Welcome to this happy place -- Disneydocs.net -- a growing, searchable archive of a single collection of documents related to the history of Disney theme parks and the 1939 & 1964 World's Fairs.    The unifying theme of this collection is how Walt Disney and others imagined the future could be as technology progressed.  For more information click here.  

NEWLY ADDED: A section on non-Disney/ non-World's Fair documents related to optimistic views of the future from the 1940s-1980s. Please see the new section entitled "Misc Futurism".
