Disneyland is not just another amusement park. It's unique, and I want it kept that way. Besides, you don't work for a dollar - you work to create and have fun.

I could never convince the financiers that Disneyland was feasible, because dreams offer too little collateral.
Walt Disney
Image
Until a character becomes a personality it cannot be believed. Without personality, the character may do funny or interesting things, but unless people are able to identify themselves with the character, its actions will seem unreal. And without personality, a story cannot ring true to the audience.
Walt Disney

Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long.
Walt Disney
Image
Fear too often spells failure.
Walt Disney
Image
When we do fantasy, we must not lose sight of reality.
Walt Disney
Image
I just want to leave you with this thought, that it's just been sort of a dress rehearsal, and we're just getting started. So if any of you start resting on your laurels, I mean just forget it, because...we are just getting started.
Walt Disney

Disneyland is something that will never be finished. It's something that I can keep developing. It will be a live, breathing thing that will need change. A picture is a thing, once you wrap it up and turn it over to Technicolor, you're through. Snow White is a dead issue with me. But I can change the park, because it's alive.

We have always tried to be guided by the basic idea that, in the discovery of knowledge, there is great entertainment - as, conversely, in all good entertainment, there is always some grain of wisdom, humanity, or enlightenment to be gained.
Walt Disney

I try to build a full personality for each of our cartoon characters - to make them personalities.

Why would I want to be president? I'm the king of Disneyland.
Walt Disney
Image
I love the nostalgic myself. I hope we never lose some of the things of the past.
Walt Disney
Image
I never called my work an 'art'. It's part of show business, the business of building entertainment.
Walt Disney
Image
We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious... and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.
Walt Disney
Image
Faith I have, in myself, in humanity, in the worthwhileness of the pursuits in entertainment for the masses. But wide awake, not blind faith, moves me. My operations are based on experience, thoughtful observation and warm fellowship with my neighbors at home and around the world.
Walt Disney
Image
The inclination of my life...has been to do things & make things which will give pleasure to people in new and amazing ways.
Walt Disney
Image
I believe firmly in the efficacy of religion, in its powerful influence on a person's whole life. It helps immeasurably to meet the storms and stress of life and keep you attuned to the Divine inspiration. Without inspiration, we would perish.
Walt Disney
Image
The idea of Disneyland is a simple one. It will be a place for people to find happiness and knowledge.
Walt Disney
Image
Disneyland is like a piece of clay: If there is something I don't like, I'm not stuck with it. I can reshape and revamp.

Curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

I definitely feel that we cannot do the fantastic things based on the real, unless we first know the real.
