Today is a very special day in history as 46yrs ago today, Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World welcomed her first guests! The Walt Disney World resort is considered the #1 tourist destination in the world, and I couldn't be more honored to be apart of that 46yr legacy! Many people argue that Walt Disney never had the opportunity to see his Florida project, but those people are wrong! Walt visited the Florida Project site many times, and every time, he imagined his New Magic Kingdom! He may not have been present on October 1st 1971, but the Kingdom that opened its gates to the world, by Walt's brother Roy, was everything Walt imagined. On October 25th, 1971, just a few weeks after the gates to the Magic Kingdom officially opened, Roy O. Disney stood aside Walt's best friend Mickey Mouse, and gave this iconic speech: “Walt Disney World is a tribute to the philosophy and life of Walter Elias Disney … and to the talents, the dedication, and the loyalty of the entire Disney organization that made Walt Disney’s dream come true. May Walt Disney World bring Joy and Inspiration and New Knowledge to all who come to this happy place … a Magic Kingdom where the young at heart of all ages can laugh and play and learn – together.” Exactly 11yrs later, to the day, on October 1st 1982, the gates opened to Walt Disney’s Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow- EPCOT! Epcot is obviously not what Walt originally intended it to be, but his vision is very much alive in Epcot, and the future of my home Park is so bright! Today, Epcot celebrates 35yrs of Magical Discovery and I am so honored that Epcot is where my Disney journey began! Cheers to a magical day at Walt Disney World! I'm so honored to be a dream maker at The Most Magical Place On Earth! Mickey you've done good Pal! Walt would be proud!✨ #MagicKingdom #46yrs #Epcot #35yrs #WaltDisneyWorld 🏰🌐
