I am going to be writing about a few of the attractions I feel many people overlook when visiting Walt Disney World® Resort. These attractions may not be the fastest, flashiest, or the most exciting at the park, but if you take time to visit these, it will make your trip to Disney even more magical.
In my opinion, the most overlooked attraction in all of WDW is the “One Man’s Dream” on Mickey Avenue at Disney’s Hollywood StudiosTM. I believe if it were not for Walt himself, the many things that make my life a little brighter would never have happened. There would be no Happiest or Magical places for one to go and just leave the rest of the world behind.
“One Man’s Dream”, now sponsored by D23 (the Official Community of Disney Fans), opened October 1, 2009 and displays over 400 items from the Disney Company Archives. When visiting this little corner of the Studios, I usually spend a quite 30 – 40 minutes checking out the displays such as the Disneyland Castle model, the camera stand used to film “Steamboat Willie”, plans for Project-X (the Florida Resort), and many other little pieces of Disney History.
At the end of this self-guided tour, there is a small theater that shows a short 15 minute film about Walt Disney. This is a must-see for any true fan of Walt Disney.
So, on your next trip to the Walt Disney World® Resort, make sure you contact The Mouse Experts to help you get the most out of your trip. And when you visit Disney’s Hollywood StudiosTM, be sure to take some time to visit “One Man’s Dream”. I know I will be visiting it again during my December trip.
