Give This A Chance: Similarities, Disney World & Atlantic City, NJ

Are there any similarities between Walt Disney World and Atlantic City, New Jersey? At first glance, many will balk at this comparison.

But, I’m asking you to give me a chance to make a brief case.

Whenever we visit Disney World, we always see reminders of home.

Disney’s The Boardwalk

It's modeled after Atlantic City, New Jersey. When you are there, you will see constant reminders of Atlantic City.

The Boardwalk itself and the numerous photos and other Atlantic City items, such as Miss America photos, old Atlantic City hotels and many other Atlantic City artifacts.

Here is the Atlantic City iconic rolling chair in Disney World, with the always lovely Margie Hurley.
