Welcome back to Fridays with Jim Korkis! Jim, the dean of Disney historians and author of Jim’s Gems in The easy Guide, writes about Walt Disney World history every Friday on yourfirstvisit.net.

THE ORIGINAL PROPOSAL FOR CELEBRATION

By Jim Korkis

The first tenants of Celebration, Florida took up residence in June 1996. However, years earlier Disney had to share its plans for the area south of U.S. Highway 192.

Celebration

In May 1991, Disney presented its initial proposal for Celebration to the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council for review.

Space for 20,000 residents and 15,000 employees would include 8,000 “moderately upscale” homes of all sizes and values that would be built in four themed villages between 1993 and 2015. Three of the villages would wrap around championship golf courses.

All homes would include a fiber-optic computer network that would allow homeowners to select a movie without going to a video store. Shoppers would be able to call up a recipe and get a printout of ingredients, including their location in the grocery store. The system would connect directly with the hospital so that residents could talk directly to a doctor and have things like their blood pressure monitored.

The plans included:

• Celebration Center: Two million square foot international shopping district with famous name retailers from many nations and was projected to attract ten million visitors a year. It would be designed by architect Helmut Jahn of Chicago with the first million square feet scheduled for an early 1995 opening.
• Enterprise Park: A 240,000 square foot office center designed by Italian architect Aldo Rossi. The first phase was a planned a three million square foot office park.
• Residential Community: Four villages with a variety of architectural styles. It would include 8,000 units in a pedestrian-oriented setting, twenty miles of walk and bikeways, a unique video library with a fiber-optic link to homes plus an electronically indexed grocery store.
• The Disney Institute: “A new kind of Disney learning resort to entertain, educate and revitalize guests with movies, gourmet cooking and lectures including an Entertainment Arts Academy, performing arts center and fitness spa, master-planned by AIA Gold Medal architect Charles Moore”. CEO Michael Eisner had been promoting the concept since 1984 which he described as the “cultural heart and soul of the community”.
• Medical and Health Center: Wellness services and 150 bed medical facility.
• Environmental Center: Adjoining expansive wilderness area, this unique center will teach residents and guests about the heritage of Florida wildlife and forest lands.
• Three Championship Golf Courses: Winding through Celebration villages, courses include a Signature Hole course where designers’ kiosks will provide video on each hole’s design and tips for playing it.
• Schools/Civic Areas: Schools are being planned to cater to the needs of residents , with innovative techniques and guest-teacher plan in structures which might be designed by world famous architects whose talents will be applied for the first time toward classroom design. Other civic amenities were planned.
• The Workplace: Visitors will be able to enjoy the creative ingenuity of industrial “wizards” from around the world designing and making everything from tennis balls to compact discs in facilities created to inform and entertain. Designed to promote the free enterprise system and industrial wizardry, tourists would pay to watch a product’s creation.
• Multimodal Station: A transportation facility to respond to the needs of the region and able to accommodate all forms of rail and other ground transit systems.

According to the proposal, upon completion of the Regional Impact Study review process, the property would be de-annexed from the Reedy Creek Improvement District and fall under the jurisdiction of Osceola County. Even after the de-annexation, Disney retained ownership of some assets like the downtown area and the golf course, but they were both later sold.

Thanks, Jim. Celebration turned out to be something quite different than this proposal, and something unique–in a lot of ways–in America.

DISNEY WORLD DEALS

Disney World itself rarely offers deals on tickets, sometimes offers deals on dining, and commonly offers deals on rooms. Major current deals available to the general public can always be found here.

While timing varies, most Disney World deals are announced well after the hotel rooms and dining venues open for booking.

So the basic decision is whether to book your trip anyway well in advance at non-deal rates to maximize your ability to book our preferred hotel and dining choices, or to wait for a deal.

Waiting for a deal may mean you are shut out of your preferred dining or lodging options. If you can only afford to come if a deal emerges, then of course wait for it to be announced; otherwise, if you are committed to a certain set of dates whether or not a deal emerges, go ahead and book those dates, and then try to get the deal—not guaranteed—once it comes out.

