various amusement parks with his daughters in the 1930s and 1940s.Walt Disney had a vision. There would
be a place where children and parents could have fun together. The original
plans for the park were only on 8 acres of land next to the Burbank studios where his employees and
families could go to relax. The World War II put those plans on hold. During
the war, Walt Disney had time to
come up with new ideas and thoughts to create his magical park.
