- The new Tomorrowland is unveiled. Tomorrowland in the various parks has been a problem since the tomorrow that we envision today looks antiquated when tomorrow gets here.
- The Rocket to the Moon is gone, but the Flight to the Moon attraction remains.
- Space Mountain appears and the artist’s rendering is similar to the poster that included the hint that the attraction vehicles would go outside and inside the mountain.
- The WEDway People Mover appears.
- United Air Lines continues sponsorship of The Enchanted Tiki Room.
- The show buildings for the Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean are shown. In the previous series none of the show buildings were indicated.
- The attractions that were built for the 1964-1965 World’s Fair in New York make their appearance. Including:
- Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln in the Disneyland Opera House on Main Street,
- General Electric’s Carrousel of Progress in Tomorrowland,
- It’s a Small World in Fantasyland, hosted by Bank of America, and
- The dinosaurs from Ford’s Magic Skyway in their own building along the railroad around the park.
- The eventual form of New Orleans Square, with streets rather than a single square, is visible.
