Timekeeping: The Chronological History of Walt Disney World

Summarizes year-by-year events at the Vacation Kingdom of the World, starting this week with the planning and construction of the property, and running all the way through the 50th anniversary year, 2021. Each week, we’ll take you one year further into the resort’s history, chronicling the attractions that came and went, restaurants and shops that populated the lands, and historic and minor changes to places that are more “off the beaten path” around Walt Disney World.
