WDW Radio # 632 - Unrealized Walt Disney World Attractions of the Disney Decade When Michael Eisner and Frank Wells ushered in The Disney Decade in 1990, they did so with the promise of unmatched expansion in the Disney parks and resorts. And while many of the announcements came to be, there were many that never made it off the drawing board, or in some cases, the scale models. This week, we'll look at the many attractions, shows, resorts, and unique offerings that were never realized in the parks... including some incredible concepts that you probably never heard of before. ---------------------------------- WDWRadio.com - Visit the site and blog!
