Building the most magical place on earth was no fairy tale. Learn the story behind the creation of Walt Disney World.

 

In 1964, when Walt Disney and his brother Roy decided to build a second theme park in the Florida swamplands, they kept it super hush-hush. Why? Well, if word got out that they planned to buy up lots of land, the price would have skyrocketed. So the Disneys cleverly covered up their trail, avoiding the Orlando airport and even using made-up names, like Walt and Roy Davis, for their flights. The deception worked. In covering the history of the “Most Magical Place On Earth,” Joan Holub takes readers both behind the scenes and underneath the park (there are secret employee-only tunnels that form one big circle under the Magic Kingdom). Loaded with fun facts, this book is a great companion to Who Was Walt Disney?

 

在 1964 年，華特．迪士尼以及他的三哥洛伊，決定要在佛羅里達沼澤地建造第二座主題樂園時，他們將此視為秘密。為什麼呢？如果外界知道他們準備要買這麼多地，那麼價格一定會直線狂飆啊。

 

所以迪士尼兄弟們很聰明地隱藏他們的去向，避免去奧蘭多機場甚至在搭飛機時使用假名，像是華特以及洛伊．戴維斯。

 

這樣的隱瞞真的成功了。在發現「地球上最神奇地方」系列中，瓊安．賀洛普帶領讀者了解迪士尼主題樂園的場景以及背後的故事（在這魔法王國裡，有供員工走的秘密通道）
