One of Walt Disney’s most ambitious projects would never move beyond the design stages as originally envisioned. Long before it was a theme park, EPCOT was intended to be a community that housed families and businesses and explored and developed the newest technologies. A new documentary, Walt Disney – Master of Dreamers will highlight Walt’s biggest vision as told by some of those closest to him, his imagineers.
- This October, Director Tony Cortese will be holding “An Evening with Disney Legends,” an event in Anaheim, California that will include a panel discussion between Bob Gurr, Rolly Crump, Jeff Barnes, Sam Gennawey and Garner Holt.
- The gentlemen will explore Walt Disney’s journey from the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair through the opening of Epcot and Walt Disney’s unique leadership style that inspired his team of imagineers to complete his last big idea after his untimely death in 1966.
- An Evening with Disney Legends will be held on Saturday, October 13 from 5pm –10 pm at the Highway 39 Event Center in Anaheim. Tickets are on sale now. VIP Meet & Greet tickets are also available and will allow guests to sit at a table with one of the Disney Legends or authors.
