What did Tufts University have to do with Walt Disney World?

Did they maybe have an Imagineering course at one time?

Not that I'm aware of.

This is a good one. Was their University marching band the first to march down Main Street USA when the Magic Kingdom opened?

No marching bands were utilized, but some lawyers were.

Ooh, litigation-always good for some drama! Maybe some sort of copyright infringement, regarding a logo or character, perhaps?

Not sure if there was any litigation, believe it was more negotiations. Nothing to do with a logo or character however.

Could the school have owned some of the land Walt wanted to buy for the resort?

kraysister · Posted: Wed Jun 09, 2021 10:59 am Post subject:

They didn't own the land exactly, but something very close to the land.

Hmm, maybe they had ownership of mineral rights, or something like that?

kraysister · Posted: Sat Jun 12, 2021 10:14 pm Post subject:

Yes! For some reason they owned the mineral rights. Sold them
To Disney for $15k apparently.

schinkus98 · Posted: Mon Jun 14, 2021 5:57 am Post subject:

The only reason I even thought of the mineral rights was because I caught an old episode of the Rifleman last week where some shady big city shyster was trying to trick Lucas out of the mineral rights to his ranch.

Robert and Kristen Anderson-Lopez are most famous for penning all the music and lyrics in the "Frozen" soundtrack, but prior to that, they wrote all the music for what in-park show?

Not the right answer, but it's so close!
