U. S. Disney Magic – Sheet of 20

The third largest entertainment and media company in the world is The Walt Disney Company. It was founded in October 1923 by brothers Roy and Walt Disney. The company first began as a small animation studio. As of today, the empire now owns 11theme parks, several television networks and has one of the biggest Hollywood studios. They are headquartered in Burbank, California and enjoy astounding revenues.

Disneyland opened, after one year of construction, on July 17, 1955 to mixed reviews. On opening day, water fountains did not work, the park ran out of food, there was a gas leak that closed down much of the park, and the women’s high heels sank in the newly poured cement when they walked. Even today, Disney employees wear blank ribbons on July 17th, in remembrance of the failures of that day. By the second day of opening, the magic that was Walt Disney’s dream had come true. The press fully supported Disney and the visitors came by the thousands. To date, there have been over 515 million guests visiting Disneyland alone.
