DISNEYLAND HISTORY
One day Walt Disney had a vision. It was a vision of a place where children and parents could have fun together. The more Walt dreamed of a "magical park," the more imaginative and elaborate it became.
Walt needed space to build rivers, waterfalls, and mountains, it would have flying elephants and giant teacups, a fairy-tale castle, moon rockets, and a scenic railway, all inside a magic kingdom he called "Disneyland.“
Construction for Disneyland began on July 21, 1954, a meager 12 months before the park was scheduled to open. From that day forward Walt Disney's life would never be the same.
DISNEYLAND LANDS
There are 8 lands in DISNEYLAND:
Main Street, U.S.A. is patterned after a typical Midwest town of the early 20th century. Walt Disney derived inspiration from his boyhood town of Marceline, Missouri and worked closely with designers and architects to develop the Main Street appeal. It is the first area guests see when they enter the park.
Adventureland is designed to recreate the feel of an exotic tropical place in a far-off region of the world. "To create a land that would make this dream reality", said Walt Disney, "we pictured ourselves far from civilization, in the remote jungles of Asia and Africa." Attractions include opening day's Jungle Cruise, the "Temple of the Forbidden Eye" in Indiana Jones Adventure, and Tarzan's Tree house.
Critter Country opened in 1972 as "Bear Country", and was renamed in 1988. Today, the main draw of the area is Splash Mountain, a log-flume journey inspired by the Uncle Remus stories of Joel Chandler Harris and the animated segments of Disney's Academy Award-winning 1946 film, Song of the South.
Fantasyland is the area of Disneyland of which Walt Disney said, "What youngster has not dreamed of flying with Peter Pan over moonlit London, or tumbling into Alice's nonsensical Wonderland? In Fantasyland, these classic stories of everyone's youth have become realities for youngsters – of all ages – to participate in“.Attractions include several dark rides, the King Arthur Carrousel, and various family attractions.
Mickey's Toontown opened in 1993. Toontown features two main attractions: Gadget's Go Coaster and Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin. The "city" is also home to cartoon character's houses such as the house of Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and Goofy, as well as Donald Duck's boat.
Tomorrowland was created as a look at the "marvels of the future. Walt said:"Tomorrow can be a wonderful age. Our scientists today are opening the doors of the Space Age to achievements that will benefit our children and generations to come. . .The Tomorrow land attractions have been designed to give you an opportunity to participate in adventures that are a living blueprint of our future. Current attractions include Space Mountain, Innoventions, Captain EO Tribute, the Disneyland Monorail Tomorrow land Station, the Astro Orbitor and Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters.
