I stayed at the contemporary in 75...age 13.... just couldn’t get over that monorail going right through the hotel
way cool
I feel the same way. I went in 77 and I was nine years old. I felt I was in another planet in in the distant future. Unforgettable. ❤
The first and last time you'll ever hear a Disney Executive say, "...kids, thank god, are going back to beer."
😅🤣 I laughed so hard at that
😂
I was looking for this comment and it was right at the top 😂
Back in '72 I was 18 and worked as a tram operator making a big $2.15 an hour. Back then, one exasperated tourist after tired of the long lines, when the tram finally showed up, told one fellow tram driver, "You know what you can do with this tram, kid." And the response was "Sorry sir, my supervisor always told me never put a tram where I can't back it up."
My brother worked at the Crystal Palace in 1971 for $1.95 an hour and my mother for $2.35 at the Contemporary Resort. But, parking was 50 cents (today it is thirty bucks,) the monorail or the boat was $1.50 and admission was $7 a person. Ticket books were $7, and today they are not needed, but the cheapest admission is $139. You could get a room in the Contemporary for $21 a night, and today that can be $900. Many, many things have to be taken into account, but one thing is sure: prices have risen 40 times and more, but wages compared to inflation have only risen 10 times. You were much better off then.
The guy needs a brain. WHAT is the point of complaining to a kid that works for slave labor when he should complain to upper executives??
When I was 17 I was a huge Walt Disney fan, I went to Disney all by myself and camped out in a tent at Fort Wilderness. I knew who everybody was in the company, then one day I was on the beach at Fort Wilderness, and I saw Dick Nunis, I went up to him introduced myself to him. He shook my hand and chatted with me for quite some time. He seemed very amazed that a young guy like me knew who he was. But at that point I've read every piece of literature there was to read on Walt Disney, Disneyland, and of course Walt Disney World. He was a very genuine man for the 10-15 minutes we talked back and forth, leaning on the post and rail fencing that divided the beach area from the rest of Fort Wilderness Resort.
Yea, I worked at D.W. from before Opening for the next 4+ years. Roy Disney actually came to my Department prior to opening to actually meet and shake hands with every employee or Cast Members as we were called. It used to be a family company, which is how Dick Nunis grew-up in it. After that it became Corporate and by the time Michael Eisner took over he needed Disney Security to accompany him everywhere out of his office. And now they have hired Colin Kappernick to write propaganda for them. WoW!
Man did these guys predict the future of central florida. All the groves are gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
People are Strange.
Born in 1958 and was raised in Florida for most of my life, I witnessed orange groves and vast agricultural acreage decimated and cleared for profit. True Florida will never be the same. Greed always takes and never gives back. Sad....
ANOTHER thing that Disney has destroyed. Seriously, almost everything they touch, they ruin.
@Zazoo Kluk No, Disney's been destroying stuff since the 50s, possibly much longer. It's not comparable honestly. You know the famous "Jungle Cruise" ride? They stole half of it from The African Queen (Disney has openly admitted they got "inspiration" from the 1951 UA film). There's even a dispute as to whether Walt falsely took credit for Mickey (his early partner in business claimed for years afterward that HE had created him). If more people would study Disney's history, it is rather sinister and they've only gotten worse.
My dad told me years ago about how he remembered Disney land having cattle on it.
The orange groves were planted by farmers for pure profit. Not charity or goodwill.
It's not greed, it is population growth. Supply and demand. Happens all around planet earth.
People were so much more articulate back then.
They were actually educated, had morals, and had brain cells. Today’s society is half brain dead. Sad!
They also could answer and take longer than 10 seconds - this was the pre-sound-bite world!
It's nice to hear so many southern accents back then in central Florida!
I know but if you go out to places like Polk County there’s still plenty of Southern accents.
So far gone sadly destroyed by Yankees
I was born in Clearwater and lived there until i was 10. When we moved to Michigan I was told I had a southern accent. I have no trace of it now. So, now I live in Arkansas and people say they can tell I am not from around here because I don't have a southern accent.
@@rustyshackleford4046 My brother in law is one. Born and raised in Safety Harbor and now lives is Port Richey.
lol... the accents are still southern........ way southern.... way way southern....South America... :(
It's truly alarming that finding ANY criticism of the Corporate Beast that is Disney is VERY DIFFICULT to find. I don't like today's Disney, I miss old school Disney. The focus for their company is obvious, greed for more money. Once it was about providing memories for children and their families. I'm convinced that Walt would NOT agree with the direction his company has gone and continues to go.
