Product Description
Disneyland Goes To the World's Fair is a rare behind the scenes look at Walt Disney's contribution to the 1964 World's Fair. It was here where Walt unveiled several unique attractions and exhibits that would forever change not only Disneyland, but greatly influence the future of Disney Theme Parks yet to be imagined. This 5-CD Set includes a 24-page full color booklet and more than three hours of recordings from the classic attractions and exhibits Walt Disney and his team of artists created for the 1964 New York World's Fair.

Progressland: Behind-the original World's Fair scenes recordings and original music from the Progressland Exhibit, featuring a never-before released production of Carousel of Progress.

Great Moments With Mr. Lincoln: Experience the sounds of the original Illinois Pavilion. As a special treat, you'll hear the original recording sessions of the man who gave Mr. Lincoln his voice (Royal Dano) and listen to the lavish original score by Disney legend Buddy Baker also presented as individual tracks.

"It's A Small World": Includes the original demo recording of the legendary song as well as isolated vocals and a grand master mix of the varied international interpretations of the famous tune directly from the attraction soundtrack. Also included is a tour of this charming "little boat ride" with Walt Disney as your guide.

Magic Skyway: Takes you on a time-traveling "road trip" with Walt Disney as he personally escorts you hrough the Age of Dinosaurs, the ascent of man, and to the distant future.

BONUS DISC: Carousel of Progress - Alternate Universe Version

This is one I'm gonna have to have! My earliest memories are of the 64 Worlds Fair. The version of COP from this is my favorite. Also this is where IASW was first shown.

A little history. When Walt was showing Great Moments with Mr Lincoln for the first time to the governors of various states including Illinois, the animitronic Mr Lincoln sprung a leak. RED fluid started shooting out from behind his head. This upset everybody that was in attendance! After that the fluid for the hydraulics of the animitronic was a clear color ( this was considered a major breakthrough). Needless to say Walt wasn't a real happy camper.

Maybe??? What do you mean maybe you should leave early . . . OF COURSE YOU SHOULD!!! Any decent person would totally understand your reasoning.

Give us a review when you can. I'm interested in adding this to my slowly growing collection of early Disney related stuff.

getting online now to order it. My DW just told me she spent $80 with Mary Kay. I think I can justify half that expense for something that will last longer. shhhhh don't tell her I said that though.
