Walt Disney had opened Disneyland in California on July 17, 1955. After Disneyland's success, Walt had visions of yet another amusement park, but one on a much larger scale. Walt had not purchased enough land to do all that he'd wanted to do with Disneyland. The real world was too close to his land of make-believe. He would not make that mistake again.

In 1958, Walt had decided that he wanted his new Disneyland to be to the East. He and his brother, Roy O. Disney decided on Orlando, Florida. After all, Florida had good year-round weather, and it would be the perfect place. So, between 1964-1965, Walt purchased 27,000 acres of swampland in Florida. When it was discovered who was buying the land, the remaining land prices jumped from $183 an acre to $1,000 an acre.

Walt wanted people to feel they were in a special place when they visited his amusement parks. He stated, "I don't want the public to see the world they live in while they're in the Park. I want them to feel they're in another world." He wanted his parks to be a place where parents and children could have fun together. Like Disneyland, his new park would include the Magic Kingdom. Walt decided his new park would be called Disneyworld.
