When the US ruled the world and were years ahead of everyone else. Visited there as a kid in 1981. Felt a million years away from the UK at that time......
Oh, WOW, I JUST saw the 1981 VHS cover of this on Ebay when I was just checking out the line of Walt Disney Home Video tapes that were put out then and I HAD to check it out just from the cover ALONE. WELL WORTH IT! That singing in the beginning and the narrator...LOVE IT SO MUCH! BUT WHY MUST IT BE FORTY YEARS AGO, WHY?!?!?!?! This is yet another video making me wish I was born in 1968 so I could have gone in 1984 instead of having to go twenty years later...even 1978 so I could've gone in 1994...! And hey, that awesome Walt Disney Home Video promo, shout out to Yesterworld and his equally awesome video about the history of the company because he used bits from it! I love Watcher in the Woods, Absent-Minded Professor, and Shaggy Dog!
This was made a couple of years before the EPCOT center opened, so this video was dated shortly after, but still a fun look at the resort prior to EPCOT's opening. (And since EPCOT opened, followed by Disney Hollywood Studios, Downtown Disney and the Animal Kingdom, it's gotten even more popular and magical.)
This is wonderful! Such high quality sound and video compared to others of this particular production I've seen on UA-cam. Do you think you'll do more of these? Like maybe "The Magic of Walt Disney World" the early EPCOT Center video? Thanks so much!
+Kanao Kanegon Hi! If this video gets good enough reception (and judging how many likes it received in less than 24 hours, it already has), there will definitely be more! I have an EPCOT Center souvenir video also that I found with this one so that video might be worth uploading too. Thanks for enjoying!
+WML95 The EPCOT Center Souvenir video would be really cool! I used to have that one. I also liked that you included the rotating Mickey Mouse outline for "Walt Disney Home Video". That was an era. Thanks again!
I know that Disney World was first opened in 1971. Anyway here are Disney World’s anniversaries through the years. 🏰💫🎈🍿🍭😄 10th Anniversary 1981 15th Anniversary 1986 20th Anniversary 1991 25th Anniversary 1996 30th Anniversary 2001 35th Anniversary 2006 40th Anniversary 2011 45th Anniversary 2016 50th Anniversary 2021
The Pirates of the Caribbean footage is also from the Disneyland version's opening in 1967, and you can see it includes the arsenal explosion sequence which isn't in Florida. Disney had a habit of using older stock footage where and when they could get away with it.
I remember when this came out! I nearly have it memorized, funny enough.
This was wonderful, mint quality and great content! The parks in the 80s were awesome, haha. Please upload more and THANK YOU so much!!
+Paloma Medina Hi, Paloma! The plan is to upload more souvenir videos very soon, so stay tuned! Thank YOU so much for watching! :D

Amazing Disney documentary.
