The 15th Anniversary is still a stand out for me, There was so much going on that year and "Classic" EPCOT Center was fully open. '89 & '90 were the last two years you got new things without losing old things... and it's funny how many times you mention "video arcades" in this, they were huge in the 80's and early 90's, they even added modern video games to the Main Street Penny Arcade in it's final years which was kind of disappointing

I'm only half way through! As a 76yrs young, complete Disneyphile, I've been transported back to a moment in time. How wonderful that all of the begginings, and transformations, have been documented for today's generation. And yes, I was lucky enough to ride the 'original' Figment ride in '98. This was my first visit to WDW, prior to that I was fortunate to visit DL on many occasions. Firstly in '71 and many other visits during the 70's. I'm from the UK and had a friend who emigrated to LA. At that time I also had relatives in SF, so many reasons to travel to the US. Looking back I realise just how lucky, and privileged I was. Thank you for this.

It makes perfect sense if you ask me. Going out to the theater takes more effort while here you are in the comfort of your own home, can pause at any moment and pick back up later if you choose. Also it's free so overall it's about convenience.

Do not disregard your ability to pause whenever you want to, get up and stretch, go to the bathroom whenever you want to, drink and eat whatever you want to, without paying ridiculous prices, and MOSTLY, NOT HAVING TO DEAL WITH SELFISH ARROGANT A=HOLES LOOKING AT THEIR PHONES DURING THE WHOLE FILM. THAT{s what stopped us from going, and the theaters NOT enforcing their policies…the others before that are very mild compared to the phone issue. It has ruined the theater.

Love this video! Most channels only focus on a single ride or show's history. I love that this covers all the changes year by year as the park evolved. I even love watching the name changes and it helps to correlate when certain things opened in relation to other parts of the park closing. I know your channel is WDW but I would love to see the same thing done for Disneyland in California. ❤

Finally got around to binging this whole video, fantastic job! I never got to experience the parks at any moment in this video (first time going was early 2000s), but man does it feel like this half of the park's history is the best period. The next 25 years has some good things, definitely, but I really think the Eisner era was the peak time for the parks, in terms of quality and new additions.

Interesting Fact: there were 2 locations Walt initially considered, Florida and Louisiana. On November 22nd, 1963, there was a huge meeting about purchasing a good chuck of land in Louisiana. It was interrupted by the news that President Kennedy had been murdered earlier that day. Not only did all Disney Parks close for the time, but the deal fell through. So Walt ended buying the land in Florida, and the rest is history.

In the future, since the 2030s, We hope these new movies. We saw that non-Disney cartoons series truly look like and fit to Walt Disney animation. So, our favorable Non-Disney cartoons series should be produced by Walt Disney Animation Studio. These new outer-media remake (3D) Animation movies surely have many sequels. The (3D) movies' title is ...... 'Astro Boy / Iron Arm / Astro Boy V / Iron Arm V' whose original designer was Osamu Tezuka. * The letter 'V' means 'victory'. Main Protagonist Concept • Name : Astro Boy / Astro / Adam [America, Europe, Oceania] / Atom [Asia, Middle East] / Adam Astrobot / Atom Astrobot / Adam The Astro Boy / Atom The Astro Boy • Species : The male teenage robot with human souls+minds and 100,000 horsepowers • Age : 15~16 • Nationality : perhaps South Korean+Japanese American Background : Metropolis of Shin York / Ship York / New Yoku * Shin York = New Yoku = New York + An East Asian City. * Shin [KOR🇰🇷/JPN🇯🇵] means New [ENG🇺🇸]. * Yoku [JPN🇯🇵] means York [ENG🇺🇸] * This is perhaps located in the same country with 'San Fransokyo' from Disney 'Big Hero 6' Series, so there will add cameos from 'Big Hero 6' Series.
