"The Disneyland Story"

I met author, Sam Gennaway, who wrote the book, "The Disneyland Story" 
I thought it was an interesting  lecture learning a few things that happened behind the scene. Disney put down a $10,000 deposit on a plot of land, but the city heard it was Disney behind the deal and demanded a higher price. Disney promptly withdrawn from the negotiation and bought land in a different city. Disney once thought of setting up the Magic Kingdom in West Palm Beach area but Central Florida is a more suitable location. 
Disney secretly been buying up thousands of acres until the Orlando Sentinel broke the story and the rest is history.

This is Smokey stay tuned for the next episode of Deaf Anthology, Good Night Deaf America.
