Description
To those who knew the creator of Mickey Mouse, Disney Land was “just one of Walt’s screwy ideas.” According to Richard F. Snow, author of the new book Disney’s Land: Walt Disney and the Invention of the Amusement Park that Changed the World, the legendary cartoonist persevered with his vision despite near financial ruin and a disastrous opening day. In this episode of What’s Ahead, Steve talks to Snow about the epic failures and eventual triumph that made Disney Land the global icon that it is today.
