is the film.
11:52That is what you will be your favorite fan.
11:55The Death of the Caribbean.
11:56The Death of the Caribbean.
12:04The Death of the Caribbean.
12:13The Death of the Caribbean.
12:41The frontier had its own special brand of adventure.
12:49Like riding a runaway mine car through the twisting, turning canyons and chasms of the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.
13:01Of course, Frontierland doesn't represent everything exactly as it was in the old American West.
13:07Look what happens when you take a bunch of down-home country bears and touch them with magic.
13:34In almost every colonial town, there was one old house, scarcely noticed by day but carefully avoided by night.
13:42It was always ramshackled, seemingly abandoned, and thoroughly rumored to be a haunted mansion.
13:50Liberty Square's haunted mansion is just as foreboding.
13:54A peculiar chill shivers through you, the hairs on your neck stand straight up, and you feel someone is watching
14:02as you hasten past the family plot.
14:04The massive open door creaks open, and your host urges you to step lively.
14:13Others are just dying to get in.
14:16voi nose door creaks open, and there is no common homicide orowner.
14:43In in the evening, I received a speciality of the haunted mansion.
14:46liberty square presents a more serious side of our heritage perhaps the greatest dream to ever
14:53fire the imagination was the dream of a new nation founded in freedom the birthplace of this dream
15:02is recreated in liberty square here is a vision of colonial life as seen by paul revere patrick
15:10henry or benjamin franklin and here patriots have assembled to reaffirm their faith in liberty
15:20and justice for all and lest these words lose their meaning lest we forget these men have gathered
15:27the presidents of the united states to remind us of the ageless meaning of the word freedom
15:33as a nation of free men we must live through all time or die by suicide
15:42surely god would not have created such a being as man with ability to grasp the infinite
15:50to exist only for a day no no man was made for immortality
16:05the magic kingdom is history prophecy adventure fantasy and nostalgia but it's still only part
16:14of the dream called walt disney world though it takes at least two full days to see all of the
16:23magic kingdom the park itself is only a small part of the 43 square mile walt disney world resort
16:30complex surrounding the magic kingdom there's a whole vacation kingdom filled with fun things to do
16:37but that doesn't mean you have to drive to where the action is just leave the car grab the kids
16:42and go
16:43because once you're here just getting around is half the fun
16:49a complete and unique internal transportation system makes it easy to sail ride soar roar and relax
16:59through the whole vacation kingdom
17:32soar roar and relax
17:49dramatic and exciting resort accommodations let visitors enjoy it all in style and add to the total
17:55Walt Disney World experience.
17:58Guests can stay in the mainstream of tomorrow
18:00in the beautiful Contemporary Resort Hotel.
18:04Here, the Walt Disney World monorail
18:07glides right through the lobby
18:08for express service to the Magic Kingdom
18:11and other ports of call.
18:14Contemporary vacationers enjoy a wide variety of shops,
18:18restaurants, and cozy lounges,
18:20as well as a breathtaking view of the vacation kingdom.
18:26Another stop along the monorail circuit
18:28is the Polynesian Village Resort Hotel,
18:31a vacation dream in its own right,
18:33with all the charm and romance
18:35of a remote South Seas hideaway.
18:38The Great Ceremonial House is the setting
18:40for some of the vacation kingdom's most exotic scenery,
18:44with sun, water, and greenery
18:46surrounding the guest longhouses.
18:59Some people prefer a more casual home away from home,
19:03perhaps a secluded villa flanked by whispering pines,
19:07or a Lakeshore townhouse,
19:09or even your very own treetop hideaway.
19:13Walt Disney World guests have a wide choice
19:16of villa accommodations,
19:17each designed to make vacation dreams come true.
19:21And for those who bring their beds with them,
19:24there's the rustic charm
19:25of Fort Wilderness Campground Resort.
19:29Over 800 campsites are scattered
19:31throughout 600 acres of Disney wilderness.
