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?

Thanks! - MightyWhitey  648.3 #165 11:00AM
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  102.8 #3002 9:53AM
If I lived closer I'd love to that! Great tip for locals! :) - Duchess_SMK  3287.3 #11 10:12AM
I did that last year, it was amazing! - madsdad  1124.8 #73 10:15AM
Oh and my favorite part of the movie is the moment Lock, Shock and Barrel come over to talk to Jack. - poipolegirl  102.8 #3002 10:20AM
Wow so awesome. Thanks for the info :) - RickChavez  2186.7 #30 10:19AM

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  2186.7 #30 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  693.1 #144 10:39AM
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  944.1 #91 11:10AM
I highly recommend you watch it. It's very enjoyable and my favorite Halloween movie :) - JRDrummer_CM  790.2 #119 6:30PM