Small ticket savings are usually available from places like the Official Ticket Center, and you can get major savings on lodging either from picking a less expensive time to attend, staying in a less expensive Disney-owned hotel class than your first preference might lead you to, or by staying in a hotel not owned by Disney, particularly offsite—although I don’t recommend this last option for first-timers.

DEALS ON DISNEY WORLD TICKETS

For many families, the largest Orlando expense of their Disney World trip will be their theme park tickets. A family of four with five day tickets will spend more than $1,400 on tickets. (Ticket prices are here.)

Right now, multi-day tickets don’t have seasonal pricing—you pay the same amount all year long if your ticket is longer than one day. That will end shortly.

Those doing longer-range planning should avoid in 2019 and later the week that includes Presidents Day, all of March but its first week, the weeks before and after Easter, the period from the Friday before Memorial Day until late July, Thanksgiving week, and the weeks that include Christmas and New Years. These high-crowd weeks have never been great choices; likely higher ticket prices during them would make them even more painful…

Until another US recession happens, you will have a hard time finding big discounts on tickets unless you are a Florida resident or are eligible for the Disney Armed Forces Salute. (See Disney’s website for Florida deals, and my friend Steve Bell’s MiltaryDisneyTips.com for deals for military folks and their friends.)

Everyone else should check the Official Ticket Center for ticket deals that may save them a few percentage points on tickets.

Any current general public deals that might have Disney World ticket savings will be noted on this page.

DEALS ON DISNEY WORLD DINING

Dining at Disney World is for many families their second-biggest on site expense after tickets. Disney dining prices are the same most of the year, but prices do get bumped up in the busier weeks.

Several Disney World package deals have commonly been offered which enable reduced dining costs in return for buying other elements of a package (a Disney-owned hotel room and park tickets) at full price.

The most valuable of these is free dining, which recently has been offered for much of September, and parts of October, November and December. The scoop on free dining is here. If offered for 2019, it likely will be announced in late April or early May. Smaller families staying in more expensive rooms may find that a room rate deal—almost always offered at the same time—may save them more than free dining.

The least expensive way to dine is to prepare some or most of your own food (note that these days it’s easy to get your food, etc., delivered), and the next least expensive choice is dining off site. However, unless your lodging is already off site, these will cost you time that might be more valuably spent in the parks, napping, or at a pool. More on saving money on dining at Disney World is here.

Any current general public deals that might have dining savings at Disney World will be noted on this page.

DEALS ON DISNEY WORLD HOTELS

Both the widest variety of price points and the broadest expense savings are available on your lodging costs. Hotel rooms most times of the year are available from $100/night to close to $1,000. The widest range of affordable options are off-site. Moreover, savings for higher levels of amenities are quite substantial at off-site lodging options compared to Disney-owned ones.

I’ve written extensively here about why I recommend that first timers in particular should stay in a Disney-owned hotel, so the rest of this focuses on the Disney-owned hotels.

Substantial savings come simply from picking a lower-priced time to visit, as Disney prices for standard rooms vary by a factor of over 50% at different times of the year. Details of the Disney World hotel price seasons, which vary by resort type, are here.

In addition, Disney offers room discounts—called “room-only” deals—on top of these rates for most weeks of the year except the very busiest ones. Typical savings are 10-15% for value resort rooms, and 20-30% for deluxe rooms, with the moderates in between.

Like most other Disney World deals, these are not usually offered as far in advance as you’d like them to be. But if you are committed to a certain time to go, go ahead and book your room, and then compete for the discount if/when it comes out. (“Compete” because not all resorts or room types may be in the deal, and some that are in the deal may sell out quickly.)

Eligible military families will find even better deals as part of the Armed Forces Salute, and should also check out Shades of Green and its very low year-round rates.

Any current general public Disney World room rate deals will be noted on this page.

