It was just announced that ABC News and Disney Parks have teamed up to present “The Most Magical Story on Earth: 50 Years of Walt Disney World” in celebration of 50th Anniversary of Walt Disney World Resort!
“The Most Magical Story on Earth: 50 Years of Walt Disney World” will be hosted by Disney Legend Whoopi Goldberg. She will take you on a journey spanning half a century and beyond at Walt Disney World. The show will also feature special performances from Halle Berry and Christina Aguilera, performing in front of the beautiful Cinderella Castle!
During the special, you will see interviews with iconic actors and actresses, including Anthony Anderson, John Stamos, Marsai Martin, Gary Sinise, Melissa Joan Hart and Candace Cameron Bure, athletes, including Tom Brady, Phil Simms and Doug Williams, Cast members from Disney World, Disney Imagineers, including Bob Weis, Mark Kohl and Ann Morrow Johnson, and executives from past and present, including Bob Chapek, Bob Iger and Michael Eisner, who have played important roles at Disney World.
Viewers will get to see how Disney World got its start in the swampland of Florida and how it has turned into a cultural phenomenon. Never before seen footage will also debut to give viewers a glimpse into the journey to bring Walt’s vision to life and a look at plans for the future.
Viewers will get a look at how Disney and the Make-A-Wish Foundation have worked together for over 40 years.
The special will also spotlight some of Walt Disney World’s most memorable pop-culture moments, from the many sitcoms that filmed episodes in the theme parks to the conception of the ubiquitous “I’m going to Disney World!” campaign.
