“A provision of the Reedy Creek Improvement District also allowed Disney to build and operate its own on-site nuclear power plant.”
David Koenig, Realityland: True-Life Adventures at Walt Disney World

“Although Disney World established the state’s first 911 emergency telephone system, all calls went to company switchboard operators, who decided whether to call the sheriff or to handle the emergency internally, by notifying only company security or emergency personnel.”
David Koenig, Realityland: True-Life Adventures at Walt Disney World

“Ideally, Disney hoped to staff the World Showcase pavilions at EPCOT Center using an international version of the College Program. They thought that having guests walk into an elaborate recreation of Japan only to be greeted by a blonde-haired teen with a Southern accent would spoil the entire show. Plus, the program could help promote the rationale behind the cultural exchange of World Showcase—foreign nationals could bring a little bit of their home countries to the U.S., and then return to their homeland with a little bit of the U.S. Planners envisioned the program as the “greatest U.N. ever created,” which would promote world peace.”
David Koenig, Realityland: True-Life Adventures at Walt Disney World
