Disneyland迪斯尼乐园
Walt and Roy Disney began their
partnership on October 16, 1923 when they
signed a contract to produce the Alice Comedies, a series of six- to
eight-minute
animated films, or "shorts," combining live-action and
animation. What began as the Disney Brothers Studio evolved into The Walt
Disney Company.
Throughout the decades, the company has expanded worldwide from shorts to
feature-length
animated and live-action films and television production;
character
merchandise licensing;
consumer products retailing; book,
magazine and music publishing; Internet activities; television and radio
broadcasting; cable television programming; and the operation of theme
parks and resorts.
From the creation of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit in 1927 and the debut of
Mickey Mouse in 1928 to the premiere of Tarzan in 1999, animation has
remained the defining
signature of the company. Along the way, Disney has
added successful TV shows like Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, opened theme
parks in California, Florida, France and Japan, launched more than 700
Disney Stores and added brands such as Touchstone, Miramax, ABC and ESPN
to the fold.
To make the most of Disneyland - the
ultimate escapist
fantasy and the
blueprint for imitations worldwide - throw yourself right into it. Don't
think twice about anything and go on every ride you can. The high
admission price ($36) includes them all, although during peak periods each
one can
entail hours of queueing. Remember, too, that the
emphasis is on
family fun; the authorities take a dim view of anything remotely
anti-social and eject those they consider guilty.
