"I first saw the site for Disneyland..." - Quote by Walt Disney
I first saw the site for Disneyland back in 1953, In those days it was all flat land - no rivers, no mountains, no castles or rocket ships - just orange groves, and a few acres of walnut trees.

“Disneyland really began when my two daughters were very young. Saturday was always Daddy's Day and I would take them to the merry-go-round, and sit on a bench eating peanuts while they rode. And sitting there alone, I felt there should be something built, some kind of family park where parents and children could have fun together.”
“I think what I want Disneyland to be most of all is a happy place...”
“Disneyland is a work of love. We didn't go into Disneyland just with the idea of making money.”
