Hey everybody, welcome to Unlocking the Magic.

You're listening to episode number 424.

I am looking forward to sharing this episode with you today because we are unlocking all the magic of Disney memories on the show.

I'm Bruce, that's Constantine over there and we're going to hang out with you here for a little bit and hope you like it.

That's right, that's our tagline. We hope you like it. We really hope that this show is an escape for you and just give you some Disney magic from wherever you are.

That's right, we hope that you can enjoy, sit back, give you a little bit of reminiscing about past trips or think about future trips

that you're going to be going on and how do you make those trips memorable? So that way, 15 or 20 years from now, you look back and think fondly of your trip instead of thinking back and be like wow, that was stressful.

From the moment we step into any of the parks, whether it's the iconic and original, the OG Disneyland Resort in California,

while Disney World in Florida or any of the parks worldwide, I'm looking forward to some day visiting the worldwide parks. There's so many.

We really hope that it is a journey filled with unforgettable memories. So in this episode, we're going to unlock the secrets of why Disney is so incredible at creating some of the best moments.

And then we're going to share some of your great memories sent over to us by our Club UTM goers.

Yes, thank you for all the feedback over there on Club UTM. We appreciate you and we hope you like it too, which I think you do because you're in Club UTM.

Before we get into the podcast, though, just want to set the mood in the tone for the show. This first clip, we're going to play a couple clips from you in this first one is Walt Disney. One of my favorite clips of Walt Disney him describing why he's doing a interview with a new station.

And he just the question was, why did you start Disneyland? Like, what was the thought process and why did you want to create Disneyland? And this is his response.

Well, it came about when my daughters were very young and my Saturday was always the daddy's day with the two daughters. So we'd start out and try to go someplace with different things.

And I would take them to the merry ground and I took them different places. And as I'd sit there while they rode the merry ground, did all these things, sit on a bench, eating peanuts.

I felt that there should be something built, some kind of a amusement enterprise built where that the parents and the children could have fun together.

So that's how Disneyland started. Well, it took many years. It was a whole period of maybe 15 years developing.

I started with many ideas through them away, started all over again and eventually it evolved into what you see today as Disneyland. But it all started from a daddy with two daughters wondering where he could take them where he could have a little fun with them too.

You know, and all honesty, sitting on a bench eating peanuts, watching your kids have fun, kind of sounds good.
