Live! With Regis & Kathie Lee - Live From Walt Disney World's 25th Anniversary (October 1, 1996)

On the actual anniversary date of Walt Disney World's 25th anniversary the ABC produced morning program Live with Regis & Kathy Lee broadcast from the parks. At the time, several ABC programs broadcast from the parks because The Walt Disney Company had recently acquired ABC. It was a trend other studios would later follow when Universal merged with NBC a few years later.

Hosts Regis Philbin and Kathy Lee Gifford kicked off a week of episodes from the parks starting with this October 1st broadcasts. Alex Trebek guest hosted as well as appearing as a guest. Other guests included Hillary Clinton, Olympic gymnast Dominique Dawes, and more. Many of these guests were involved with the 25th anniversary festivities of the day and week. There's also a segment on creating topiarires, something that Walt Disney World is famous for.

This is a historical document of what the time was like for those who weren't there or alive to experience it.
