The one thing that bothered me about the show (and this shows my geek level) is when they talked about the construction of Disneyland. While they talk about the rush to get it open and its first months of operation, they show footage of things that weren't yet even under construction. There are flashes of the Monorail, the PeopleMover, New Orleans Square, etc. All these things would come later.

Anyone else watch it already and see if at least it was updated from last year's airing?

Originally Posted By FerretAfros I really liked it. I didn't see the very end, since I fell asleep, but it was a good show overall. I also noticed the construction mix ups in the DL segment, but it really didn't bother me that much, since there is very little footage of the original construction. (Remember in 1955, they didn't even know if anybody would show up in the first place) The other thing that really bugged me, was that they never talked about EPCOT. They talked about MK being built, and then they said that they build Wlat's last dream: Epcot. Although they share the name, they are completely different concepts. In my eyes, a WDW history-type documentary that does not mention the full plan for EPCOT is really missing a big part of why WDW even exists and has so much control of the land that it does.
