Walt Disney is a very boring person. After inventing an animated voice, he directed his endless imagination to making the first large-bodied cartoon. After no longer interested in making films, he thought of Disneyland, in Anaheim - California, in 1955, but he was not completely satisfied with the results and sought a larger sketch. Therefore, Disneyland became one of the first sketches of even bigger, more expensive entertainment - Walt Disney World.

Not only includes a larger version of the Kingdom of Color in Anaheim, with fairytale castles, Main Street in the 1890s, Wonderland, Future lands and Border Areas, but also many hotels the motel houses a mass transit system and Walt imagines a prototype prototype community of the future, " EPCOT ", where there is no slum, deportation disaster and the result of modern technology. applied to everyday life.And there is still room for other tests.

After surveying the location near the coastal centers in the East since 1959, he chose the location in the heart of Florida and started buying land.He eventually spent $ 5 million to buy 10,927 hectares of marshland and flat grazing land, an hour's drive from Florida coast.But he did not live to see his adventure project complete.He died in 1966, still thinking about the details and fulfilling his dream plan, but he had to leave it to his wife and brother Roy O. Disney.In 1969, bulldozers began to shape in the area into a fenced-in enclave.People dig a system of sophisticated technical channels with a length of 64km to drain water - the groundwater is only 1.2m away from the surface layer.Leisure lakes dig in white sand.

Roy Disney postponed the construction of the experimental city because it was not feasible, but some of the scale planning and technical invention concepts still exist.For example, service activities and functions are separate from entertainment and entertainment areas.The land elevation of the Mystical Kingdom builds 5m higher than the actual ground level, creating a hidden city with many underground tunnels, shops, offices and service areas, creating a common kingdom For pedestrians, restaurants and above grasses are provided discreetly and effectively preserved.Garbage is absorbed by a huge vacuum system to a central recycling plant.Staff can change clothes and take breaks below, then return to work, they appear anywhere through special entrance points.

On the lake, there are 2 hotels overlooking the Mystical Kingdom Park.Polynesia Hotel 500 rooms with low floor and South Pacific style (South Sear) while Disney's Temporary Hostel is a 15-storey building with 1000 rooms.The A-frame structure has a Roman hall in the middle of the tower, implying a high technical future will be developed, emphasized by a monorail train crossing the hall as well as circling the lake, connecting hotels and parking with the Mission Kingdom color, as well as bus routes and underwater shuttle taxis.Both use the method of building hotels in the style of American mass-produced mass production and designed by architect Donald Wexler.The rooms in the hotel are prefabricated outside the construction site as units, including walls and bathrooms, loaded by trucks to the hotel construction site, then used crane to assemble the hotel frame structure.

Roy Disney was 78 years old when the Kingdom of Walt Disney was inaugurated on October 1 , 1971 , at a cost of $ 400 million.He used his last years to fulfill his brother's dream with heavy responsibility, and it took him two months after the inauguration.But the work is not as complete as Walt Disney envisioned.The Disney group must renovate Epcot into a theme-themed amusement park with a world-class fair, rather than a lively city.The ultra-modern houses show the characteristics of traffic (sponsored by General Motors), imagined (sponsored by Kodak), and the media (sponsored by AT & T), the geodesic sphere of AT&T sponsors the use of a theme building that does not make mistakes of the park.Around a nearby artificial bay, companies and organizations in Mexico, England, Italy, Canada and in other countries support the construction of many houses in native architecture.This Epcot version costs up to $ 1.2 billion;inaugurated in 1982. Two other theme theme parks were built (Disney Studios - MGM 1989, Disney Animation in 1998) as well as many hotels, motels, water parks, nightclubs and many other attractions.

In a tourism-shaped economy and culture, Walt Disney Kingdom is considered the norm.This model was re-created by Disney in Japan and Paris, and other entertainment businesses in amusement parks, water parks and wildlife parks around the world.As factories become the typical architecture of the Industrial Revolution, the amusement park is typical of our era.
