On this episode of WEDWay Radio we take a look at some of the "other" Disney sites around the country that may tell the story of Walt Disney and the Disney company as well. In the last thirty years Disneyland has become not only the worlds premier theme park, but a place filled with nostalgia. It appreciates its past while moving forward with newer and more innovative attractions. Several years after Walt Disney passed away the company began to dedicate space to preserving the legacy of not only the park, but of the man himself. 'The Legacy of Walt Disney' sat at the end of Main Street and the Walt Disney story ran in the Opera House.

At some point you have probably considered the circumstances for the major advancements in the life of Walt Disney and of the company. On this episode we take a look at some of these historical sites, including:
