2016 was a busy year at Walt Disney World. While Hollywood Studios was nearly demolished to make way for the future, EPCOT received Frozen and a bent Eiffel Tower. We said goodbye to some fan favorites and welcomed new ones, and tragedy struck at the Grand Floridian. All this and more on this episode of Timekeeping.
Timekeeping will attempt to chronicle year by year changes to the Walt Disney World Resort, from the excitement of a new ride opening, to the minutia of a store changing names. Join us as we celebrate 50 years of the Vacation Kingdom of the World!
