Walt Disney World, the Vacation Kingdom, is protected by one of the most advanced systems of our modern era. Overseeing the facilities, utilities, fire protection, security and public health and safety of its guests is an integrated network of computers. These computers, interconnected in a multithreaded manner, form the nucleus of an Automatic Monitoring and Control System (AM&CS), which keeps its fingers on the pulse of the entire Wall Disney World complex. The system described herein is designed in such a manner that failure of critical elements results in a gracefully degraded mode of operation without loss of critical information.