Yeah but Ole Walt was a capitalist through and through. He was a very smart businessman and saw a niche not yet tapped into. Buying that land in Orlando is one of the shrewdest business moves ever made. But yeah, now it's up to the visitors to keep his original dream alive and make of what it was meant to be.
@@MoMoMyPup10 From what I understand, he was driven to create a place to take his two little girls. A place that was Family friendly and clean etc.
He quietly bought large plots of land in Florida because he was smart enough to know that if people found out he was buying land to create what he did in California, they would over-inflate the cost of the mostly swamp land he was to buy. That was indeed smart. Walt learned with Disneyland in California that it was wise to buy more land than was needed so that we wouldn't be surrounded by "gift stores and copy cats" etc. Preserving the magic and removing folks from their reality and immersing them into his "World" meant that it would take a lot of land.
They built corridors under the lands in WDW to preserve the fantasy of each by keeping the cast members out of the lands to which they did not work.
Pretty smart.
Walt Disney had an amazing, sometimes tragic life. He learned a lot and created a lot more. Ultimately, he was driven to give to his children and his Family that which did not exist. That is why I respect him the most.
@@stevealaska73 Can you please explain? Walt Disney and his wife had 2 children
@@Disneyfan1955 Explain what exactly? I thought I laid it out pretty clearly along with mentioning his two daughters. What did you miss?
Facts, especially with thier new ceo he is destroying it
I was 9 when Disney opened. I was taking trains from infancy thru Orlando as the anticipation grew. We would travel from Gainesville and go to SW Florida. US 27 and the Orange groves were a thing to behold in spring when the orange blossoms bloomed.
I didn't realize how beautiful that land was before Disneyworld developed it -
Honestly, with the way Disney's gone in recent years (becoming a near monopoly), you wish they would somehow miraculously go bankrupt so that Florida could scrap or at least downsize that monstrosity in Orlando. Walt Disney Studios: Ruining almost everything they touch, mistreating employees and stealing ideas since 1927.
@@thunderbird1921a lot of us are not mistreated for the most part… secondly… they have not been mistreating employees since 1927… Walt Disney was a kind caring man… do you even know much about this company cuz I’ve researched this whole company up and down… and I hope to God that they never scrap Disney world and downsize it. I work in this amazing place and it is honestly the best job I have and will ever work in my entire life!!!
@@thunderbird1921 Don't forget the corruption of children with their zeal for LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ+-÷ that is out of control.
@@CrownedGamer101 Bravo to what you say BEFORE the passing of Walt, but you are gravely mistaken on the status of Disney today. Like a cancer it has bloomed into a horrible pox upon our society and a predator upon our children. Cancers must be removed when found out. REMOVE DISNEY.
@@Dallas_K very insensitive. This is my job.
I'll venture to say that the good folks that was interviewed could have ever imagined what Orlando would look like 50 years later. Since our first visit in 1977 Orlando have turned into a zoo of sorts. The Magic Kingdom was set in the middle of orange groves. Now it's set in the middle of a concrete jungle.
Disney used to be a great company. Disney World by itself was never the actual problem as the mission was to create a happy place that was separated. The real corporate greed are those who followed and desecrated the land in an effort to either compete with Disney or rip-off as much of the tourist money as they possibly can. For a long time it was still mostly trees surrounding Disney World property but now there are countless cheap hotels, creepy "tourist" centers with bootleg products, a hundred fast food spots and dozens of advertisements for every other non-Disney property in the area, from universal to nasty clubs. Walt himself purchased so much property in Florida trying to AVOID that problem because that's exactly what happened in Disneyland (empty countryside area with a park suddenly overflowing with rip-off hotels and shops that specifically want the Disney tourists). Sadly, Disney's modern "leadership" has become just like all the others.
Walt was a great man. Disney was wonderful under his control. Now it is a grossly perverted and overgrown machine constantly "processing" children.
Florida before Disney was a much better place
Much Better!
I miss the old Florida with the roadside animal zoos/ gift shops and Six Gun Territory and Silver Springs in Ocala.. Not to mention Cyprus gardens, marine land etc etc..
You are so right. To me those places you mentioned and others like them were the character of Florida. There was certain unexplainable feeling you got, like going back into time that made visiting Florida so much fun.
yeah, more fun in pre corporate control days.
@Zazoo Kluk talked with a brew guy at a brewery in Winter Park; mentioned to him about Splendid China...he was surprised hear someone mention it.
Enjoyed going there...but just remember barely anybody visited.
More fun back then. Weeki Wachee!

