Walt Disney World opened 37 years ago today. Happy birthday Walt Disney World! I think we should celebrate with a parade.... <br> and a some fireworks! Oh yeah and of course GO CUBS GO!!!
Walt Disney World is a tribute to the philosophy and life of Walter Elias Disney... and to the talents, the dedication, and the loyalty of the entire Disney organization that made Walt Disney's dream come true. May Walt Disney World bring Joy and Inspiration and New Knowledge to all who come to this happy place... a Magic Kingdom where the young at heart of all ages can laugh and play and learn — together. Dedicated this 25th day of October, 1971. Roy O. Disney

One of the contestants had a fantastic story about the partner's statue and the one of Roy and Mini at the front of the park. If you missed it, take a listen (it's worth it!). FWIW, click the following link for a pic of the speech. (http://www.startedbyamouse.com/archives ... DW02.shtml)
