FBI Studies Disney World For Tour Ideas
The FBI sent two employees to Disney World in Florida for advice on displays and public tours for the new J Edgar Hoover Building. One was a special agent and the other a visual information specialist who spent two days at the Orlando site. The visit aimed to borrow Disney World expertise in visuals and crowd control as the agency prepares for up to a million visitors during 1976 Bicentennial observances. No Mickey Mouse attractions will be included and Disney World offered no charge for the consultation.
