Changes

On One year after Walt Disney's death on December 15, 1966, the The Walt Disney Company began construction on the Florida Project. Walt's brother Roy took charge of the project and carried on his brothers dream Although Walt had died before construction started his influence on the park is apparent. A major problem that Walt had with Disneyland is that guests were exposed to the day to day operations of the parks. Walt told the story that one day in Tommorowland he saw a cowboy from Frontierland walking by heading to the costume room. Walt felt that this ruined the magic of the futuristic Tommorowland and wanted to do better in the Florida Project. Another problem Walt saw in Disneyland was that guests were exposed to the day to day operations of the park. Walt said he once saw a family leave because they could see that traffic was getting congested while riding the Skyway.

Another upgrade to the Magic Kingdom, was the Avac Systems. The Avac systems which were devolved in Sweden. They were a trash collecting system which allowed garbage to be suctioned away through a series a tubes, to a dumping point. This allowed the cast members to keep the trash under control and out of the view of the guests. Because of Florida's water table, the utilidoors could not be built underground. Instead, Disney Engineers decided to make the utilidoors the first story with the actual Magic Kingdom the second. This means that the park is actually 14 feet above ground.
