To solve this problem, Walt wanted to have control over much more land than he could in Disneyland. Also adding to Walt's frustration, was the fact that the area around Disneyland had become rundown by local businesses hoping to capitalize on Disneyland's success. The success of the Disney attractions at the 1964 World's Fair in New York, showed Walt that Disney could be a huge success in the East Coast market. According to research done by the Disney Company, although 75% of the American population was located east of the Mississippi River, only 5% of Disneyland's visitors came from that region. Coming off the success of Disneyland (which had opened in 1955), Walt wanted to bring his next theme park to the East Coast. This history of the Magic Kingdom began in 1959, when Walt Disney began to look for a place to build a second theme park. Haydon Burns announcing Disney's Florida Project to the public.
