How the World’s Fair Changed the Theme Park Industry

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Before we jump into the main topic, it’s time for a little Disney News! Oogie Boogie Bash does it again. Daisy, Clara Belle and Minnie as the Sanderson sisters is unbelievable. Not to mention Agatha and Ernesto in the parks makes us Disney Worlders (is that a thing?) jealous.  Rumor that Disneyland Paris is scrapping Galaxy’s Edge in favor of Pandora or The Lion King.  We’ve talked about it briefly before, but it’s finally time to fully dedicate an episode to the 1964-1965 World’s Fair.  Or Not-World Fair as you’ll come to find out.  And if you don’t really have the world at the “World Fair,” who do you have? Companies.  And if you’re a company who needs a creative mind known for great showmanship who do you need? Well if you said anyone other than Walt Disney here, you may be listening to the wrong podcast!  Find out how Walt made the whole showcase a success and got lots of R&D paid for on Pepsi, Ford, and other companies’ dime.  As always, thank you so much for listening! Don’t forget to check us out on Facebook and Youtube or submit a question/topic for us to discuss on a future episode or support us on Patreon. Have a magical week!
