The Forgotten Disney World Airport Location - EPCOT Original Plans & Correcting A Small Mistake

[@FairyChild_For_Freedom-Justice]

You know everyone does the Disney videos but the ones you been doing the past couple of days have been amazing. The history of Disney is so important and people need to know about it thank you Adam for doing all your research taking the time in the effort to give us the history.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Thanks so much ! I wish more would bring attention to it but there’s a few of us that dig up some history

@@TheDailyWoo Be careful - a famous Historian (Barbara Tuchman) once said "Research is endlessly seductive" and in my experience (and four unfinished books not published because "they need more research") she was very right!

[@TheHobbyistNovice]

Sir, I have to say your content this year has been fascinating. There is no vlogger I look forward to watch each day more. The history stuff is awesome !

[@NadaSurferTube]

A bit beautiful and bittersweet how much Walt wanted this EPCOT happen, a dream he knew would be part of his final contribution to the Disney family's legacy. Having that easily accessible airport of tomorrow was just as much an important part of his vision of a model utopia as everything else that eventually never saw the light of day... He really wanted to make the world a better place.

[@McCracken257]

You are not the only one that gets excited about all the history! I am have loving these videos lately! Thank you for sharing it with us

[@a.u.2035]

This is absolutely Adam the Woo at his finest - the hunt for old historic relics and landmarks! I love this stuff - and why I subscribed many years ago!

[@TheDailyWoo]

Thank you that’s very kind of you to say

[@celiamartin2907]

I hope he will meet up and say hi when in Tennessee.

[@MyBackyardScience]

We really love the historical vlogs, Adam. Looks like that visit to the library this week provided some new inspiration. An early Happy Birthday to you, Adam 🙂

[@garyglazis5941]

Your enthusiasm for all your adventures is so contagious, especially the Disney ones. You are definitely a master of your craft and your knowledge and research skills of all your adventures should be recognized. Thank you! Happy Birthday to you (tomorrow).

[@MikeyMcKernan]

So stoked you started going to the library! They will always be the best to find research. Sources for videos can be endless. Bravo.

[@JohnSmith-ig4gb]

Loving the content over the last couple days and your time, effort and research and digging up those old photos and seeing the initial ideas of WDW! Thx for the time and effort to show us the exciting history and folks involved with Walt’s/ Roy’s ideas! Airport of the world amazing!

[@miker.2148]

Hey Disney, hire Adam to do promoting. No one does it better. Why Adam doesn’t have a show of his own already, is mind numbing. Your the best Adam !

[@candarianpumpkin]

Yes! Puttin' some mileage on the library card. Glad you did further research. The vintage satellite view is fantastic. Makes sense that they would continue to develop the area where the house had been. That was enjoyable. Thanks for sharing the history.

[@daronmarkley826]

Once again Adam you amaze me with how much work you put into researching the subject matter that you are covering so you can get the most accurate documentation and again I’m always fascinated with how much time you put in to getting the most accurate photos to match up to what it is you are referring to and the photos always help me understand what it is you showing thanks it was a fascinating day filled with knowledge now with that being said peace ☮️ love ❤️ and happiness to you Adam and I’ll see you on the next vlog adventure wherever it takes you also please be safe out there peace ☮️ out ✌️

[@JerryGeorge1966]

These are the kind of videos I really like from you. The research put into this was awesome. I love being able to see what was and how it looks today. Great job Adam.

[@tanyatortorich6861]

I swear Walt was a time traveler or something. His thinking was so ahead of his time. It is absolutely fascinating to see how far his visions have taken off and the fact that he never gave up on his dreams….

[@ericwilliams8038]

I really like the behind the scenes Disney info and the way you compare the historical aerial photos and current day locations. Very cool finding out about the plan for the airport in the triangle of land at the interchange.

[@Starryeyed1801]

Great job Adam!! Love that you bring history back to life!

[@andythezoo1074]

Since my newest was born I've missed you and your videos. My friend you have kept me going in some dark times and some bright times for that I am thankful 😊. You were the first KZbin creator I showed my kids and the longest subscription I've been involved in. Thanks for your time and energy Mr. Woo it's not for naught 😎

[@carriep6544]

Since u started going to that library it's made my mind think and wanna know more.. so I went to my local Barnes and nobles and found a book I was in aww reading it, looking at pictures. It was written from the Orlando sentinel. It's just amazing. Thanks for all the hard work and making my mind go crazy wanting to know more!!

[@mrsc-b_adventures_of_m_and_e]

We met you at Epcot on the 5th, thanks so much for stopping and speaking with us and having a picture with us. We’ve followed you for ages and love your videos. We go home today 😢 but have lots of your videos to catch up on so it’s not all bad!

[@tiffaneycupps1288]

I absolutely love these kind of videos of yours! I am a history buff as well, and have spent hours looking at maps and going down rabbit holes. Your enthusiasm is palpable.

[@lydiaelmore7606]

First off: love the throw back shirt. "Rirruto?" "Rizzuto is not a word! He's a baseball player! You're cheating!" Second: we always look forward tonyour videos and love the historic content! I paused this video so many times to see the details of the maps and news papers. Thank you so much! I'd love to see more of this stuff.

