Some Disney history at Amazon...

[catrancher]

As many of you undoubtedly know, Walt Disney had a significant amount of presence at the 1964 World's Fair in New York.

I have a special interest in it since I was, in fact, at the Fair and saw all of the Disney sponsored or created attractions (Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln, Carousel of Progress, It's a Small World, and Ford Magic Skyway).

Anyway, thanks to following some links in a post that our own Sarah made, I ran across this at Amazon:

Walt Disney and the 1964 World's Fair

I've already ordered my copy. Strange, but I actually remember much of this music.

If you're not familiar with what Walt Disney brought to the 1964 New York World's Fair, here's a link to some Youtube videos that will provide you with a fascinating glimpse of Disney history.

Thanks for the link! The box set looks excellent.
I listended to the samples of the 1890's, 1920 & 1930 versions of GBBTomorrow. Fabulous! If the exchange rate improves I'd like to buy that.
