INNOVATION IN ACTION – Disney Institute
1:00 – 4:00 pm, $99
From the first “talking” cartoon in 1928 to his bold vision of an Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, Walt Disney always pushed the limits of technology. His innovative ideas inspired the creation of the Walt Disney World® Resort. During this 3-hour behind-the-scenes adventure, you will hear stories about the early days of Walt’s career and visit a variety of locations for an up-close look at innovation.

• The Walt Disney World® Nursery and Tree Farm: See how Disney horticulturists create world-famous topiaries.
• Textile Services: Visit the state-of-the-art laundry facilities, one of the largest in the world.
• Magic Kingdom® Park: Discover the incredible attention to detail that allowed Walt to have his Guests enjoy a three-dimensional experience that could not be duplicated on the movie screen.
• The Utilidor System: Journey beneath the Magic Kingdom® Park to visit support systems located in the “tunnel,” a utility corridor that supports the park operations overhead.
