Summary: sound sync was off
Comment: Modern Marvels - Walt Disney World (History Channel)
I have now purchased 3 of these (I keep loaning them out and never get them back!) and this was the first one that had any issues. The sound was not synced with the picture. It gets very dizzing.
Aside from that technical glitch, it is a wonderful look into an amazing place. It has all sorts of interviews with original designers, technicians and executives about the planning, design and unique attributes about all the old and new attractions.
Beautiful footage of opening day, lost rides and the building of attractions old and new. A true treasure!

Summary: WDW for all the world to see
Comment: Being on the other side of the world, in Australia, I have only made it to WDW once - way back in 1983 about 5 months after EPCOT opened. This DVD not only brought me up to date with ALL the fantastic developments since then, it has inspired me to plan another visit there in 2009! I lent my copy to my best mate who was there in 1994 and he's so excited, he's plannning to come with us next year.
Basically, whether you're a Disney fanatic (like me) or not, this documentary provides spellbinding viewing. When you see the effort and imagination that goes into making this one of the most visited places on the planet, you can't help but want to experience it.
So for those who want to visit, or even those who already have experienced the magic, this is a great eye opener to a fantastic place!
At such a great price, how can anybody NOT buy this DVD?

Summary: Terrific DVD
Comment: If you're a Disney fan this is a great buy - the amount of interesting facts revealed about WDW is astounding. This is also quite up-to-date as it covers Epcot's Soarin' but was produced just prior to Animal Kingdom's Everest opening. If you've had great holidays at WDW you will may just enjoy it for seeing so many familiar rides and sights and if you're looking to go back this could be an invaluable planning tool to make sure you don't miss out on the best WDW has to offer!

Summary: A Great Overview of Disney World
Comment: If you are a Disney fan or theme park junkie, then this DVD is an amazing item to have. It gives a great history of the creation of Disney World and insight on all of magic that makes Walt Disney World the Happiest Place on Earth. This DVD along with Disney's 2 Disc Treasures collection on Disneyland is a perfect companion to this DVD, this way, you'll have the best of both worlds!

Summary: Broad overview, little new info
Comment: The Discovery Channel's 1-hour show is great for newbies to "the World" who are just starting vacation planning or have recently been. The show is a little dated now, as Soarin has been in Epcot for awhile. There is little that's new information for Disney's frequent visitors. Still, it's cool to see the Utilidors and the computer rooms that run the rides. I just wish it was longer and more detailed. For what it is, it's a little overpriced.
