Welcome everyone. I'm at Walt Disney
0:02
World Resort. You know Walt Disney World
0:04
for a number of reasons. Whether it be
0:06
the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal
0:08
Kingdom, Disney's Hollywood Studios, or
0:11
the plethora of restaurants and resorts
0:14
that actually encompass the surrounding
0:16
areas. But I am here today to talk about
0:18
a little known fact that some people
0:21
might not be familiar with. Have you
0:22
ever heard of the group The Beatles?
0:25
Well, they actually called it quits.
0:28
Legally, officially ended their tenure
0:31
together right here at the Polynesian
0:34
Resort, which actually happens to be
0:37
directly in front of us. You want to
0:38
check it out? Of course you do. Join me.
0:41
Shall you?

The
1:09
world. In 1969, John Linen shouted to
1:09
the rest of the other Beatles, "I want a
1:10
divorce." Hence, starting the wheels in
1:13
motion for the demise and the ending of
1:15
the group, the Beatles. A lot of people
1:17
will say that the Beatles broke up in
1:19
1970, but due to lots of red tape and
1:23
legal mumbo jumbo, it actually
1:25
officially did not pinpoint the breakup
1:29
until December 29th,
1:32
1974, right
1:34
here at the Polynesian
1:42
Resort. Just 10 days before the
1:42
paperwork was signed, George Harrison
1:43
and Paul McCartney were waiting
1:45
patiently with the Apple lawyers at the
1:47
Plaza Hotel in New York City. Ringo had
1:50
already signed off on the paperwork and
1:52
they were waiting for John to arrive,
1:54
which was very interesting because John
1:56
Linen actually lived within walking
1:58
distance of the Plaza Hotel. As they
2:00
waited, their impatience started to grow
2:02
and they started to realize John was not
2:05
showing up. And the reason for that is
2:07
because I pulled a fast one and actually
2:09
was vacationing here, not with Yokoono,
2:13
but with a
2:14
secretary
2:16
lover. You sly
2:20
dog. A very disgruntled Paul and George
2:23
scribbled their names on the bottom of
2:25
the final contract ending the Beatles,
2:27
and the lawyer went on a mission to find
2:29
John Linen. 10 days later, he arrived
2:32
here. And what room was John Linen
2:35
staying in? There is a lot of
2:36
discrepancy. There is a lot of
2:38
controversy on what room it is. But due
2:41
to some Columbo-like research of my own,
2:44
I think I have actually found the exact
2:46
spot where the Beatles ended. Oh yes.
2:56
Years later in her memoirs, May Pang,
2:56
who was the woman in question that was
2:57
here with John Linen, actually wrote a
3:00
very descriptive account of her time
3:01
spent at Walt Disney World and the
3:04
Polynesian Resort. And as best as we can
3:07
decide, they were actually staying at
3:09
the
3:11
Samoa long house, one of the original
3:13
eight long houses here at the Pali. And
3:16
the room was right there on the very
3:19
corner, the very bottom corner facing
3:23
the pool, facing Walt Disney World's
3:26
Magic
3:46
Kingdom. Now, a lot has changed since
3:46
1974. The pool has been redone. The
3:49
walkways and the foliage have all
3:52
changed in these decades later. But
3:54
there is actually a photo of John Linen
3:57
hanging out right here in front of the
4:02
wouldbe room, which is now
4:05
numbered
4:07
16001, the bottom floor facing the pool.
4:17
As the story goes, when he got the
4:18
paperwork, he told May Pang, "Grab your
4:20
camera." Because he wanted this event to
4:23
be documented. And then as he sat there
4:27
with the contract in hand and pen in
4:29
hand, he looked over the Seven Seas
4:33
Lagoon over the pool area directly
4:36
towards the Magic Kingdom straight
4:38
ahead.
