Episode 509: Disney By The Decades - The 1980's

Boys, look, I love this series.

I loved doing the 1970s.

It was a ton of fun.

But we're starting to get into the two decades that really we see the growth of the Disney property just absolutely boom.

And when you think of Walt Disney World, the 1970s aren't exactly what you think of if you haven't been, you know, you can start going until the 80s or 90s, 2000s.

And we're starting to get into that major expansion mode as we get into the 1980s.

Look, the 1980s were arguably the most transformative decade in Walt Disney World history.

I mean, when you think about it, it's the first time that it goes from a single park to a true multi-park destination for it.

People from around the world now are coming to stay in the bubble to to be a part of Walt Disney World and have that incredible vacation.

And we are going to go take you through 1980 all the way through 1989 tonight with everything that was added, all the big additions and all the things that are still there and bring you back each and every year to the most magical place on Earth.

Boys, let's get started right in 1980, and that is something that I love.

You cannot go to Walt Disney World or the Magic Kingdom without being a part of the wildest ride in the wilderness.

And Big Thunder Mountain opens September 23rd, 1980, one of the most iconic mountain roller coasters in Disney history.

Mikey, this is a must-do for families around the world every time they go to Walt Disney World.

Yeah, we love doing it.

It's a great ride.

It's a height, you know, height wise.

It's a pretty good.

So for young kids that want to get on roller coasters for the first time, it's not that crazy.

Some of the other height requirements, fun, exciting, great scenery, nice queue.

I enjoy it.

It's one of our it's one of our must do's whenever I can.

Girls love doing it.
