Disney World Guide – Free Disney World Tips and Tricks

Often labeled the happiest place on Earth, Disneyland is a proven venue on providing and giving a total entertainment experience for the entire family. From offering tried and tested cartoon characters, to the latest amusement park rides, this great, wonderful place can be credited to one man’s vision – it’s founder, and namesake – Walter Elias “Walt” Disney.

An innovative, down-to-earth artist, who surprisingly only finished a year of high school, Walt Disney’s vision of a family-oriented theme park seemed only natural with his personality. After all, what great and fun projects can we expect from the person that created iconic cartoon characters such as Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck?

A risk-taker, Disney went into several projects that to some of his advisors, were of ill decisions. Disney proved them, and the world in effect, otherwise. One such example is Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which was not only the first full-length cel-animated feature in history, but also the most successful movie of that year (1938).

Another well-known, high-risk project he supervised, which he also proved to be otherwise profitable are the Disneyland theme parks.

Disneyland theme parks can be considered a conglomerate of everything Walt Disney thought of. Or better yet, all of the dreams and fun concepts that Disney personified into real life. This can be seen in the first Disneyland theme park, which is located at Anaheim, California.

Walt Disney’s revolutionary vision on prime, fun, family entertainment makes Disneyland theme parks a bar above other similar amusement centers. Just making use of the iconic Mickey Mouse silhouette image may be enough to garner theme parks everywhere, but Disney went far past that. An inclusion of then unheard tactics and strategies – such as making use of optical illusions to let families believe that the park entrances are nearby – and making use of the latest (and progressively, still updating) technology makes each theme park visit different from past visits. It’s like guaranteeing families that every visit will entirely be different from the rest.

Most importantly, Walt Disney had the family in mind. Whether it may be the major American families as its main attendants, each Disneyland theme park is designed to provide diverse activities for the entire family. Not just the park rides and cartoon characters will entertain guests, but also the very diverse cast of clowns, actors, impersonators and park attendants are trained to provide the theme park care each family deserves.

Disneyland also provides an eco-friendly approach on park maintenance. It has been recorded that for the Disneyland Anaheim, approximately 4.1 million cardboard, 1.3 million green waste pounds, 370,000 pounds of office paper and 17,240 pounds of aluminum cans are recycled each year. Talk about actually caring for the environment!

Truly, Disneyland lives to its tagline – the happiest place on Earth. Its wonderful appeal will rub on you, whether what age you are, wherever, whatever and whenever you may be.
