Walt Disney Productions' A Dream Called Walt Disney World (1980)

Voice of Disney Dick Tufeld narrates this promotional film was released in 1980 for the brand new home video rental market. The park was only 8 years old when this footage was filmed. It captures Walt Disney World the way it was and many of the attractions as they were. Some of these places and attractions no longer exist. It also explores the surrounding areas around the park of hotels, shopping, recreation, and dining. This is Walt Disney World as Walt’s brother Roy and Admiral Joe Fowler built it. This is a historic time capsule of what Walt Disney World was like before the Eisner regime took over and Walt’s family was still running it. It was just a mom and pop theme park and not what we think of as Disney today. There’s also some very rare color footage of Walt Disney and Disneyland. The purpose of this video was to show families all that Walt Disney World had to offer so they’d want to plan a family vacation there.

Original release date June 1981
