I love this video! Yay for the archives! I heard getting the monorails all the way to Florida was a big pain. I can't remember what state they were made in...
wow, truly amazing stuff... I love how the mk's on the "second floor" and how seven seas lagoon looked like a swamp before... but it still makes me wonder how walt built disneyland in just ONE year though!
Growing up in Orlando, I remember 2 uncles and 2 cousins working construction out at the Mouse House from 1969-1971. My dad said we probably wouldn't go there for years but we ended up going in Dec. '71. Best part of the day was my brother getting his head stuck between wrought iron bars in the fencing at the monorail terminal.
Anyone who says Disney doesn't really create magic, just watch this video and take note of how a bunch of Imagineers, engineers, and construction workers turned a swamp and a big pile of dirt into a grand entrance, beautiful amusement park, and countless stunning sights! WITH all the Cast Member amenities right beneath the feet of the tourists!
@Kartoonkid95 yep 1971 was Orlando Disney world opening day. 1954 I think was Disneylands opening day in California which I like both but, do like Disneyland better since im closer to it.

@Teletran35 I think there was a small one and Disney made it way bigger.
