Riassunto

There’s more to Orlando than mouse ears. Long before Walt Disney arrived, Seminole Indians lived here, in the swamplands of central Florida. Over the years, Orlando evolved into a modern city, but it wasn’t until 1971 that it began its transformation into what it is today: one of the biggest tourist destinations in the world.

• See how Orlando grew from humble swampland into a modern mecca of theme parks, big business, and retail in this new edition of the Then and Now series.
  
• Witness the amazing transformation of thousands of acres of orange groves as they became Disney World, Epcot Center, SeaWorld, and Universal Studios.
  
• Take a glimpse into Orlando’s dynamic past as you tour its historic downtown district. See then-and-now images of the Old Orlando Railroad depot, the Bumby Hardware Building and Slemon’s Department Store.
  
• With Art Deco treasures, magnificent Beaux Arts and Queen Anne buildings, and red-tiled Mediterranean roofs, Orlando boasts an incredible range of architectural styles. See some of the city’s best-loved old buildings, as they were and as they are today.
  
• Orlando hosts millions of visitors every year. This exciting Then and Now book makes a great souvenir or gift.
