Building the most magical place on earth was no fairy tale. Learn
the story behind the creation of Walt Disney World.
In 1964, when Walt Disney and his brother Roy decided to build a second
theme park in the Florida swamplands, they kept it super hush-hush. Why?
Well, if word got out that they planned to buy up lots of land, the
price would have skyrocketed. So the Disneys cleverly covered up their
trail, avoiding the Orlando airport and even using made-up names, like
Walt and Roy Davis, for their flights. The deception worked. In covering
the history of the Most Magical Place On Earth, Joan Holub takes readers
both behind the scenes and underneath the park (there are secret
employee-only tunnels that form one big circle under the Magic Kingdom).
Loaded with fun facts, this book is a great companion to Who Was Walt
Disney?
