1940: Disney's animated feature film, Pinocchio opened in Los Angeles theaters (2 days after premiering in New York).
1942: The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences nominated Disney's Dumbo for Best Music, Scoring of a Musical Picture and Best Music, Original Song (for "Baby Mine"). Also nominated are Lend a Paw and Truant Officer Donald, both for Best Short Subjects, Cartoons.
1986: Magic Journeys, a 3D film shown in Epcot's Journey Into Imagination Pavilion, closed. It reopened at the Magic Kingdom in December 1987. Magic Journeys premiered as one of the opening-day attractions at EPCOT Center back in 1982. The film looked at the world through the eyes of a child.
1996: The Disney Institute opened at Walt Disney World, Florida. The Institute (inspired by the Chautauqua Institution in Jamestown, New York) offered more than 60 programs in 8 interest areas such as animation, culinary arts, rock climbing and wilderness exploration. Guests stayed in Villas (previously part of the Disney Village Resort) on a 75 acre, 457 room resort. The Institute was an attempt to allow guests to have a vacation ... with a dose of educational entertainment.
**DW and I took many classes at the Disney Institute. We took cooking classes, photography classes, learned how to operate a radio station (Disney Radio, of course), took behind the scenes tours of Epcot and Magic Kingdon. It was wonderful!! I'm really sorry that the Institute is closed to individuals. They offer only corporate classes now

2012: Disney took possession of its newest cruise ship when the colors of German shipbuilder Meyer Werft were lowered and the Disney Cruise Line flag was raised over the Disney Fantasy. The traditional maritime ceremony marked the final step of construction before the 4,000-passenger ship made her way across the Atlantic, eventually arriving to her homeport of Port Canaveral, Florida, and inaugural voyage on March 31. The Fantasy's first stop was New York City for its March 1 christening before heading down the East Coast to arrive at Port Canaveral on March 6.