[@brianjdu4]

Fantastic job, Adam! Love the historical references. Finally made a visit to Celebration a few weeks ago and walked down Water Street! Keep up the great work. Best wishes from New Orleans!

[@PickledPretzels]

Fantastic, fantastic vlog here, Adam! Chock full of things most of us probably never knew about. Thanks for your research on this one! Cool stuff!

[@FlyBoyBigBlue]

Ahhhh, Adam! You were soooo close to the spot, and it’s marked. I’m a long time CM currently homed at Saratoga Springs Resort. The spot where the house used to be is marked with a big dark pink “hidden Mickey” on the light pink building that you can barely see through the bushes @22:59 . In fact, you’re basically pointing the camera just right of it. Since you’re DVC you can check it out, just say you’re going to the preview center, but you can see it clear as day on the side of the building facing the parking lot. These info vids are always awesome! Thanks for the excellent content!

[@roxannesimpson5736]

I love you teaching us history. Very interesting. Thanks Adam.

Would you like to try Buzz? Best movie ever!

[@gc4644]

Great analysis and research, thanks for the hard work! I have little doubt that if Walt would have lived even another 5-10 years longer, alot of WDW would indeed be alot different than it is now. The guy was a true visionary and genius!

[@leamarie1974]

Oh, the history of it all! Thank you for sharing your findings! I'm inspired to go see these areas in person. Also, I'll have to start exploring the Orange County Library downtown.

Epcot Center is my favorite. Very interesting info. Thanks Adam!

[@ainsleyperry5192]

Adam, It was interesting to see Walt's overall plan for the airport. Back in 1966 when you look at the airport you can see they had already planned for two runways. At this time in the U.S. the number of airports that had two runways could be counted on the fingers of one hand. Air travel at this time was still a luxuary that most could only hope to do some day.When Walt's plans for WDW were announced a lot of so-called experts said it would loose money because people would'nt go on holiday very often. Back then families might only make one or two big holiday trips in all the time the kid's were growing up. These day's people are on holiday more than they work. Cheers, Chris Perry.

[@joeruppert1240]

Quite the detective sir. Surprisingly, I really enjoyed these videos. Cool to see you so excited about your discovery. Nice to see someone really care about their home history. Thanks

[@greggseiter1412]

Very interesting update. Just thinking of what Walt would have expanded and what he and Roy had in mind if they had lived longer. They’ve had very good employees to carry on their dreams that still live on.

Awesome! I'm glad you mentioned about the dome and the underground parking. Walt Disney didn't want any car traffic in the main city hub so even delivery trucks would park underground

[@joebinienda5283]

Thank you! Thank you! Being a sort of history buff I love this video. You have outdone yourself.

[@dawngough1133]

Fascinated by Disneyworld aerial maps and photos. Always had the idea of framing some and asking visitors to guess what they thought it was. Stayed in All Star Music a few years ago and amazed at the distance from it to Magic Kingdom. My late father and I tried hard to get our heads round the route to no avail. Wouldn’t it i amazing to visit a parallel universe in which Walt had his chance to fully realise the vision?!

[@centralpacificexplorer3915]

This is very knowledgeable love things like this. I have went back to old maps of Georgia to find certain locations and then Google map now. Find what I find and share it out to friends and family. Its usually historical places. Done this to learn more about the county I live in.

[@DieselSgrass]

Great read on mouseplanet about his film.....The film was shown at the Park East Theatre (501 North Orlando Avenue) in Winter Park on February 2, 1967. The movie theater no longer exists even though for a time it had a plaque in the lobby that commemorated this historic film showing. The theater was chosen because it was less than two years old, could hold a significant capacity of people and that there was no movie theater in downtown Orlando...

We are really enjoying your history videos and has made us dig up some more info on the Disney Family homestead in Goderich/Bluevale Ontario Canada and get out there to film it again soon and update our original video. Thank you for the inspiration both you and @scottontape have helped us build the desire to get moving and filming again. We love that the layout is based on the town of Goderich Ont where his parents and grandparents grew up.

[@theguster611]

Adam, it's interesting seeing all that, but when you show things on your phone, instead of just saying "it's right there", can you somehow use your finger to point at what you are talking about ? I know it's hard holding the camera at the same time, but maybe put the phone down ? I had a hard time locating what you were pinpointing. Thanks

[@deniseolmstead6415]

lol "There's a crow right there too. There's a crow."

[@messngretz]

I'm a HUGE Walt Disney World/Project Florida fan...and I too saw the discrepancy between the initial location layout of the airport vs. the location on Walt's "Epcot film". I pointed this out to Disney historian Sam Gennawey and asked him about it last year, but he simply said that the layout in the EPCOT film version would have been the last scheme.

[@bobbyhand1]

HEY ATW...TO THIS DAY, YOUR DETECTIVE ABILITIES AMAZE ME! Is it something natural or did you aquire it over time? Some people can't take a map and see it in what they are looking. You take maps, sometimes with no labels and even just a rumor on the internet and track things down. I said it before and I will say it again. TheDailyWoo is the Lewis and Clark of the 21st century!
