SUMMARY:Happy Hour with the Historian: What in the world? How Walt Built Disney
DESCRIPTION:The St. Petersburg Museum of History and Southern Roots Realty invite you to our monthly lecture series\, Happy Hour with the Historian featuring Gary McKechnie. The deal that changed Florida forever. \nWhen Walt Disney realized cheap tourist traps were enveloping Disneyland\, he began a nationwide search for enough land to hold every dream he could imagine.

However\, when a keen-eyed reporter cracked the code\, Disney was forced to show his hand. Audiences will be amazed to learn of not only subterfuge but also the monumental innovations and engineering feats required creating a whole new world. \nNative Floridian Gary McKechnie is a two-time National Geographic author\, author of America’s best-selling motorcycle guidebook\, and two-time winner of the Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Award.  McKechnie is also a motivational storyteller\, a stand-up comedian\, and improv actor.

She earned a BFA from the University of Tampa and a BA in History from the University of South Florida\, St. Petersburg. In 2017\, Sanderson graduated with an MLA in Florida Studies from the USFSP. Her thesis project focused on the lives of two noble women in sixteenth-century Florida\, one a young Spanish woman and one a female Indian chief.

After working in the field for five years\, Sanderson was admitted into the Ph.D. program in History at the University of South Florida.
