Summary
This week on WEDway Radio Matt and Nate compete our 40 Years of Magic series by discussing the 21st century. We believe one of the most prevalent themes of the past 12 years at Walt Disney World is 'Celebrations,' and we discuss some of the more memorable celebrations; The Millennium Celebration, 100 Years of Magic, The Happiest Celebration on Earth and The Year(s) of a Million Dreams.
Disney also created a different type of "experiential" resort with The Animal Kingdom Lodge. In addition to celebrations there were also technological advancements to attractions as with Toy Story Mania.
Finally, we discuss some attractions and how we lost some of our favorite rides and attractions (Journey into Imagination) and some refurbishments that we liked (Haunted Mansion).0
We are both happy and sad to present this episode as it ends out 40 Years of Magic celebration. We hope you've enjoyed it as much we have enjoyed making it.
