Walt Disney World is an incredible place of dreams, magic and fairy tales. Since it is so, it requires one to often use a superfluous amount of words in order to try to describe the uniqueness of it all. But on this wonderful journey back into Walt Disney World’s history on television, as seen at D23′s Destination D event at Walt Disney World’s Contemporary Resort, there is little need for words since these videos speak for themselves. Looking back at it now from our perspective they provide laughter through antics that are purely 70′s, purely 80′s and even then purely 90′s (you’ll see what I mean). These videos feature Bob Hope, a young Drew Barrymore, Dreamfinder, Balloon Drops & Marching Pops all sharing with us the story of Disney. It is a sight to see and its waiting for you right after the break.
Round of golf anyone?
Make sure to look at Bob Hope as he takes the first steps out of the Monorail and jumps back at the sight of the enormity of the Contemporary Resort. The comedy skit was shot live and he had flown in and had never actually been inside until that very moment. Clearly it was like nothing else for him too.

The Original UP!
Well they don't build themselves...yet.
If you thought the Magic Kingdom Grand Opening Ceremony was something, don't worry Epcot's doesn't disappoint. It's hilarious.

More Dreamfinder & Figment?
If you thought the 90's were cool...think again!

This is great!!! I love this blog too. I love all things Disney, and you do it justice.
Thanks for the kind words. Truly appreciate them and I’m working hard to make sure this site turns into something special.
As far as the videos, they are simply priceless. When I saw most of them for the first time at D23′s Destination D, I knew I had to share it with everyone. It is incredible history that I believe, still to this day, is an inspiration for the future.
