Dude, it’s a 2-inch thick aluminum panel, … It looks like … Disneyland.

Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow, and fantasy.

Whatever form it might take, enjoy the magic! Remember, Disneyland is all about you.

Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.

Fantasyland was designed as a home for some of the classic characters [from those films], and as a symbol of the magic, hope and beauty of the human imagination.

There is more treasure in books than in all the pirate’s loot on Treasure Island.

Eventually I would learn that the enchanting tree was one of the resort’s signatures, one of those subtle delightful touches that resonate on poetic, artistic, and even spiritual frequencies.

How can you expect people never to hurt you? That is not possible, not even in disney land.

On some level, with its carrousels and castle and cowboys, its mysterious jungle and its animated characters, Disneyland is a highly idealized elaboration of our childhoods. It can be seen as a portal through which...

The little people you see running around over here are not Mouseketeers. Some of them are friendly, and some of them have a strong desire to kill you. If you remember that, and manage to...

For many, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime, long dreamed-of and longed-saved-for trip. Pennies have been pinched and sacrifices made to make the vacation a reality. All Guests’ wallets will be separated from a great deal of money,...

Walt also had a humorous sign posted outside the mansion, recruiting ghosts who wanted to enjoy ‘active retirement’ in the “country club atmosphere’ of this ‘fashionable address’. Interested ghosts were to write to the ‘Ghost...

Compared to the rest of the world, it’s like we’re living in Disneyland.

Few seem to be able to eat a turkey leg at Disneyland without splattering tsunami scale grease, so grab plenty of napkins or wear a bib, tablecloth or scuba suit.

People who go to Disney who have magic in themselves experience magic there, just as people who go to the grocery store who have magic in themselves experience magic at the grocery store. The principle...

I made sure my tenure did not end until Hong Kong Disneyland opened and several other things were wrapped up. I’m so pleased with the way it has all come out.

Whence the possibility of an ideological analysis of Disneyland (L. Marin did it very well in Utopiques, jeux d’espace [Utopias, play of space]): digest of the American way of life, panegyric of American values, idealized...

I remember the first time we stood in this spot. We were on the deck of a boat in the middle of what was then Penny’s Bay, envisioning what could be, what would be, what...
