When most people hear the name “Walt Disney”, they think of Mickey Mouse, classic movies, and theme parks.  What they often don’t think of, or even know about, are the many innovative ideas that eventually lead to the creation of the Walt Disney World Resort.  From the first “talking” cartoons in 1928, to the bold visions of an Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, Walt Disney always pushes the limits of technology.  “Innovations in Action” highlights Walt’s many accomplishments and takes you on an unforgettable journey where you’ll see, firsthand, how we make magic at the Walt Disney World Resort!

Your facilitator sets the stage for this 3.5-hour adventure with an insightful look at the early days of Walt Disney’s career.  Following the opening presentation, you’ll travel to a variety of locations for an up-close look at these innovations in action.  Here are a few of the places you’ll visit:

-         The Walt Disney World nursery and tree farm – See how Disney horticulturists create world famous topiaries.

-         Materials Recovery Facility – Learn about the unique system in place to reuse, reduce and recycle at the Walt Disney World Resort.

-         Production Center – Take an up-close look at the back stage elements of Disney parades and light stage shows.
