Word of the Week – (Project) X

Okay, so I’m totally cheating right off the bat with this one. Admittedly, X is a very difficult letter when it comes to coming up with Walt Disney World Words. That’s why this week I decided to bend the rules a bit for the latest Word of the Week – (Project) X.

In the 1960s, Walt Disney was an American icon. The man reinvented animation, won several Academy Awards for multiple genres of films, and had created the first ever theme park in the history of the world. He needed something new. After the success of the 1964-1965 New York World’s Fair proved that the East Coast of the United States was ready for a new version of Disneyland, Walt made his move and purchased a ton of land in Central Florida.

This week I talk all about Walt Disney’s “Project X” or what would eventually be come to be known as the Walt Disney World Resort.

About Phil Gramlich

I was hit with the Walt Disney World bug at the age of 13. I took my first trip with my family to the Most Magical Place on Earth and it hit me. “I want to work here someday,” I told my parents. Six years later I was a Cast Member at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, making magic for guests each and every day.

I started Ear To There Travel because I wanted to bring a little bit of that Disney magic home to those who were in the planning stages of trips to Disney destinations. I want to make it fun, not intimidating or frustrating! Not only am I a former Walt Disney World Cast Member and Universal Orlando Team Member, but I have what many call an obsession with all things Disney. I’d call it more of a hobby, or a passion…okay, I admit it, it’s an obsession! I’ve done it all: Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruises, Adventures By Disney, & more!

As I say on my podcast, it’s my job to take away all of that stress, all of that anxiety, and all of that time that it takes to book a Disney trip (because it takes an awful lot of time), so you can focus on the fun things like having a fantastic time with your family and friends and enjoying the magic!
