On October 1st, 1971, Walt Disney World is opened for the
first time. This opened after Disneyland premiered in 1955. People no longer
needed to travel to Disneyland in California to experience the Disney Adventure.
This meant cheaper transportation costs, as it made driving to a Disney resort
within a day a possibility for many Americans. Tourism to Florida probably
increased, even though the state itself was already known for its tourist
attractions, especially the beaches. Whole vacations were planned around this
one place. Children of all ages were able to experience the Disney magic, and
parents were able to give their children the best present of all: happy
memories of family (well mostly happy; I'm sure there have been a couple memories
that were not so fond of Disney World). Personally, I probably would never have
experienced Disney, if there wasn't a location closer to my family than
Disneyland.
