Walt Disney World: A Portrait Of The First Half Century

Kevin M. Kern, Tim O’Day, Steven Vagnini and Fabiola Garza

Walt’s vision of a theme park was first realised with Disneyland in L.A., but it was his second project in Florida that really raised the bar. Unfortunately, Walt passed away before its completion. Even when it first opened in 1971, it was a far cry from the sprawling resort it is today. At 40 square miles, it’s nearly twice the size of Manhattan, and welcomes around 21 million visitors each year. This stunning book celebrates its 50th anniversary and the special place it holds in many hearts.
