about

Len Testa & Jim Hill start off this week’s show by sharing WDW’s latest set of surveys (which -- this time -- touch on annual passholders). They then talk about Walt’s first meeting with Florida officials & local business leaders back in November of 1965

Show notes: docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vS2e5OmpmiQ1aCL1CVi8zi5gpcO-uq2Er4RXBYJWVDCvPjJvuWeVRXxrbNHmOGGCGvQ0KsZiNdjt1kA/pub

lyrics

Listeners will also learn:

Why Kirk Wise & Gary Trousdale so enjoyed working with Kevin Kline whenever he’d come by Walt Disney Animation Studios to record additional dialogue for Phoebus, the character Kline voiced in “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”

How much money Walt Disney Productions spent in 1965 dollars to acquire those 27,443 acres that now make up the WDW Resort

Why should you perhaps skip a meal -- or three -- before calling Room Service at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and then requesting that a Twilight Feast be sent to your room

How likely is it that we’ll actually see prices start to go down at Disney World anytime soon

What did Universal Orlando just do which will then make it difficult for WDW to properly staff all of the kitchens at that resort’s restaurants
