When it comes to Walt Disney, I confess that I don’t have a whole lot of historical pictures — at least, not in the true sense of what I’m thinking about. So when I saw that today’s Wordless Wednesday theme is “History”, I really wasn’t sure what I was going to share with all of you. Then I thought, the best attraction that I know of at Walt Disney World is One Man’s Dream — so I’ll share a picture of that. So here you go. Then, as I was typing this, I remembered that the Walt Disney World Railroad contains locomotives that are from the 1910s and 20s, and that is pretty historical in and of itself! So I’m sharing a picture of one of the locomotives with you.
Then, after I thought of this bit of history, I started remembering the history that goes along with the Prince Charming Regal Carrousel. This carrousel, built in 1917, is truly a historical piece all itself, so here is a picture of it!
I guess what I’ve learned from my trip down Disney History Lane is that, when you think about it, the whole park is comprised of history! So much history, in fact, that it is all around you, just waiting to be discovered!
There is the history of the Magic Kingdom to begin with — Main Street, U.S.A. feels like a trip into the past; Tomorrowland, a trip into the Future; and Liberty Square, a trip into what it must have been like to be a citizen at the birth of a nation in 1776.

One Man’s Dream is the most amazing collection of Disney history- I love it! I And it’s great for this week’s theme…
I love this post! There IS so much history at WDW!
You have summed it up perfectly! A trip to the Magic Kingdom is truly like traveling through history, you just need to keep your eyes open and observe.
Thanks everyone! What I liked about this post was how it kind of dawned on me after I started writing about it, this truly was a progression post leading from one thing to another to another — and I could go on and on and on!
Love your choice of pictures! I’m so glad you had fun with the theme this week. I worried that it might be a tough one but history is everywhere at WDW. Thanks for sharing and for joining in the DWW Blog Hop fun!
Thanks, Deb! It was fun!
Excellent group of pictures and you are so right – history is everywhere around you at the parks! :) Thanks for sharing with us!
Nice take on the theme.
