    Fun documentary.

    4 out of 5 stars.

    This will make every disney fan happy. It was fun to see a little history about Walt Disney and the start of Disneyland. The creation. The story behind his attractions. Does make you want to visit the park again.

    • Quotes

      Marty Sklar: There's a boat every few seconds coming through here. So the story has to be continuous. X got very nervous. And he thought he'd written too much narration. And Walt said, "No, think of it this way. It's like a big cocktail party. You hear bits of dialogue here, stories over here... This is even better because people can come back and go through it again. And they'll see something new, and they'll hear something new."
