OG Magic: Ranking Walt Disney World’s Opening Day Survivors

We’re going all the way back to the very beginning — opening day at each of Walt Disney World’s four parks — to celebrate the attractions that started it all and are still bringing the magic today. From the charm of 1971’s Magic Kingdom lineup to EPCOT’s futuristic beginnings in 1982, the movie-magic launch of Disney MGM Studios (Hollywood Studios) in 1989, and the wild debut of Animal Kingdom in 1998, we are ranking the rides, shows, and experiences that have stood the test of time.
