"Disneyland really began when my two daughters..." - Quote by Walt Disney
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 only hope that we don't lose sight of one thing - that it was all started by a mouse.”
“There are fashions in reading, even in thinking. You don't have to follow them unless you want to. On the other hand, watch out. Don't stick too closely to your favorite subject. That would keep you from adventuring into other fields. It's silly to build a wall around your interests.”
“The worst of us is not without innocence, although buried deeply it might be.”

“Biggest problem? Well, I'd say it's been my biggest problem all my life. MONEY. It takes a lot of money to make these dreams come true. From the very start it was a problem. Getting the money to open Disneyland. About seventeen million it took. And we had everything mortgaged including my personal insurance.”
“Disneyland is the star, everything else is in the supporting role.”
“The way I see it, Disneyland will never be finished.”
