yesterday, tomorrow, and
fantasy”(Disney)

life” (Orlando Vacation)
Walt Disney came up with the idea for Disney World from his
original idea of adults and children playing together in one place.
He began his first theme park, Disneyland, in Anaheim, California
with great success and complications such as not buying enough
land to expand it with hotels and luxurious attractions in his power.
This arose a predicament for Disney’s company because he wanted
his expansions to come to life rather than other companies’ cheesy
hotels and attractions.

4. In 1959, Disney….
Bought land in Orlando
Created little companies to buy the land keeping it cheap
Took control of counties, so he could make his own decisions
Transformed Orlando into huge tourist town instead of “cattle
land” (Orlando Vacations)

5. Magic Kingdom
People go to Magic Kingdom for the
fantasy and the little kid rides
dreaming of being close to the
characters from TV. Magic Kingdom
accommodates that with movie-
inspired rides like Dumbo and The
Little Mermaid, so that children
think they are there. The children
become very happy when they get
off the rides because they think the
characters are real. A happy child
makes a happy parent! This plays
into Disney’s fantasy because he
desired parents to want to spend
time with their children instead of
waiting for them to get off the ride.

6. Epcot
Parents can have a date night
alone in any of the eleven
countries at Epcot where they
can experience each place
without having to spend a lot of
money. Epcot caters more to
adults because they appreciate
other parts of the world, and
wish to experience each place
whether it is food or shopping.
Also, adults can ride attractions
that bring out their childish side
while making new joyful
memories.

7. Parents can tag along with their teens without
feeling old because they can relate to
Aerosmith and American Idol, or travel to see
animals.

8. Improvements to Orlando
and Tourism
Creating more jobs
Increasing tourism
Providing benefits in the parks for tourists (fast pass, Pal
Mickey,…)
Special events for tourists to enjoy (Mickey’s Not-So-Scary
Halloween Party and Epcot’s International Food and Wine Festival.)
