100 Years?

Disney On Ice: 100 Years of Magic? Really? I can't imagine that Uncle Walt was creating ice shows at 8 1/2 years old in 1910. I mean, I give him huge props. Hell, I worked at the Character Shop - but still... 100 years on Ice?.
PS..this was the character shop. I had the BEST job, I was a breaker, so I didn't have to spend 8 hours folding T-shirts or stocking plush.
.
Also, in 1977, a girl and I held the record for highest sales on 1 register in the history of the Park on 1 grad night!
ps.. Yesterland has it wrong on it's "Adventure Thru Inner Space" page. AFter 1975 you did not exit into the Monsanto Display area, you exited directly into the Character Shop, where the poor workers had to listen to "...the bouncy theme song “Miracles from Molecules” by Robert and Richard Sherman—the team responsible for the music for It’s a Small World. " for their entire mind numbing shift.
.
Miracles from molecules are dawning every day, discoveries for happiness in a fab-u-lous array! A never-ending search is on by men who dare and plan: making modern miracles from molecules for man!
.
Every atom is a world, an infinity unfurled! A world of innerspace without an end! A world of mystery, of endless energy, with treasures more than man can ever spend!!!
.
Miracles from molecules are dawning every day, discoveries for happiness in a fab-u-lous array! A never-ending search is on by men who dare and plan: making modern miracles from molecules for ma-a-an, making modern miracles from molecules for man!
.
Miracles from molecules around us every where, there are miracles from molecules in the Earth, the sea, the air! Now men with dreams are furthering what nature first began: making modern miracles from molecules for man!
.
Repeat until you puke.
