D23 Gold Theater is Back April 24 with “A Beautiful Tomorrow—Just a Dream Away: Disney at the 1964–65 New York World’s Fair”. The 1964 World’s Fair was a pivotal moment for Walt Disney, serving as a testing ground for new technologies like Audio-Animatronics and innovative ride systems that would later become hallmarks of his theme parks. You can now relive these moments and learn the history with Disney historians Leonard and Jessie Maltin in the D23 Virtual Series “A Beautiful Tomorrow—Just a Dream Away: Disney at the 1964–65 New York World’s Fair”!
The immense popularity of Disney’s four attractions at the fair demonstrated the widespread appeal of his immersive storytelling and family-friendly entertainment on the East Coast, directly fueling his ambition and providing crucial insights for the development of Walt Disney World in Florida.
