    Anyone who says Disney doesn't really create magic, just watch this video and take note of how a bunch of Imagineers, engineers, and construction workers turned a swamp and a big pile of dirt into a grand entrance, beautiful amusement park, and countless stunning sights! WITH all the Cast Member amenities right beneath the feet of the tourists!

      Is the entire magic kingdom above an underground cast member space? Or just certain spots like the center area

    FYI: Cinderella Castle is not built out of stone, but it’s built out of concrete, steel and fiberglass. The castle is built and constructed to withstand hurricane wind speeds.

    It's funny how so many retail developers give so little attention to the streetscape and facades. While many don't even notice, they would attract tourists and windowshoppers. that creates a safe pleasant atmosphere that reassures serious shoppers. There's more to it than fancy facades of course. I can imagine Roy trying to tell Walt that so much fancy architecture wasn't absolutely necessary. I said imagine. I have no proof that he said it, but Roy and others did think Walt's imagination and creativity was expensive to realize. Back on track. Look how successful Disney Springs is now and so much of the merchandise can be found elsewhere. It's the streetscape that brings so many people in.

    Growing up in Orlando, I remember 2 uncles and 2 cousins working construction out at the Mouse House from 1969-1971. My dad said we probably wouldn't go there for years but we ended up going in Dec. '71. Best part of the day was my brother getting his head stuck between wrought iron bars in the fencing at the monorail terminal.

      No need to. Better keep expanding Walt Disney World and make a 5th park and continue to upgrade the other 4.
      Cali and Florida are the only 2 perfect places for these resorts. I don't see Texas becoming as popular as these 2.

    well if he did I bet there would probably not be Epcot:Theme Park, Hollywood Studios and animal kingdom Instead they would have EPCOT the city of the future walt was planning but he died before it could even start and his brother could not carry on the project of the city and what only got constructed was the park and 2 resorts and now it has become the biggest resort on earth with 4 theme parks, 2 water parks, 22 hotel resorts, a shopping district AND PURE MAGIC.