Thanks for the video. I love watching history while it was happening.
And, almost 50 years later, the majority of WDW property is still undeveloped, with lots of space for the local wildlife to flourish.
It's something like 10-12% developed, right?

@@joedzny”Fake news” is merely anything that doesn’t conform to right wing dogma or raises any troubling questions when a Republican is in charge.
@@inkyguy or "conspiracy theory" and "right wing extremism" are anything that don't support and questions the narrative pushed by democrats, leftists, and mainstream media.
It goes both ways, that both sides disregard anything that opposes it. Why should we make "fake news"/"conspiracy theory" so political? Why be so narrow-minded and partisan? Everyone should strive for being correct and to learn the truth about reality.
God I miss my old Florida.Used to smell the orange blossoms in the air in the mornings going to school.Would pass by fields with Horses or crops of celery and greens. All transplants came and overcrowded and overbuilt and turned it into the cities they left. :(
Unreal. One guy had the sense to say hey let's not pave over absolutely everything so we can keep some environmental stability here. To this day I still don't understand why booms like this are not being protected from existing residents by City councils. It is not difficult to put a tax cap on existing homes and properties. The pooping problem(too many people) in Orlando is what's causing the issues with Lake Okeechobee in part at least.
1) FLA has tax caps on increases and exemptions for full time residents 2) Water from the Orlando Metro flows north to the Atlantic via the ST John's, it doesn't flow south.
@@bvcltd.3250 Wrong!
The beginnings of The Everglades start in Kissimmee, right where Disney world is.
Most of the area was swamp and orange groves. Most of that water used to flow south to Lake Okeechobee and the everglades.
Henry Swanson, you were right! Instead of City Beautiful it is an Action Center now. For some reason people always change flowers and nature with concrete cloverleaf
I think they dropped that "Action Center of Florida" sh*t around 1977 or so.
That Carl Langford guy sure is smug. Him and Orlando city officials always wanted big growth to come- and they couldn't give two cahoots on what that would do in the long term (which is a ruined quality of life and loss of Orlando truly being "The City Beautiful.")
Langford moved to North Carolina when he retired, but then came right back.
A Plastic Hell full of cheesy disingenuous smiles, synthetic merchandise, heart-attack inducing food and bank breaking expense
Very interesting. Thank you for sharing!
Florida has been whoring its land for decades. My family would take the Turnpike from Miami to Orlando, when we’d visit Disney World in the 70s and 80s, and you’d see nothing but trees, grass and other vegetation. Now you take that road, and some of that land has been built up. Everywhere in this state there is construction. I believe that in 100 years the entire state will be built up.
@First Last Miami is just like Hong Kong. Small one bedroom apartments going for almost $2000 a month.
That's every state. There is always a need for more housing and jobs. Populations grow. Nobody wants to live in tiny 50's tract houses. Always been mystified when people that do not own a piece of land grouse about how the owners use it. Politicians always have to look for ways to up the tax base because this country seems hell-bent on providing cradle to grave welfare.
In the process destroying what made Florida unique, its natural habitats.
I remember that too. Little family small farms here and there. It was one pretty ride. Now a fast lane with distant memories.
Wonder why florida is getting so hot cause everyone gotta have a air-conditioned mansion and 2 people only live in it. And then build the houses as close as possible to each other.
I can't say wdw is all bad. Through the years it has brought so many memories to my family. But,yes,it changed the landscape forever.
It has ruined Florida

