DISNEYLAND
The idea of Disneyland is a simple one. It will be a place for people to find happiness and fun.
Walt Disney
Walt Disney began thinking of creating his own park when he took his young daughters to local amusement parks. He would sit on a bench and watch his girls ride the carousel round and round. Other parents and grandparents did the same, but they didnt seem to be enjoying themselves. The parks were dirty and run by workers with cigarettes hanging out of their mouths. Disney thought, what if a park were clean and fun for children, parents, and grandparents alike?
Originally, Disney considered opening a small Mickey Mouse Park at the Disney Studios. The more he thought about it, the more his dream grew, but he lacked financing. Then, when Disney was given the opportunity to create his own television show, he had a brilliant idea. Thats how well finance the park! he declared. Disney convinced ABC to become a key investor in his park and used the TV show to promote it. Every Sunday, America watched Disneys dream grow. Known as Disneyland, the park started as an orange grove and became a wonderland. It was clear that Disneyland would be different from all other parks. Buildings were planned with exquisite detail. Rides were unique, imaginative, and entertaining. Disney carefully orchestrated every aspect of the visitors experience, from hand-clapping music to patriotic shows and flower-filled gardens. Disneys dream continues today, and his parks are admired throughout the world.
CONSIDER THIS: Even an idea that has been around for hundreds of years can be improved. Develop your dream to its fullest potential, and you will stand alone at the top.
