Enjoy this 1997 promotional video for the original Disney Institute that opened in 1996 at WDW. Disney historian and author Jim Korkis makes a few appearances as he used to teach the animation classes at the resort, and the theme song heard throughout the video, "You Won't Believe What You Can Do", is pretty uplifting and catchy as well. The short lived resort closed in 2002 to make room for Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa but the institute still exists today in the form of seminars and workshops.
