In this class, students will learn about how Walt Disney conceived of Walt Disney World and how its construction is different from that of Disneyland in California. Further, we will explore how Disney World expanded with later parks, including EPCOT, through which we will discuss Walt's desire for a "land of tomorrow," Hollywood Studios, and how Disney started animating films at this park, and Animal Kingdom, and the struggles of keeping live animals in the park. We will discuss theming at each of the parks and how Disney imagineers keep the magic alive! We will also touch on the Disney hotels and how their themes were constructed and conceived. Overall, students will be able to discuss the basic history of the parks and their origins!
