 by Sam. 10.25.21 Walt Disney World is filled with a bevy of interesting historical tidbits. From Richard Nixon's "I'm Not A Crook" speech at the Contemporary ballroom to another far less known event - the official breakup of the Beatles? Check out Ultimate Classic Rock's article below, followed with our photos of just where it went down... **** Leave it to John Lennon to make the Beatles break up official by signing the termination papers while on holiday at Disney World. Lennon, the last of the four to actually sign off on the contract, was the first to shout out “I want a divorce” before he walked out of a meeting at Apple headquarters with the other three members present back in 1969.
