Before Walt Disney World opened its gates, a different kind of operation was underway.
Land was acquired through shell companies. Deals were made quietly. A private government was written into law. Former intelligence veterans and strategic planners helped assemble 27,000 acres of Florida swampland without tipping off the public.
The Spies Behind the Magic reveals how Walt Disney's boldest dream was built using methods more often associated with covert operations than theme parks.
This is the true story of how a kingdom rose from secrecy.
