Disney World Headlines:
In 1967, Disney World was still 4 years away, but with Walt gone, there were questions whether or not it would proceed as planned. It didnt proceed exactly as planned as it ultimately focused more on the resort part of things rather than the larger city that Walt had envisioned, but the project was not scrapped as Roy decided to push on and make Disney World a tribute to his brother.
A huge hurdle in developing the Disney World project was overcome in February then the Reedy Creek Improvement District was approved by the Florida Legislature.
Also in 1967, the official groundbreaking for Disney World took place (May 30th).
