Kraft Salutes Walt Disney World's 10th Anniversary is a 1982 television special. It celebrated Walt Disney World's "Tencennial" anniversary in 1981. It aired on January 21st, 1982 on CBS. Watch the adventures of the Lane family (Dean Jones, Michele Lee, Eileen Brennan, Dana Plato, and Ricky Schroder) as they visit Walt Disney World with an odd mute Asian child. Also, there's Michael Keaton, the Gatlin Brothers, and John Schneider.
The Lanes departs for Walt Disney World in a musical montage, meet up there, and see the Gatlin Brothers perform at Fort Wilderness' Pioneer Hall.
Then we get too truly bizarre musical numbers - Dean Jones and Ricky Schroder have a painful duet about familial estrangement and Dana Plato and Michele Lee go shopping at the Contemporary Resort. Afterwards, John Schneider sings an odd little number on the lawn of Cinderella Castle. We then get some very rare footage of the Contemporary Resort's "Top of the World" restaurant, and have a completely unnecessary flashback.
As the special wraps up, we're treated to what might be the single strangest medley in the history of television. After all, it's Walt Disney World - the place so magical it'll make your child give up his or her calculator forever!