DISNEY WORLD DEALS FOR RETURNING VISITORS

The options that follow actually apply to everyone, but returning visitors will be in a better position to judge their value and manage their complexity than first-timers.

Buy an Annual Pass.

Disney World’s Annual Passes—the least expensive, at around $800 per person, is now called the “Platinum Annual Pass—include unlimited admission to the four theme parks for 366 days beginning on the date of activation, including the ability to see more than one park in a day.

They also give you access to other benefits—an additional set of room discounts beyond (but usually not a lot better than) those available to the general public, some dining and shopping discounts, and the ability to access additional dining savings from buying a “Tables in Wonderland” card.

Only one member of the party need have a pass to be able to access these discounts. Families that plan two longer trips within the window of the pass may find value to buying passes for everybody.

Buy a Tables in Wonderland card.

Annual Passholders, Disney Vacation Club (DVC) members, and Florida residents are eligible to buy Tables in Wonderland cards, which grant 20% discounts (subject to some block-out dates) at more than a hundred different Disney dining venues. Current pricing is $150 for the first two groups and $175 for Florida residents.

Some of these restaurants already offer a 10% discount to passholders, so the math of the incremental value of a Tables in Wonderlands card for those with a Pass as well can be opaque. But there’s no question that those on long or repeat visits with lots of cash-paid dining in their plans can come out ahead. The restaurant reviews in The easy Guide to Your Walt Disney World Visit indicate which discounts are available where.

Rent DVC Points

The Disney Vacation Club spaces are available to DVC members using their points, to the general public for cash—and to the general public who have rented unused points from DVC members. Renting points is an especially economical way to access deluxe-level spaces for a surprisingly low cost. See this for more on renting DVC points at Walt Disney World.

THE BASICS: DINING AT WALT DISNEY WORLD

Some of the best-loved Disney World experiences are dining in its more special venues. The basic decision to make about dining at Disney World is how much money and time you wish to devote to it, and after that which meals you wish to target.

Not only are there a lot of choices, but some also book up on or near the day they are available to book–180 days before, in most cases.

Disney World has a wide range of dining options, including distinctive and memorable family dining experiences, sophisticated and lovely “date night” options, a few venues that mix a bit of both, and multiple less special settings, including many options that essentially offer fast food.

While prices vary tremendously, all Disney World options are more expensive than you’d pay at home.

Those on tight budgets will largely focus on the lower-priced fast-food-like venues which are found in all the parks and almost all the hotels—in Disney-speak, the “Counter Service” or “Quick Service” options. Eating off-property, and/or making some of your meals yourself is also an option, especially if you have a car, although doing so takes extra time. If you are paying cash for sit-down meals, dinner is almost always more expensive than other meals in the same venue. More ideas for saving on dining at Disney World are here.

Those who can afford more will likely find that dining becomes one of their favorite memories of their Disney World trip. Because of that, recommended dining is included in all of this site’s Disney World itineraries.

DINING AT DISNEY WORLD: SOME BASIC CONCEPTS

Nothing at Disney World is as simple as we’d all like it to be, so here’s some basic concepts (if you just want recommendations, skip to the next sections).

Types of meals

Besides the counter service dining mentioned above (also sometimes referred to as “quick service), there’s other kinds of dining—regular dining with menus, tables and waiters; buffets; and family style dining, kinda like a mini-buffet at your table, as various options are brought to your table and you serve yourself from among them. All these “other kinds of dining” are commonly referred to as “table service” options.

Whispering Canyon Cafe at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge

Sub-types among the table service options are character meals, where at some point during your meal you’ll get chance to meet, take pictures with, and get autographs from Disney characters; dinner shows, where in addition to your meal there’s a show of some sort; and signature dining—Disney lingo for “even more expensive than the rest.” These categories can get combined– Cinderella’s Royal Table is a character meal that’s also signature dining…

Reservations Open 180 Days Before—And Sometimes Close Then, Too

Table service dining reservations open 180 days ahead. (For those staying in a Disney World resort, they can book 180 days from their arrival date, and at the same time for the first ten days of their visit.) With the exception of Be Our Guest, quick service options neither offer nor require reservations.

