Magic Kingdom's 1971 Grand Opening in Three Sketches

On October 23 through October 25, 1971, Walt Disney World held its Grand Opening for the Magic Kingdom theme park. It was a weekend long event marked by parades, singers, bands, and a host of speakers.

 An uncredited artist created a series of renderings which were used to create a handbook of sorts for everyone involved in pulling off this spectacular event.

It was the absolutely perfect way to kick off the crowing jewel of the "Vacation Kingdom of the World".
