# 241 – (9/25/)2011 – WDW Opening Day Attractions

Walt Disney World will celebrate it’s 40th Anniversary next week, and to honor the occasion, I’ll continue with our look at its opening day attractions. This week, we’ll look at not one, but two that welcomed guests on opening day in 1971. Both were simple pleasures that afforded guests unique views of the parks. And they also share the fact that neither is in operation today. Join me as we explore and examine the Skyway and Davy Crockett Explorer Canoes.

Listen

Walt Disney World is filled with overlooked experiences, hidden treasures, and even a few, wonderful locations that are often missed by even the most seasoned guest. One such place can be found at the Villas at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, and is a quiet, cozy room filled with great stories and direct connections to Walt Disney. This week, we’ll visit and take a close look at the Carolwood Pacific Room. Filled with photos, trains, and some very intriguing pieces of authentic Disney history, it is both a museum honoring Walt Disney’s love of trains, as well as a quiet getaway.
