Expos to Epcot: How World‘s Fairs Gave Us Walt Disney World
Friday, February 13 | 7–8:30pm | On-site
Smithsonian museum specialist Bethanee Bemis explores international expositions which helped shape Walt Disney’s vision through technological optimism, immersive storytelling, and a celebration of consumer culture. The 1964–65 New York World‘s Fair, in particular, was a key testing ground for ideas that would later come to life in Walt Disney World.
