The day before my birthday, October 25th, my girlfriend and I made the decision to attend just one of the many parks that belong to the Disney Realm. The happiest place on earth. Walking onto Hollywood Boulevard at Disney’s Hollywood Studios was just the beginning of all my excitement as we walked towards the Crossroad of the World to acquire a locker key; I couldn’t help but look around in amazement. It was a bright and sunny day, the shops all lined at the edges of the streets greeted us with…

The first Peanuts comic strip was introduced on October 2nd, 1950 illustrated by a man named Charles M. Schulz. The last strip was printed on February 13th, 2000, a day after Mr. Schultz died. There are hints on why certain things were named in the strip. His address is “1770 James Street” in Minneapolis.” It was invented because Charles was an average student and when someone found him and that he could draw they signed a 5 year contact with him to work for the Peanuts comic strip.…
Walt Disney is one of the most known names in America, and even all over the world. His success and stories are a prime example of the American dream and what it means to go after what one believes in. Walt set a legacy through his work, starting in his early life, later leading into building his business, and finally finishing off his legacy and leaving it to trusted people today. Walt Disney was born in Chicago Illinois in 1901. He was the fourth of five kids with a hardworking mother and an…
In 1940, a few seventeen year-old boys accidentally discovered Lascaux in southwestern France. It wasn’t before long until archaeologists got their hands on these cave paintings, and starting dissecting any artifacts that were on the scene (Lascaux, New World Encyclopedia). These Paleolithic paintings demonstrated their explicit Stone Age artwork, current culture, and human development (Lascaux, New World Encyclopedia). But by 1979, the caves were closed to the public in order to preserve the…
“All our dreams can come true if we pursue them.” Those words some words to live by, I pursued and I did. In February, earlier this year... It was a cold winter day in Bloomington, Illinois.

I will be showing that Disneyland is a theme park that people should visit because it creates good memories and it has rides for people young and old. Even though the price is higher than other parks like it, you are paying for quality and lastly there are fun activities for adults too. Firstly, Disneyland is a great place to create memories whether you are young or old.…
around talking and interacting with those who came to Disney. These thoughts were occurring to him as he was at an amusement parking sitting while his daughters were playing. Walt never wanted his amusement park to be like the typical one. He once said “What this country really needs is an amusement park that families can take their children to. They’ve gotten so honky tonk with a lot of questionable characters running around, and they’re not too safe. They’re not well kept. I want to have…
The maker of Disneyland once said, “Disneyland is a work of love. We didn’t go into Disneyland just with the idea of making money” (Disney). Walt Disney is the creator of Disneyland, and he saw his dream come to life when Disneyland was built. He had always dreamed of a theme park that was unlike any others where he could see his own characters that he created come to life. He wanted to bring joy and excitement to people. He mostly wanted to see people having fun and be filled with nothing but…
the modern day theme park. Of course, Knott's Berry Farm opened before my theme park, but my park is widely considered to be the first real theme park. It all started in the 1930s when I took my kids to amusement parks, such as Coney Island. "Daddy, I wanna go on that one!" My daughter Diane said, pointing to a carousel at Griffith Park in Los Angeles. I sat down in a bench watching her and my other daughter, Sharon, have their fun, and thought "What if there was a park that the whole family…
