Have you bought your tickets yet?
I will be heading down to Florida to participate in the celebration of Walt Disney World's 40th anniversary. This is likely to be the only official celebration (or acknowledgment) of the monumental occasion--if you have the opportunity to be there, then now is the time to get your tickets.
Will you be there?
Let's take a look at the schedule for Sunday. (Seriously, Richard Sherman will be there!!!)

Making the Magic Happen

Opening and maintaining a resort the size of the city of San Francisco was no easy task and our panel of Disney Legends — Jack Lindquist, Bob Matheison, Tom Nabbe, Charlie Ridgway and Bill Sullivan — will recount what life was like making the magic happen, from opening the Magic Kingdom through the debut of EPCOT Center. It's a story of challenges, misadventures, creativity, and unbridled excitement for the leaders who inherited "A Whole New Disney World" from Uncle Walt and his Imagineers. Hosted by Tim O'Day.
