From America Sings and If You Had Wings to
Disney’s Groundbreaking Participation in the 1964–65 World’s Fair,
Guests Will Enjoy Presentations, Screenings, Unique Shopping, and
Much More, November 22 and 23 at Walt Disney World Resort
Walt Disney once said, “We keep moving forward—opening up new
doors and doing new things—because we’re curious. And curiosity
keeps leading us down new paths.” It’s in that spirit that guests
this fall will have the opportunity to visit—or revisit—some of the
most beloved Disney attractions of yesteryear. D23 Destination
D: Attraction Rewind presented by H2O Plus will take
place November 22 and 23 at Walt Disney World Resort. D23: The
Official Disney Fan Club will bring Disney archivists, Imagineers,
Legends, and luminaries together to celebrate fan favorites such as
Adventure Thru Inner Space, If You Had Wings, and 20,000 Leagues
Under the Sea with rarely seen concept art and images; vintage
video clips; and hours of revealing stories. In addition, there
will be a full day of presentations dedicated to the 1964–65 New
York World’s Fair, which debuted beloved attractions like it’s a
small world and Carousel of Progress.
Presenters and panelists include Disney Legends Marty Sklar, Bob
Gurr, and Alice Davis; Walt Disney Archives Director Becky Cline;
Disney and World’s Fair historians Bill Cotter, Stacia Martin, and
Michael Kelley—and more to be announced.
During the weekend, guests will be able to explore a special
exhibit designed by the Walt Disney Archives in honor of the
event.
The weekend will end with an exciting evening event—Pleasure
Island: Rewind. This celebration of the Downtown Disney nightlife
district will include areas dedicated to the Adventurers Club,
Comedy Warehouse, Mannequins, and 8 Trax. And of course there will
be a “New Year’s Eve” celebration to cap the night.
Plus, for the first time, Mickey’s of Glendale, the famed Walt
Disney Imagineering store, will set up a pop-up shop at the event
for attendees, featuring a selection of exclusive Imagineering
merchandise as well as limited-edition pins, T-shirts, and
collectibles themed to the event. The shop will also carry a
special line from H2O Plus, whose products are featured at Disney
