Designed to supplement Disneyland in Anaheim, California, which had opened in 1955, the complex was developed by Walt Disney in the 1960s. “The Florida Project”, as it was known, was intended to present a distinct vision with its own diverse set of attractions. Walt Disney’s original plans also called for the inclusion of an “Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow” (EPCOT), a planned community intended to serve as a test bed for new city-living innovations. Walt Disney died on December 15, 1966, during the initial planning of the complex. After his death, the company wrestled with the idea of whether to bring the Disneyworld project to fruition. However, Walt’s older brother, Roy, came out of retirement to make sure Walt’s biggest dream was realized. Construction started in 1967, with the company instead building a resort similar to Disneyland, abandoning the experimental concepts for a planned community. Magic Kingdom was the first theme park to open in the complex, in 1971, followed by Epcot (1982), Disney’s Hollywood Studios (1989), and Disney’s Animal Kingdom (1998). It was Roy who insisted the name of the entire complex be changed from Disneyworld to Walt Disney World, ensuring that people would remember that the project was Walt’s dream.

In 2018, Walt Disney World was the most visited vacation resort in the world, with an average annual attendance of more than 58 million.[4] The resort is the flagship destination of Disney’s worldwide corporate enterprise and has become a popular staple in American culture. In 2020, Walt Disney World was chosen to host the NBA Bubble for play of the 2019–20 season of the NBA to resume at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.

U.S. TREASURY’S DIRECT EXPRESS® PREPAID CARD EARNS HIGH MARKS FROM SOCIAL SECURITY POPULATION
AS THE MARCH 1, 2013, DEADLINE FOR ELECTRONIC FEDERAL BENEFIT PAYMENTS NEARS, TREASURY OFFICIAL AVAILABLE TO ADDRESS SUCCESS OF TREASURY-ENDORSED PREPAID DEBIT CARD
By March 1, 2013, anyone who receives Social Security, Veterans Affairs or other federal benefits will need to receive their payments electronically, either by direct deposit or the Direct Express® Debit card. Today the U.S. Department of the Treasury is releasing the results of a new study that shows extremely high satisfaction with the Direct Express® card, a prepaid debit card that allows individuals without traditional banking accounts to receive their federal benefits electronically.
Wednesday, July 18, Treasury official Walt Henderson can discuss how the Direct Express® card has helped more than 3 million Americans safely and easily access and use their federal benefit payments since it was introduced in 2008. And with the March 1, 2013, deadline getting closer, the Treasury Department is urging federal benefit recipients to sign up for the card or direct deposit without delay so they can enjoy the convenience and security of electronic payments. Henderson can share with listeners how easy it is to sign up for electronic payments and remind check recipients about information they will need to have on hand when making the switch. This move to all-electronic payments will provide significant savings to American taxpayers — an estimated $1 billion over the next 10 years.
ABOUT THE SPOKESPERSON: Walt Henderson is the director of the EFT Strategy Division at the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Management Service, where he manages the Treasury Department’s Go Direct® national public education campaign to encourage the use of direct deposit or the Direct Express® card for federal benefit payments. Walt also manages policy issues related to electronic payments and is responsible for implementing the All-Electronic Treasury initiative, which requires all federal benefit payments be paid electronically by March 2013.
