I reiterate: I like to watch vintage Disney Park specials before heading down to The World. I like to see what's changed, what's stayed the same, and what I missed out on that I honestly wouldn't believe actually happened unless they were documented on film for posterity.
"Walt Disney World's 20'th Anniversary: The Dream is Alive" does not preserve much of the latter (save for a brief glimpse of a Pleasure Island marquee). In fact, this Disney Park Anniversary Special contains almost NO footage of Walt Disney World at all. What it gives us instead is Michael Eisner -a LOT of Michael Eisner- struggling to be as charismatic as possible.
Whew, they really don't make them like this anymore. Look for Eddie Murphy's expression at about the seven minute mark, because I had a similar one watching this.
Side note: Me having to pause and rub my temples at the sight of Michael Eisner's credit in "Bojack Horseman" is the new me having to pause and rub my temples at the sight of Seth MacFarlane's credit in "Cosmos".
