visionary filmmaker who brought his film library, his love of technology, and his business sense to
American television in the mid-1950s. His ground-breaking television program, Disneyland, helped
establish fledgling network ABC, pointed the way toward that network's increasing reliance on Hollywood-
originated filmed programming, and provided much needed financing for Disney's pioneering theme park.
Since the late 1920s, Disney had been a public figure, Hollywood's best known independent studio head. He
had first achieved success with animated short subjects starring the character with whom he is best
associated, Mickey Mouse. In 1937, his studio had produced the first full-length animated motion picture,
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. In the late 1940s, beginning with Song of the South (1946), the Disney
studio had also branched out into live-action films, but it was primarily associated, then as now, with
animation.”

Disneyland gives you cravings once you hear about it, you would want to go and try it in a heart beat. Disney Parks do
neither sale gum nor alcohol Mr. Walt Disney did not want the guests to often find themselves scraping off gooey gum of
their shoes. He did not want the guests to be bothered with the nuisance so gum is not to be sold at any Disney park. He
made sure that the maintenance crews would walk around making sure the parks were clean for the next day.
Mr. Walt Disney had a vision of making rides out of Disney characters such as: Dumbo, Mickey Mouse, and tea cups
ect. . The rides were the ones who brought people back and so would the live concerts the rollercoaster’s are the main rides
that come back for. There are different rides in different areas of the park: Frontier land has big thunder mountain, critter
country has Splash Mountain, and Fantasyland has Matterhorn Bobsleds. The rides affected America with joy and laughter
everyone at the end of the day would be satisfied and would want to come back for more. He had also designed the mascots
and their customs; the mascots who are the Disney characters made the children feel comfort. There for the children
wouldn’t be scared to take pictures with nor play with. The mascots are also the excitement of Disney parks if a child or and
adult were having a bad day the mascots were to make them feel better. Each land in the park had their own crew wears like
