Walt Disney envisioned a place where families could have fun together, inspired by his own experiences taking his daughters to amusement parks. He began developing the concept for Disneyland.

Construction of Disneyland began in Anaheim, California. The project faced numerous challenges, including financial constraints and logistical complexities.

Disneyland opened its gates to the public, initially facing chaotic conditions on its opening day. Despite the initial setbacks, the park quickly gained popularity and became a major tourist destination.

Disney designed and created several attractions for the 1964 New York World's Fair, including "It's a Small World," "Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln," "Carousel of Progress," and "Ford's Magic Skyway". These attractions showcased new technologies and techniques that would later be incorporated into Disneyland and Walt Disney World.

Walt Disney announced plans for a new theme park and resort complex in Florida, which would later become Walt Disney World. He envisioned a much larger and more ambitious project than Disneyland.
