Without a man, there would be no “happiest place on earth”, also known as Disneyland. That man was Walt Disney.
Disney was born in 1901 in Chicago, Illinois. As a child, he enjoyed drawing and even sold his pictures to his neighbors. In 1918, Disney joined the Red Cross and drove an ambulance (救护车) in France during World War I (第一次世界大战). After the war ended, Disney started making short cartoons in Kansas City, but soon he used up all his money. He decided to get a job in Hollywood. He went to California with only $20 with him.
It took a while, but Disney began to enjoy success with his cartoons. He created Mickey Mouse, the most famous cartoon character ever. Then in 1937,
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs came out and it was a huge success. During the following years, Disney made many more movies that we still watch today, including Pinocchio, Dumbo, and Bambi.
In the 1940s, Disney had an idea of building a fun park for families and the idea grew bigger and bigger ... Years after Disney first had the idea, the first Disneyland opened in 1955 in Anaheim, California. At that time, the ticket cost a dollar. By 1965, 50 million visitors had visited Disneyland.
