In addition to being a financial success, Disneyland was a personal satisfaction to his founder Walt Disney. It expressed his ideas of all that is true and good and beautiful in this world. He never was tired of visiting the park himself, of expanding it and improving it. Even today, Disneyland is kept spotless. Every night, each street and walkway is washed, and workers with knives get down on their hands and knees to scrape (刮,擦) up chewing gum that has been dropped by visitors. (Visitors to the park are called “guests” never “customers”) Every year, some 800,000 plants are replaced because Disney refused to put up signs asking his “guests” not to step on them. All of this has reduced the profits, but it adds immeasurably to the attraction of the park. Undoubtedly it helps explain why an amazing fifty percent of the people who enter Disneyland’s gates have been there before.
The park’s general design contributes to the visitor’s pleasure. There are plenty of shade trees, much grass, and lots of cool water in ponds and lakes and rivers—all man-made. The park is divided into five sections. In one section, the visitor walks along an American Main Street as Disney remembered from his childhood. Another section (Tomorrow land) shows the world of the future. A third, Adventure land, satisfies the universal love of exploration. Still another, Fantasyland, takes the visitor into the dreamlike worlds made famous by Disney films. Finally there is Frontier land, which represents the Old west. It is possible, in a single day, to visit in imagination every continent and almost every historical period. There is something for every group.
Most of what has been said about Disneyland is also true of Walt Disney World. This is a second huge amusement park outside of Orlando, Florida, designed to thrill east-coast visitors as Disneyland has thrilled those in the west. Millions of children and adults have visited its Main Street, Magic Kingdom, and other unforgettable attractions.
