Did Walt Disney make Disney World?
made Disney land in California, then he had an idea of making a larger version. He wanted something on the East Coast to capture that market, as only 2% of Disneyland’s customers came from the East Coast. He decided upon Florida after much research and secrecy. He did in fact pass away before construction even began on Disney World. A good source of information, if you’re looking for it is a book named Married to the Mouse by Foglesong.
