If all goes as planned, newspaper readers, magazine subscribers, radio listeners and television viewers will face waves of feature stories about Walt Disney World during the next few months.

Disney World spent hundreds of thousands of dollars paying for the airfare and hotel rooms, and throwing lavish parties.
