Walt Disney World's Birthday.

I'm a recent observer to all things Disney. Before they bought Marvel Comics I was a fan but didn't know much about Disney history. So while this probably isn't news to you...

I'm a recent observer to all things Disney. Before they bought Marvel Comics I was a fan but didn't know much about Disney history. So while this probably isn't news to you...

I'm just discovery things like this is Walt Disney World's birthday. In my research I found this fun sitewww.thisdayindisneyhistory.com

 

From the site:

On Friday October 1, 1971 - after seven years of planning - about 10,000 visitors converged near Orlando, Florida, to witness the grand opening of Walt Disney World. The Magic Kingdom (the only theme park at the time on Disney property) featured Adventureland, Fantasyland, Frontierland, Liberty Square, Tomorrowland, a Main Street USA, and about 5,500 Cast Members. The price of admission was $4.95!
