Tom, Slow down you are moving thru events TOO fast.
They have to get through 50 years of events
Thanks for this. Amazing Disney world was ever built.
The nostalgic historical videos of WDW are great, but the (sparkly background) screen is quite annoying. As well as the changing shape of the videos. Please fix.😊
I know this is going to be a great video.
Edit: I enjoyed this video, I can’t wait for more episodes.
Amazing video. Can’t wait for you guys to get to Horizons!!!! ❤️🍊
DeSantis trying to degrade Disney to the level of a county fair. He wants to put his pudgy Trump like hands on that money.
Thanks Tom. I really enjoyed this. Very informative.
Amazing as always! Just if you could speak a tiny bit slower would be even better 😁
You probably know that you change the playback speed on UA-cam. Although Tom sounds a bit drunk when you slow him down.
Yeah, we are trying to stay under a certain length, but I’ll slow down a bit on the future shows.
9:45 Fun fact: In the original dispute with J B Allen, it was fairly well known among his subordinate peers that he was not managing Disney’s money properly, with even some suspected embezzlement. Pete Markham called out his irresponsibility in a board meeting with Roy Disney with the expectation of losing his job. Instead, to his surprise, he was hired a few days later as the head of Disney’s new FL-based construction company.
Awesome work guys. Totally agree with the Horizons comment below. Now that will be one amazing episode! Looking forward to it!
Amazing Episode!
I wanted so badly to like this video as I love watching Disney history videos. Unfortunately, it's just a video spewing facts at the viewer at warp speed with nearly no emotion or inflection in your voice. The reason The Imagineering Story was so good is because the narrator spoke with emotion and it went into details and stories about all the facts that you quickly glazed over...I would strongly recommend on future videos to give us more than just bullet points, I would happily watch a video 2 or 3 times as long if there was more substance. Also, btw I am a huge fan of WDWNT just incase you are thinking I'm just a hater...
Now mini-trump wants to strip away all of this from Disney.
Fantastic! well composited; great script. The rest of us can only aspire... (seriously)
Great series.. Very thorough, love you have about Niagara fall I was there about the time they were looking there near the new power authority. Remember when (walkway of tomorrow) EPCOT diarama with the CNE one was under the rainbow bridge before WDW opened. Wish Disney would still open something there ,or some where in NY maybe Catskills ( they owned land there also for awhile)..Thank you tom and all..stay safe..love ya pal..
Tom excellent job!! Wish it wasn't so rushed!? I could hardly enjoy, it went by so fast!! 👍
Best thing you’ve ever done
Great job and while I've seen so much on the history of WDW, I enjoyed this very much.
awesome!!! we wants more!
Great video!

I hope a little constructive criticism is OK with you, Tom. This is a great series but you really need to slow down your speech a bit and adjust the video editing accordingly. You sound very rushed. I slowed the video to 90% on UA-cam and it was a huge improvement sound-wise. You may want to also try a different EQ setting on your voice so it stands out a bit more clearly. Otherwise, great job!
Lots of hirings then firings, then new hirings to build Wdw. ;). Payroll...paging personnel (as they used to call it).
You're watching: timekeeping
A complete chronology series to look toward 50 years of Walt Disney World! Looking back of the time 50 years ago
I first caught episode Number 14 and went back to and found number 1 to watch the whole Timekeeping process. Thank You.
Disneyland built for 7 m open 1955? Wdw cost 400 m (just the mk?) 1971 open. Whew.
Fantastic show!!! I cant wait to see more. Keep up the great work :)
Really enjoyable, but slow it down. Almost feels like the Micro Machine guy is talking.
I absolutely love this type of stuff!
Are you thinking about making a Disneyland history series sometime in the future?
the Florida film was the 2nd to last appearance of Walt Disney on film. he made one more brief appearance.
I predict that the parks will not exist in their current form in 20 years. They have alienated so many, increased prices so much that they are becoming unsustainable, they are losing uniqueness and they will slowly wither and I can seen some closing and the land becoming valuable development land. In fact Disney may well become nothing more than an entertainment and property development company with peripheral amusement parks.
Gonna love this😄
Amazing! Can you do the same thing for DisneyLand?
Excellent series! This is the stuff that I love getting into the nitty gritty of. Thank you folks!
Excited for this series!
Wonder how many nukes disney and braun raised money for
I Just Recently picked up "2" 1969' Preview folders for Walt Disney World...it includes a Pictorial program and stapled zerox paper info. Within a Paper ..School Style pocket Folder (one of these.. minus the stapled paperwork sold for $1050.00 in 2019').
The Magic Kingdom that would have been in West Palm Beach would have been on 45. Street & Military trail. Heard this on DHI podcast
Enjoyed your video. My father worked for a company that made conveyors and Disney bought a "spiral" conveyor to bring items from "underground" to the lounge on top of the Contemporary Hotel.
Fantastic video! Really nice work! Question: At 10:21, what is the RetroWDW video with the monorail fabrication? I searched their site but can't find that video clip. Thanks.
Wow. Driven past that AAU building hundreds of times and did not know that was the original preview center. awesome info :)
I recall seeing an article about Disney World in the Gulf Oil magazine they produced for Disney, I think that was around 1969. I also still have the commemorative soft-cover book that came out prior to it opening. And I remember seeing the TV special with Bob Hope as the host for the grand opening. My first trip there was in 1978.
Wow I can't wait to see the other episodes🌠🎬 I love Walt Disney World💙 and congratulations WDW for making the video👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.
My wife, sons, and I took the Keys To the Kingdom tour, and had the opportunity to tour the Utilidors.... Pretty cool!
Thank you for this amazingly detailed and realistic retrospective, when WDW itself seems trepidant to remember its own history.
I just caught the past couple episodes so I decided to come back and start from the beginning. This is such a clever idea for a video! It may not be the most in-depth or overly flowery video series, but it’s an excellent timeline and jumping-off point from which I could research a lot of interesting things!
I love learning about the creation of the property. That AAU building always stood out to me. It’s obviously older than everything around it, now I know why!
...and I had to wait until the summer of '72 to go. Mom wouldn't let me skip school to see it earlier than that. Oh well, better late than never. ;)
This was awesome. I am looking forward to this series. One question- can you tell me where you got the golf image at 8:13? I would love to get that print.
Excellent video! Really well done!! This should be submitted to win an award!
Fantastic job, love all the work you put into this. Looking forward to your next episode ❤
One word for your series, “Timekeeping”: Amazing! Thank you so much!
Excellent description. Look forward to additional videos
This was really good! Wasn't sure how well you'd make the transition from news to history but you hit a home run, hope to see this continue.
Great Disney History! Thank you Tom and crew
Beautiful WDW. Such a masterpiece.
I am LOVING THIS. BRAVO, GUYS!!
