Stories: By Disney



Walt Disney has been known as one of the greatest storytellers of all time. And for years, Walt Disney World has honored that and carried that legacy on within everything they do in their parks and resorts. I got to see just how amazing stories told by Disney can be as i went on the Expedition Adventure Tour. This three hour tour involved the 15 cast members being led around the Animal Kingdom park and told the stories that the park tells every day to guests who are willing to listen. The amazing thing about this tour however, was that he did not tell us the reasoning behind the story, or why Disney chose to use this story as their theme to the park. No, from the first moment he began speaking, he told the stories as if they were fact. And the beautifully woven tail of both history and legend that Disney has created for this park was so true and honest that it became almost impossible to distinguish what was fact from what was fiction. From the forests of 65 million years ago, to the Ancient forests of today, Disney has told a story that speaks of respect for all animals, from the ones who lived in the past, the ones who live in the present, and those that live in our imaginations.