19:34You can dream you're a million miles from civilization
19:37and a hundred years in the past.
19:40But all the comforts of home are right next door
19:43to make roughing it easy
19:45Walt Disney World style.
19:58A lot of the fun of Fort Wilderness
20:01is found right here in River Country.
20:04It's a newfangled version of the old swimming hole.
20:07And Huck Finn never had it so good.
20:29A good portion of the 43-square-mile vacation kingdom
20:32has been devoted to golf
20:34with not one, but three challenging 18-hole golf courses.
20:39Flanking the Walt Disney World Golf Resort Hotel,
20:42the Palm Course is rated
20:44as one of the 100 best tests of golf in America.
20:47And speaking of the 100 best,
20:50top players on the PGA Tour
20:52gather on the three courses each year
20:54for the Walt Disney World National Team Championship Golf Classic.
21:01But golf is just one type
21:04of Walt Disney World Sports Challenge.

21:37We've got sports for all sorts.
21:49Some vacationers' idea of recreation means relaxation, pure and simple, taking in the
21:55quiet moments and admiring nature at her best.
22:00There is such a corner of the world.
22:02Actually, it's an island in the middle of Bay Lake, transformed into a beautiful zoological
22:09garden.
22:10Discovery Island is a recreation of a tropical rainforest.
22:19One such resident is the beautiful Scarlet Ibis, whose numbers are actually increasing
22:25here in one of the world's largest walkthrough aviaries.
22:33Another species in the family way is the beautiful American Flamingo.
22:38Here Discovery Island personnel have reconstructed a tidal pool, similar to that which the flamingo
22:44inhabits in the wild.
22:46Even the ebb and flow of the tides is duplicated by pumping water in and out of the lagoon,
22:52an important prerequisite for making the flamingo feel at home.
22:59These characters and several other bird, mammal and reptile species thrive and prosper on Discovery
23:06Island.
23:07And they're happy to share their island home with other Walt Disney World guests.
23:14Recreation takes many forms, even window shopping.
23:17And Walt Disney World Village is just the place, with over 30 shops and restaurants.
23:24Ever dine on board a Mississippi riverboat?
23:27Well, at the Village, you can.
23:30The Empress Lily Riverboat Restaurant is a recreation of a 19th century steam-driven riverboat.
23:37Your dreams go back to the days when finery was the fashion.
23:40And meal time, an experience to be savored and remembered.
23:45But dinner on board the Empress Lily is just one dining experience unique to Walt Disney World.
23:51For those who enjoy special entertainment with their meal, may we suggest a top flight dinner
23:57show.
24:17Or something a little more exotic.
24:22Or something a little more exotic.
24:49But the night holds other wonders as well.
24:53For each summer evening, and during special holiday events, the incomparable Main Street
24:58Electrical Parade forms a dazzling procession of over half a million lights, right down Main
25:04Street, USA.
25:14When dreams come true, it's magic.
25:19It's evident here in the smiles, the laughter, the happy faces.
25:25The feeling that this is the way the world should be.
25:28It's that sense of being young again, no matter what your age.
25:33A reminder of a time when anything was possible, and still is.
25:38But more than anything else, the magic of Walt Disney World means having the chance to dream again.
25:46It's living proof of what can happen when you reach for the stars to make those dreams come true.
25:53All your dreams come true.
25:58Come on home where your good friends are waiting.
26:02Everything shiny and new.
26:06Come where excitement is playing.
26:10Walt Disney and you.
26:12Come home to all your good friends.
26:15Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Herbie, Alice, Winnie the Pooh, Mary Poppins, Pollyanna.
26:33You have a stubby little nose.
26:36And many more.
26:38You're invited to enter a world of excitement, suspense, surprise, and laughter, and
27:05music.
27:19And more laughter.
27:23Hey you mangy cur, come back with my car.
27:28Give me that shaggy dog just stole my car.
27:33And more music.
27:37That's just the way we like them.
27:39It's fun.
27:47And it'll take you by surprise.
