From its beginnings, Disneyland was destined to be something
entirely different from the standard mid-century amusement park. To
sell his dream park to investors and the public, Walt Disney
recruited Hollywood art directors and sketch artists to design the
grounds around the mythic settings and high-minded ideals commonly
expressed on the silver screen. This book focuses on the initial
planning of Disneyland and its first year of operation, a time when
Walt personally oversaw every detail of the park's development.
Divided into chapters by park zone, it reveals how the five sectors
were constructed using illusionistic tricks of stage design.
Reaching beyond structure and design, chapters also explore how the
sectors--Main Street, U.S.A., Frontierland, Tomorrowland,
Adventureland and Fantasyland--represented themes found in Disney
stories, familiar movie genres and American culture at large.
