Walt Disney Treasures: Tommorowland (Dvd)

During the 1950s, his investigation into space exploration and the wondrous opportunities and challenges of space travel came alive in several Disneyland TV shows. You'll also get a rare look at Walt's last film, "EPCOT," in which he reveals his concepts and plans for the Disney World and EPCOT projects.

Modern Marvels - Walt Disney World (Dvd)
an History Channel documentary
Clandestine land grabs. A maze of hidden tunnels. High-ranking Army and Navy officers. Secret technology, known only to a handful of carefully chosen insiders. Cloaked in secrecy for years, the project began as one of the world's biggest, most ambitious, and little-known undertakings. Walt Disney World is not only the most visited theme park in the world, it's also the most technologically advanced. From a network of underground tunnels connecting the various regions of the park, to the space-age propulsion technology called linear synchronous motors, Disney has been at the leading edge of theme park technology since it invented the theme park with the opening of Disneyland in 1954. Soaring castles, sleek monorails, life-like animatronics, Modern Marvels: Walt Disney World takes viewers on a behind-the-scenes tour of the ingenious technology and incredible engineering feats that went into building the 27,000 acre complex.