In defense of the Orange Grove professor. Orange county has huge water problems. They wanted us (Jacksonville, FL) to pipe water to Orlando. We were like no way!
what a blow that was to the natural environment and ecosystems.
Tony Chavez you said it
Florida was a paradise.
Now look at today. It's sad
8:16 "Kids thank god are going back to drinking beer" ?!?!? What?
RobRamdisk 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Beer is a gateway drink...
He was talking about how California back then was reporting that drug use was decreasing and kids were returning back to beer from other drugs.
then CA legalized and collected more taxes than FLA and Disney?
RobRamdisk IKR I thought I heard that🤦🏽♀️😂
How prophetic. Mr. “Greenbelt” nailed it but it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out how it is gonna turn out. What a mess central Florida is now.
low tax utopia until visitors stop coming to pay taxes
It is quite disturbing that as every town grows into a city that it then turns into a hood. To me the main problem was the roadways were never designed to handle that kind of volume and traffic, and it will always be a nightmare getting in and out and through there. "Build it and they will come" has relevancy other than baseball!
LOL ... commufornia is your Utopia.
Where's the mess?
@@OrlandoStreets where isn't the mess.
To blame Disney for grifters and conmen in Florida is laughable. Florida is notable for these type of people. Just read any Carl Hiasson book. South Florida is worst because of the people that have retired from New York City. I remember Florida pre-Disney. We used to vacation in Daytona Beach every summer when I was a kid. My grandparents used to go to Kissimmee in the winter. Disney World was just as much an attraction when is was being built. I remember my grandmother talking about it and as I remember it they were giving tours of the progress before the opening during the construction.
Valid point! "Build it and they will come" took on another meaning besides baseball 50 years ago.
OMG people were thin back then, did anybody else notice??
@James Harold F A T dwarfs with butt, tit and lip implants! : l

@@RTCMAHL I remember dressing up to go to the movies or out to sit down restaurant.
Cities like Orlando and Tampa have grown and the smaller cities up north are dying going back to nature throughout the rust belt.
And then there's Manhattan which has gone bad shit crazy, I swear they have no idea what they are doing anymore, just building glass sticks every minute, I think there's..say? 23 buildings that are glass and tall going up right now... Maddening.
Born and raised in Orlando, watched Disney World being built, there on opening day with family. Then when we were fourteen, we moved up north to the "rust belt". The difference was like being on two different planets.
I remember seeing the plans before Disney World was built and the amount of wetlands that was planned to be eliminated was really worrisome
I'm not against progress and enjoyed Disney World growing up, but it's sad to hear about the negative impact its opening had on long- time residents of Central Florida. I used to live in Orlando and new people that lived there a long time that hated Disney World for it.
If they sold they would have made a killing on their investment. Why feel sorry for them?
@@OrlandoStreets good point, but i was referring to people who lived there that enjoyed it as a small community that now see it as the growing center of activity it is now, and seeing all the nature bulldozed for progress.
@@Rossturnerphoto Yeah, that makes sense.
Not to mention the negative i.pact of the current woke agenda pushed there and their predatory lust for children.

