Walt Disney World is a tribute to the philosophy and life of Walter Elias Disney... and to the talents, the dedication, and the loyalty of the entire Disney organization that made Walt Disney's dream come true. May Walt Disney World bring Joy and Inspiration and New Knowledge to all who come to this happy place... a Magic Kingdom where the young at heart of all ages can laugh and play and learn — together. Dedicated this 25th day of October, 1971. Roy O. Disney

Did anyone listen to the WDW Radio podcast from the 21st of September? One of the contestants had a fantastic story about the partner's statue and the one of Roy and Mini at the front of the park. If you missed it, take a listen (it's worth it!).

FWIW, click the following link for a pic of the speech. (http://www.startedbyamouse.com/archives ... DW02.shtml)

Yes, happy birthday. And thanks to Roy for seeing this through!
AND, Happy Birthday to the Contemporary Resort!

That story about the partners statue was VERY moving. I had no idea that there was that much story behind it.
