Walt Disney may have conceived of Epcot partly as an on-going World’s Fair where companies would showcase their latest offerings, and indeed, Innoventions continues to live up to that ideal today. But Walt Disney World isn’t just about displaying museum pieces; many of these technological advancements are a part of the very fabric of the park. The past few years have seen a dizzying cavalcade of new gadgets and gizmos, all designed to enhance the Guest experience. We’ve seen on-screen animated characters talk directly with the audience, and enjoyed interactive queues that are almost as much fun as the attractions themselves. We’ve seen Talking Mickeys and Glowing Hats that magically react to our surroundings, and even MagicBands that allow us to enter our resort rooms, enter the parks, and even interact with fun-filled quests. It’s all very cool, and all very exciting. Even our online options are rapidly expanding, with the ability to make dining reservations, check attraction wait times, and even reserve FastPasses, all at the tips of our fingers. Yes, the technology is amazing, and it all serves to add to the magic that surrounds us throughout our Disney experience. But sometimes there’s no substitute for good-old fashioned traditions and memories. That’s why, for most people, the most magical moment of all, despite all the new bells and whistles and techno-gadgetry, can be found simply by rounding a corner and looking up. And there it is. That castle. That breathtaking moment when you realize that fairy tales do come true and your heart skips a beat. That’s the moment that truly brings the experience home.

  • This Was a Time of Both Turmoil and Prosperity for America
    Lillie, Disney, 1 Cleansing the Past, Selling the Future: Disney’s Corporate Exhibits at the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair Jonathan J. M. Lillie JOMC 242 History Paper 5/3/02 Park Doctoral Fellow The School of Journalism and Mass Communication The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Lillie, Disney, 2 Abstract This paper offers a historical analysis of Disney’s corporate exhibits at the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair, GE’s “Carousel of Progress” and Ford’s “Magic Skyway,” in an attempt to consider their historical and cultural significance. The coming together of Disney’s legacy of nostalgic entertainment achieved via his desire and skill in “improving” the past and future with the equally strong desire of corporate giants to sell themselves and their products is presented here as a case study of the processes of cultural creation: how and why specific discourses of technology and consumption are written in to these narratives of the past and the future. Introduction Between April 22, 1964 and October 17, 1965 fifty-one million people experienced the New York World’s Fair.1 The mid-1960s was a time of both turmoil and prosperity for America. President Kennedy had been assassinated only months before the Fair’s opening. In southern states such as Alabama the civil rights protest movement was drawing national attention. While cold war tensions remained high following the Cuban Missile Crisis, the nation was enjoying the height of postwar economic prosperity and geo-political power. The Fair’s twin themes of “Man’s Achievements in an Expanding Universe” and “A Millennium of Progress” captured the exuberance of the times, celebrating “the boundless potential of science and technology for human betterment.”2 The 1939 New York World’s Fair was in many ways a predecessor to the 1964-65 exhibition.
