The Disney touch was readily apparent at the GE pavilion, and not just at the Carousel of Progress show. Rather than just have the crowd wait in a line for the next show, there was usually a pre-show that was pretty interesting on its own. Little touches like this go a long way to improving the overall experience. When I worked for Disney they had lots of studies on file as to how long a line should be before it changed direction, for example, to help keep people from getting impatient. I bet the numbers have changed from those days, though, as we get more and more towards a society of instant gratification.
I've long been fascinated by World's Fairs. I've been lucky enough to have attended several myself and have been collecting photos from them for years. I've even written books on some of them, as listed on my site www.worldsfairphotos.com.
