My god, that chorus at the end was just beautiful. Their version of "When You Wish Upon a Star" might be my favorite version of the song period.

Had Walt Disney himself lived to see that day, I have no doubt he would be immensely proud

THIS is how I remember Disney World, Having lived in Florida during the 70s and 80s. I was even at the Opening day of EPCOT, about the 5th person through the gate! I have no desire to go back, sad to say.

Julie Andrews? That's interesting to see. The story goes that after Mary Poppins was a big hit in 1964, Walt wanted to make a sequel. But when he phoned her she said she wanted a big raise because of how successful the film was and he supposedly hung up on her. Walt was touchy on this subject because when Fess Parker made the Davy Crockett series in the 1950s he wasn't paid a lot so Walt agreed to pay him a small percentage of any merchandising which used Fess Parker's likeness. Turned out that Davy Crockett was the first vast merchandising success in history and that small percentage Disney paid him turned out to be worth millions of dollars and Walt vowed never to get in a situation like that again.
