Summary

Disneyland is not only the first Disney Park created around the world. It's also the only Disney Park that Walt Disney personally visited. Walt Disney helped to develop so many specific elements of Disneyland, many of which are still visible today, and there are countless stories that describe how Walt helped to create and transform "the happiest place on earth." In this two-part episode, I chat with Kelly Washington of Slice of Disney and Philander Butler to share some of our favorite stories about Walt Disney at Disneyland.
