COMING AUGUST 2008!
"To all who come to this happy place...welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here age fond memories of the past, and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams, and the hard facts that have created America. With the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world." -Walt Disney (1955-Disneyland Dedication Speech)
Walt Disney was the creator of all the characters we know, love, and play today. His first full-length animated motion picture, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, was a huge success and the tradition of animated classics continued. Following Snow White’s big break, Pinocchio came along with his conscience and became a real boy. Then the baby elephant Dumbo soared onto the big screen. And the tradition has continued for nearly a century.
And what about the Disney Parks? The parks that Disney’s company had always dreamed of? Walt’s dream came true in 1955 when the first Disney Park, the Disneyland Resort, opened and has continued for the past 53 years with the new and old visiting from all over the world. The nickname for the place is called ‘The Happiest Place on Earth. When Disneyland turned 50 years old, there were already four new parks. The next park hails in Orlando, Florida, which opened in 1971, and is the largest park of the five. This park is called Walt Disney World, which consists of six parks. The next park was the first international park, and was released in Tokyo, Japan in 1983, named Tokyo Disneyland Resort. The next park was placed in Paris, France in 1992, and the name given was Euro Disney, or Disneyland Paris. And finally, in 2005, Hong Kong Disneyland was added to the batch.
The theme for this year is the Year of a Million Dreams. Indeed, many dreams were granted during this special time of year. More attractions and special events were included, making the park a truly magical place to visit.
BUT, what if the Disney characters were the guests?
As a special treat, the Cast Members of the Disney Parks decided to open their gates to the Disney characters as a vacation treat. There, the characters were able to experience the fun that every Guest had. Now, they parks were theirs.
And we can’t forget the most cunning, yet amusing villains. As part of the heroes’ treats, the parks were to remain villain free.
However, on one night, a terrible storm corrupted. The evil sorceress Maleficent was resurrected and decided to resurrect all the villains once more. Angered that the heroes have found their happy placse, they decide to have a little fun for themselves, or simply mischief. Though uninvited, they broke into the parks out of curiosity.
The villains’ ultimate goal was to turn the Happiest Places on Earth into the Villainous Places on Earth. Soon, the Disneyland Parks weren’t at all, very happy places to stay.
With some worried, concerned, and afraid, the heroes and heroines have decided to protect the parks, and somehow, drive the villains out. What will be the fate of the heroes and villains, or even the Happiest Places on Earth?
It’s all part of the Disney magic.
