Good morning! This day in Disney history, Oct 29th, 1971. A 90-minute NBC-TV special, The Grand Opening of Walt Disney World, shows the park to approximately 52 million people in the U.S. The celebrity-filled look at the new resort includes appearances by Julie Andrews, Glen Campbell, Buddy Hackett, Jonathan Winters, and Bob Hope. To watch, http://is.gd/2PXQmr ⭐
Also on the day in 1993 - Tim Burton's animated fantasy, The Nightmare Before Christmas, debuts in U.S. theaters. (The movie started as a poem Burton wrote while working as an animator at Disney in the early 1980s.) What's your favorite part of this movie?
Wow, this is great info! I can't believe it's been 19years since NMBC was released. It's still amazing on the big screen and I love all the songs. Anyone who has the chance to see it in 4D at the El capitan should definitely do that during this time of the year. - poipolegirl

OK opened up in browser so I could read the rest and my favorite part of NBC is when Jack and Zero are up flying in the sky :). - RickChavez 2337.7 #28 11:41AM
That was a great show. I liked the Julie Andrews main st funky dance. NBC favorite would be the What Is This song. Thank you for another fun link - Tealtownfan

WDW is an amazing place. I was lucky enough to visit there in the early 90's. As far as A Nightmere Before Christmas... I must confess that I've never seen the movie, but I do like the HMH decorations. Thank you SMK! Love the history! - MyPark