Be Our Guest at the Magic Kingdom

The most popular family dining venues can book really quickly, so a key part of your To-Do List should be booking your dining 180 days ahead.

The Dining Plan

There are several Disney Dining plans, all of which are a way to pre-pay for some components of some of your meals. You have to be booked in a Disney-owned hotel to book a dining plan, and in turn you’ll receive various credits.

The regular dining plan can save real money for kids three to nine years old at one credit character meals and buffets. Otherwise, saving much money on any Disney Dining plan is unlikely, although the addition of one alcoholic drink per meal for 2018 means some will see more value from it than recently.

Booking a plan, though, can provide the comfort of knowing that some of your dining expense are pre-paid, and as a result you can grab anything eligible on a menu for which you have available credits without worrying about its price.

A few key points on the dining plan:

• Make sure you book your meals way in advance (the plan is of little value if the places you want to eat are sold out.)
• You’ll get the most value from using table service credits for dinner, and the least using them for breakfast.
• The various meals that cost two credits are generally best paid for in cash (so long as you have good use of your remaining credits).

There’s much more on the dining plan in this post.

Free Dining

Disney World offers lots of deals except during the most crowded weeks of the year. Most popular of these is “Free Dining” which the past few years has been offered for much of September, and bits of October, November and December.

There’s much more on free dining on this page. But the key is that those who get the deal get one of the dining plans for free—the Quick Service plan if they are staying in a value or moderate resort, and the regular plan if staying at a deluxe.

DINING AT DISNEY WORLD: BEST CHARACTER MEALS AND DINNER SHOWS

See this for the Disney World character meals and dinner shows ranked in order.

Me and Aurora at Akershus in Epcot

Princesses. Three meals include princesses—Cinderella’s Royal Table in Cinderella’s Castle at the Magic Kingdom, Akershus with Belle and a half dozen other princesses in Epcot, and Cinderella and her family in the evenings at 1900 Park Fare at the Grand Floridian. Any can be a great choice. Cinderella’s Royal Table has the best setting but is by far the most expensive; 1900 Park Fare is the most fun, especially for boys and dads, and has the best food; Akershus is a great choice if you are going to Epcot, and more affordable than the Royal Table.

Mickey. Meals with Mickey can be found both in a couple of the parks and several of the hotels. Chef Mickey’s at the Contemporary is the most popular, and breakfast with Mickey (and Lilo and Stitch) at the Polynesian is another great choice. Tusker House in the Animal Kingdom is the best choice for in-park dining with Mickey.

Me and Pooh at the Crystal Palace in the Magic Kingdom

Other Characters. Other meals focus on different groups of characters, of which the most notable is the Crystal Palace at the Magic Kingdom, with Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore and Tigger.

Dinner Shows. Of the three dinner shows, by far the best is the Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue.

DINING AT DISNEY WORLD: BEST DATE NIGHT OPTIONS

Your best date night choices are the California Grill atop Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Jiko at the Animal Kingdom Lodge, and Artist Point at the Wilderness Lodge.

Victoria and Albert’s at the Grand Floridian

Also worth mentioning is the breathtakingly expensive but also breathtakingly good Victoria and Albert’s at the Grand Floridian. Not suited for younger kids, it’s best for celebrations—engagements, graduations, winning the lottery (so you can pay for it).

DINING AT DISNEY WORLD: BEST OF THE REST

Bar at California Grill at Disney’s Contemporary Resort

Choices For Both Parents And Kids. Not many venues combine great kid appeal with date night quality and setting, but the California Grill and Be Our Guest (for dinner) come close. The California Grill combines great food with a view of the Magic Kingdom, and, if you time it right, its fireworks show Wishes. Be Our Guest at dinner combines a pretty good menu (and the only alcohol available in the Magic Kingdom) with a kid-pleasing setting and theme.

