...hotel accommodations and some meals-a feature undesirable to travelers who want lower charter fares. Minimum stay requirements have also been trimmed to seven days for Europe (v. ten days now), and cut altogether for North America. Travelers will be able to board weekend charters for Las Vegas or Disneyland...
...grim prospect is that throughout the campaign, this sort of thing will be doled out regularly. So will some pretty sharp political barbs. Vice-Presidential Candidate Dole, after all, is the same man who said in 1969 that he went to visit Disneyland-and found Mickey Mouse wearing a Spiro Agnew watch. In the weeks ahead, he is likely to save such putdowns for Democrats. With Dole matched against Walter Mondale -a penetrating wit himself-the 1976 presidential campaign should be anything but dull...
...death in 1971, Roy Disney, who succeeded his younger brother, and a cadre of post-Walt executives had turned Walt Disney Productions into a thriving empire of fantasy. Today the company is bigger and richer than ever. Profits flow in from Disney's two successful theme parks, Disneyland in California and the magic kingdom at Walt Disney World in Florida, from film rentals and television, from re-releases of such longtime favorites as Bambi, Pinocchio and Fantasia, and from sales of record albums, Mickey Mouse wristwatches and everything else bearing the Disney stamp...

...film projects, however, account for three-fourths of Disney revenues and therefore generate the greatest excitement in the Disney organization. With Disneyland and Walt Disney World booming, the company is now moving on the biggest of Walt's ideas: EPCOT, or Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. To be built by the early 1980s in Florida as an expansion of Disney World, EPCOT will be a living laboratory of applied technology in transportation, housing, communications and waste disposal. Near it will rise the World Showcase, a permanent World's Fair. Still another theme park, Oriental Disneyland, now planned...
