In 1955, Walt Disney's dream of a theme park, the first of its kind in the world, came true. Disney historian Jim Korkis' entertaining tale of an American pop culture icon is power-packed with details, and the most thorough account of Disneyland's early days ever published.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Walt Disney once said: \"it takes people to make the dream a reality\". Korkis never loses sight of the many people who built Disneyland, from famous Imagineers to obscure ticket takers. From their stories he crafts the epic adventure of how Walt conjured magic from an orange grove, with all the politics and the pixie dust, and the thrill of doing what no one had ever done before.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJust a few of the highlights from Disneyland 1955: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe many little-known inspirations for Disneyland\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst-person narratives from Disneyland cast members who were there on opening day\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow politics and corporate wheeling and dealing were instrumental in getting Disneyland off the ground\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe story of the short-lived (and little missed) Mickey Mouse Club Circus\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComprehensive almanacs of Main Street and the four \"lands\" in the park, as they existed in 1955\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKORKIS IS YOUR \"K-TICKET\" TO DISNEYLAND...1955!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 242\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.51 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 03, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45847820566725,"sku":"9798896090205","price":31.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/NmMZ2Ep-Gj9798896090205_545c0459-ee24-4f9c-8e62-c894bd268052.webp?v=1771414382","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/the-unofficial-disneyland-1955-companion-the-anecdotal-story-of-the-birth-of-the-happiest-place-on-earth-paperback-2","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