$149 a day to get in to Disney now (for Florida residents). Disney pays minimum wages (literally), sounds like the experiment didn't work out well for Orlando or the environment.
That is crazy prices. I remember when it was like $50
I remember when it was $25 in the 1980s.
I pay $360/year for an annual pass allowing weekday use, with free parking
I wonder how many locals were pissed off at Walt for this? I also wonder how many packed their bags and left Florida after this?
4:54 really great segment on environmental changes from development
the mayor was getting his pockets lined
I’ve been to Disney more times since 1972, I cannot count. That place is run like a well oiled machine. But I don’t see a reason to return and I avoid the bottleneck on that side of town as much as possible. If you’re going, I suggest Halloween or even better, Christmas. Beautiful.
Beer is a gateway drink! (8:16)
Any change as big as this was would inevitably be good for some and bad for others. And I have no doubt that a down side came along with the prosperity. From the other end of the country I couldn't say how they dealt with any problems over the decades. But 50 years later I don't imagine that most people, including Floridians, really wish that Disney had never come there.
It did help the Florida economy.
Made Florida rich. But happier?
Well, Disney World used to be nice, but the $112 ticket price for adults and the $20 parking fee is not that great. The whole area is one huge congested traffic disaster.
Yes, unfortunately the population grew so fast that the area infrastructure construction could not keep up with the vast influex of people.
Guess what. It's more than that already!!!! I guess parents took me enough that about once a year or so trip when Space Mountain built I'd already been there. Means parents did take me at beginning then.
take the back entrance on 429, don't take I4
And if you buy a tiny key chain it's like 20 dollars! : l
It's called progress. It's been 50 years. The infrastructure and industry that's grown up there would never have happened otherwise. I think the pain of its absence is probably being felt rather acutely these past few months. And, as far as traffic, man...there's nothing to complain about in Orlando compared to other parts of the country.
Its essential I hope to see its park at least once before I die. With my kids and grandkids. Always wanted a Disney wedding
You GOT to go man. It's commonly said that Disney is just for kids but I've seen adults, grown men even crying after the finale of Happily Ever After.
Please come! I’m a Disney world employee!! We would love to have you at the Magic Kingdom!! You gotta go at least once… it’s an amazing place!
Processing kids is the game now with Disney. LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ+-÷ agenda rules there.

He would have given today's Disney PR department a collective aneurysm with that answer. I get the point he's trying to make, but essentially calling local charities greedy when you're freakin' Disney is... something else.
First sip of coffee @2:22
Wow. Wonder what these persons interviewed in this would think of the County now a days
They are already turning in their graves.
The media doing what they do best, stirring up controversies where there is no controversy! So they can increase their ratings, they search to find anything they can twist. I-4 was already open, the roads in and out of Disney were all 4 lane roads leading up to the Magic Kingdom parking lot, but they showed a traffic jam outside of disney on a 2 lane road.
This guy knew early on that the Florida man was going to be born at Walt Disney World.
Wow....Nunis aged way better later on...

Four seasons mean Snow!
Walt Disney World opened in 1971. 1972 was post Disney. Not sure why this is titled the way it is.
I think because the film was produced in 1972...
October 1971. 72 was the first summer that people would be taking their family vacations there. I was there in 72 and it was very different from today.
It was a great time,a time when we had CARS!!!
Disney was a Great Talented Man....Pure Americana success Story....

"No, because they won't give us free money."

They're building Brightline train station, so that should help. I would gladly drive to Palm Beach to board then ride the train into Orlando.
I visited DW the year it opened. I've been back many times. i refuse to go now as they nickel and dime you to death. They'd charge for air and water if they could get away with it. Corporate Greed and lack of vission is Disney's huge problem and it might kill them off in time.

You just have to know where to look. But I agree. Concrete is replacing Oak Trees.
All of America would be like this if they had lower tax and more ownership
It's very interesting that there is so much talk about "clean people" vs. "people who bring problems".
Yes. Agreed. I would venture to say that on ANY Disney property, there is virtually no crime (except for the occasional bathroom/attraction drug use and store theft. But, that's what Disney security is for).
If you do do ANYTHING on Disney property, lord help you.
Sheriffs SURROUND Disney Springs. Many, many of them.

There is no perfect place to live. EVERYWHERE has its ups and its downs.
Celebration is very, very quiet and out of the way. Like anywhere else Disney dreamt up, it's an entire world unto its own.
I can absolutely focus on what I need to, without helicopters flying overhead, police driving down the street, etc... It really is lovely.
