“That was then and this is now”

Saw a documentary on pbs some years ago about what went on with Orlando getting disney there.
Every city council member at the time still alive that voted for bring disney there including the mayor at the time were all interviewed.....every one of ‘em said if they knew then what they know now they never woulda let disney in.

They said they would have voted it down flat.

I remember Orlando before DW, used to visit relatives there. It was a sleepy town full of orange groves and I wouldn’t have minded living there at all....now....I haven’t seen the I-4 corridor in probably 30 years if not more....not to mention I haven’t been to “see the mouse” in at least that long, and I only live 2 hours from there.

I remember two days in Disney World when I was 10. It was a great place. No creepy attendants, as far as I can remember. Just great rides, a lovely place, great places to eat, and of course, SPACE MOUNTAIN!

Of course, that was back in 1977.
