Today, we return to our Disney Documentary Hour segment here on Disney Avenue with a wonderful vintage Disney World film I think you're really going to enjoy. It's called The Magic of Walt Disney World and it's a 1972 short film promoting the Walt Disney World resort. It was originally released to theaters by Buena Vista Distribution on December 20, 1972 alongside the film Snowball Express. An expanded and updated version aired on The Wonderful World of Disney in 1974. Continue after the page break and enjoy The Magic of Walt Disney World...

This is my absolute favorite vintage Disney film. It features some AMAZING footage of Walt Disney World in its first year of existence. If you appreciate a good vintage photo of the Parks, you're going to go absolutely wild over this little beauty!