Picking Your Own Dining. I have a matrix here that sorts all the Disney World park and resort table service restaurants by kid and adult appeal. You won’t find a lot of dining reviews on this site, but there are overviews of dining in each of the parks, and reviews of every table service option, in Chapter 7 of the Disney World guidebook I co-author, The easy Guide to Your Walt Disney World Visit. Here’s an example of one of our reviews:

Welcome back to Fridays with Jim Korkis! Jim, the dean of Disney historians and author of Jim’s Gems in The easy Guide, writes about Walt Disney World history every Friday on yourfirstvisit.net.

THE RETURN OF THE THREE CABALLEROS

By Jim Korkis

The Mexico pavilion at Epcot opened in October 1982, featuring a boat ride attraction entitled El Rio del Tiempo (“The River of Time”) that took visitors through a leisurely cruise through the history of Mexico from Mayan high priests to modern merchants.

(c) Disney

In 2007, a new storyline was developed where guests would still enjoy a boat tour experiencing the arts, culture and history of Mexico, as well as some of the famous modern day resorts and locales.

However, in the new storyline, the tour hits a snag when Panchito and Jose Carioca discover their amigo, Donald Duck, has gone sightseeing in Mexico on the very day the famous Three Caballeros are to perform a reunion concert in Mexico City.

The Three Caballeros—Donald Duck representing the United States; Jose Carioca, a parrot, from Brazil representing South America; and Panchito Pistoles, a rooster, representing Mexico—is an animated compilation feature film of the same name produced by Disney in 1944. In the film, after singing their memorable theme song, they all go on a magic serape ride over Mexico combining animation and live action.

In charge of this new revision of the ride reuniting the Three Cabelleros was director George Scribner (who was also director of Mickey’s PhilharMagic) and animation director Eric Goldberg (supervising animator on Aladdin‘s Genie and co-director on Pocahontas).

The new film elements were a combination of traditional character animation, overlaid onto film clips of live background footage that were projected onto a series of screens framed by dimensional walls, arches and rockwork to set the scenes. Throughout the attraction, props, set facades, lighting and the sound system also were refurbished and enhanced.

When this version of the Gran Fiesta Tour opened April 6, 2007, the final scene featured a large screen with animation of the Three Caballeros performing together. On December 4, 2015, this finale was replaced with three audio-animatronics figures of the three characters who had first appeared at WDW over forty-five years earlier.

The Mickey Mouse Revue was an attraction that opened at the Magic Kingdom October 1, 1971 and featured multiple small audio-animatronics figures of popular Disney cartoon characters designed and animated by Imagineer Bill Justice. These figures included the Three Caballeros singing their iconic song.

Over the years, the attraction’s popularity waned. It closed at Magic Kingdom on September 14, 1980 and was shipped to Tokyo Disneyland, where it opened April 15, 1983. It continued to operate for twenty-six years until it was replaced by Mickey’s PhilharMagic in 2009.

At that time, Epcot management made arrangements to save, purchase and have shipped to the United States three of the Three Caballeros figures from the attraction.

Unfortunately, due to a misunderstanding, there was no money left in the budget to install them in the new Gran Fiesta Tour attraction as originally intended. So for many years, they were stored safely backstage at Epcot as each year’s budget kept getting directed to other needs in the park.

The figures made their next public appearance at Disney’s Contemporary Resort as part of D23’s Destination D: Walt Disney World 40th in May 2011, when the Walt Disney Archives curated a special exhibit honoring four decades of the Vacation Kingdom and needed items that didn’t incur any costs from being shipped from the West Coast.

To celebrate the occasion of the figures being incorporated into the attraction, Disney Design Group artist Richard Terpstra working with the Walt Disney Archives as well as inspiration from the original theatrical poster for the film designed artwork for a limited edition t-shirt that was only available through December 10, 2015.

“We always thought the Three Caballeros would be perfect for the Mexico pavilion,” said Goldberg. “And it’s a great way to introduce the Disney characters to the Epcot pavilions and keep them within the context of the travel and tourism story of the World Showcase.”
