There's a great summary post of all the websites and phone numbers found thus far over at MiceChat:

In response to a query I emailed in, I received an additional document relating to the world's fair from Lott Construction! Hope this helps in your research!

Here is their email response:

Quote:
Dear Nick,

Well, I'm not sure what you want me to tell you. Projects on that scale have all kinds of secrets. None of which I can tell you. Partly because that was fifty-some-odd years ago, and partly because I promised never to share what I saw. If you don't believe me, take a look. I made an attachment to this email. I took a marker to all the secret bits though.

Yours truly,

Michael T. Lott

The last blacked segment reads "Mark 0 Project" by the way

And the first and third blacked out bars are the previously mentioned "The City."
Second seems to be "Florida Project."

Edit: Also, is that MARK 0, or MARK 8? Could also be MARK G, as far as I can tell. It's a bit too pixelated.

Edit 2: trying to piece together the remaining black spaces. Number 4 is "_________ signal ________ " and Number 5 is "______ apparatus"

Okay I think this is pretty awesome. A few days ago in the Dail "T" for Tam post, Amelia encouraged people to go to The Tam and sit at Walt Disney's favorite table.
Here's the flickr set http://www.flickr.com/photos/wanderlust_traveler/sets/72157634599505043/
What's awesome is the table is carved with ARG references like "Contact Carlos about 'Tomorrow'" and "Call Lott". There's even a symbol that's been found in some DisneyCartography artwork.

Speaking of DisneyCartography I think it was found early via examining the server that storyorbit.com is on. Well guess what else is at The Tam. Artwork by Wallace everyone's favorite "I am a fictional character" artist! Which leads me to believe this is how we were intended to find DisneyCartography.com, go to The Tam, see this interesting artwork, go to the website listed on it.

Nice Finds guys. I was almost there but some of the pic websites do not work at my office. Blocked to say the least. I will help out when I can.

Waiting to hear back from Disney, but I should be getting my D23 Expo tickets pretty soon here. If and when this leads there, I'll do my best to help then.

I just noticed on twitter Amelia's profile pic is named:

905b3bb69ba721c72f00174ee8825599

and Wallace's is:

6404024b0857b0c8d550a4c8528e2860

I don't know really the first thing about codes or ciphers etc, so I have no clue if these even mean anything, I just know they look like codes I've seen in other games. So maybe its something, maybe not. Dunno

Still not yet convinced that this is a lead-in to Tomorrowland, but this find definitely adds another connection:

Note the red marking on the upper right corner of the "1952" box.

so here is the next pic. shows a bunch of stuff from the worlds fair in 64. What i want to know is what is on the slides and I am thinking some of these things might be sent out to players. Not sure, but wouldn't it be cool to get a set of slides that we have to find a slide projector to use.

Anyone else get one of the vinyl records?

I'm convinced there are different "hidden tracks" on these and we need to combine them.

They appear to sync up with the Carousel of Progress in the Magic Kingdom: http://storyorbit.com/about-those-records#comment-2887

I received one of the vinyl records yesterday, unfortunately I don't have any way to play it at the moment. I also need to catch up on my reading of Amelia's blog.

I also got one of the vinyl's last week. This is one of the best swag I have ever gotten! Also does anyone know if there is a value on it? And the song is "Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow" on the "Just A Dream Away" collection and "Volume 1 of 2" so I wonder who is getting the other song?
