Came upon this video and found it interesting. It previews the arrival of WDW from an interesting point of view:

Thanks for posting.

I loved Whicker’s World, the guy was a legend. He managed to get interviews with some weird and wonderful people, but also some really dangerous ones.

Great find. Alan Wicker was a UK TV legend (Monty Python even did a Wicker Island sketch about him)

So interesting to see WDW and Orlando before it became what it is today, you forget what a gamble building in central florida really was in the late 1960s

I'm glad it came up on YouTube. Being an American, I didn't know about him. Now I have to find the Monty Python sketch, as I loved watching it.

BURMA!
