The Original Plans For Disneyland Are The Happiest Thing On Earth
Disneyland history is full of magical secrets. But even the most enthusiastic Disney fans may not know that you can see exactly what Walt Disney initially conceived the park to be, thanks to the dazzling plans he first drafted.
Below is Disneyland’s original prospectus, provided for your viewing pleasure by the website Boing Boing. It's made up of three sets of original pitch documents that Roy and Walt Disney used to raise money in order to build their park. The prospectus was reportedly drawn in 1953 -- two years before the park opened -- by animator Herb Ryman and Walt Disney himself. Thanks to an anonymous benefactor, it was first revealed to the public in 2014. Not even the Walt Disney Company had access to the prospectus at the time, Boing Boing reports, but now it’s available for the world to see.
