How Does Walt Disney World And How To Make It Real
"You can dream, create, design and build the most wonderful place in the world, but it requires people to make the dream a reality", Walt Disney (Pulsifer). This quote means that if you believe you can do something, you can but it takes other people to make it come true. Also, it means that if you dream about making/building something and you make it come true, the other people are the ones that truly have to believe to make it 100% real and fun.
In Florida, Walt Disney is one of the main attractions that people enjoy visiting, because it fun and enjoyable.

were planned for the hotels, but after the oil crisis they threw them out because they decided it would be easier and less expensive. Even though Disney is a public place, they still have dead people's ashes spread everywhere, and they continue to spread them if people want that. They do that, because maybe that person wanted to go to Disney but they never could, so the last little pieces of them are going to be there so they technically go to go to Disney. Also, the people that work at Disney are often referred to as cast members not employees, because they are technically on set all day every day Disneyworld is so big that it is equal to the size of San Francisco and/or the size of two Manhattans. It is also technically on the second floor, because there are "underground" tunnels. Also, Disney is big enough to basically be its own self-governing city because it is so big and so popular (Dolan). Lastly, approximately 48 million people visit Disney annually, and there are usually people there every day (Things).
Disney's Past
The history of Walt Disney World was pretty interesting and it took a lot of time and effort to make it the way it looks today. Disneyworld was originally opened in 1955, but since Walt wanted to see if it was going to be fun and successful, Walt had let his kids start going there in the early 1940's (Greene 114). When Walt first though about building Disney, he hoped for an amusement park that was across the street from his studio if he could get the land (115). Walt had imagined building Disney for years, and he was tired of just imaging of building so he got a group together to start actually building. Walt wanted nothing more than to start building Disneyworld, so he started to build it in 1952 (117). Walt was also in desperate need of some extra money for Disney, so he asked TV companies to sponsor him and he got a lot of money for some of the names he came up with for Disney (120). When Walt was in need for money for the park, ABC guaranteed $4.5 million in loans if Walt let ABC own one-third of the park (121).
When it came to building Disney, it was the biggest project the Walt had done and he had to turn 180 acres of orange groves into the park (Greene 123). He also had the dream to have a turn-of-the-century Main Street, a castle, a jungle, a riverboat, a railroad line, restaurants, walkways, ticket booths, and clean restrooms. The inspiration that Walt got to design Disney the way he did was from traditional amusement parks. The construction and cost of Disney stressed Walt out, because when he wasn't thinking about the park he had a good time (126). All Walt did was stress and it got even worse when the cost rose up to $17 million and the park didn’t even look ready. Since Walt wanted animals in the park, he asked for suggestions on what kind of animals to put in, but the suggestions didn’t work out very well.
The opening of Disney was very special, because the kids were so happy that some of them almost cried (Greene 128). Even though Walt wanted to postpone the opening, he couldn’t because the television had been planned for months. On opening day, it wasn’t very busy in the morning, but the rest of the day became a "blur" because Walt was so busy he forgot what he was doing half of the time (129). A few days after Disney had opened, Walt had an interview with Ronald Reagan and he didn’t want to tell Walt that the opening was a disaster, so instead of telling him he hid it from him. The opening didn’t go as it was planned because there were much more people than there was supposed to be, because there were only supposed to be people that were invited. Since the opening was such a disaster, the TV people just started focusing on the good parts/times.
A while after Disney World had been opened, Walt became sick with kidney stones at one point and he was a little afraid that the park would never be officially completed the way he wanted it to be (Greene 138).
Even though Walt didn’t want any roller coasters at his park, he had to add in 1 or more to make it a little more exciting (140). Including the roller coasters, Walt kept a chart at every ride to see which ones were liked and needed to stay, and which ones were disliked and needed to go (141).Whoever works at Disney for a specific role but they outgrow it, they still are allowed to work there afterwards. Also, even though Walt was the maker of Disneyworld, he still has fun and interacts with the "guests" (142). Since the opening day, over $7 million has been spent on new rides and attractions. Also, in the 1950's Walt had wanted to add more than just attractions, he wanted to add more land and expand Disney but a shortage of money stopped him (155). Walt then saved up enough money and in 1965 word leaked out that he was buying land in Florida to make a Disneyland (157). In that time, the word came true and Walt purchased about 43 square miles which is bigger than Disneyworld. A year later after Walt had bought the land, he was diagnosed with cancer and passed away on December 15, 1966 (169). Everyone then wondered what was going to happen to Disneyworld and if Disneyland was going to get cancelled since Walt passed (171). Even though Walt was not alive to finish Disneyland and keep Disneyworld going, people strived to finish it for him
(175).
Future of Disneyworld
In the upcoming years, Disney will be adding new things along the way A 3D ride will be added on the land, and the guests will be riding on the back of banshees. They are also coming up with a "Spaceship" that takes you through time and you get to build and learn about things that you will need to know for when you grow up into the "real world". Disney will always be expanding in some way, shape, or form as long as it is open.
