Summary
This week on WEDway Radio Matt and Nate continue their 40 Years of Magic series leading up to Walt Disney World's 40th Anniversary with the fourth installment in the series, looking at WDW in the 1990's. Dubbed 'The Disney Decade' by then CEO Michael Eisner, this decade saw an explosion in the number of resort hotels and created two new category of resorts; the Value Resorts and Disney Vacation Club Resorts. This created new opportunities for you spend even more time at Walt Disney World.
In addition to the new resorts we also saw new additions/refurbishments at different theme parks including: Tomorrowland 1994 at the Magic Kingdom, Sunset Boulevard at the Studios, A Remodel of Future World.
The 1990's saw the addition of the 4th WDW theme park, Animal Kingdom. On the show, Nate explains why there arent more Animal Kingdom shows on WEDway Radio.
Enjoy!
