Capturing the Magic: A Photographic Celebration of the Disneyland Resort
Immerse yourself in the pages of Capturing the Magic's Disneyland for a visual journey through the history and details of Walt Disney's magical world. Walt Disney had a vision. It was a vision of a place where children and parents could have fun together. After numerous visits to Los Angeles' Griffith Park with his daughters, Diane and Sharon, Walt Disney dreamed of opening an amusement park with attractions that could entertain the whole family. Disney originally envisioned utilizing the 8-acre space adjacent to his studios in Burbank; however, he soon realized the space would not be vast enough to house his creative plans. Walt hired a consultant to find the appropriate venue for his proposed project and ultimately purchased a 160-acre tract of orange groves in Anaheim, poaching the best talent from his studios to breathe life into his vision. Thus, the "Happiest Place on Earth" was born. Today, Disney Parks can be found all around the world, but Disneyland, the only park created entirely under Walt's supervision, remains the cornerstone of America's theme parks and the second most visited theme park in the world. Capturing the Magic celebrates the wonder of the Disneyland Park, Walt Disney's magical lands where stories, fantasy, and enchantment. Leave today behind as the creators of Capturing the Magic take readers on a visual celebration of the world of yesterday, tomorrow and fantasy. With hundreds of breathtaking images of Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure Park, Downtown Disney District and the Hotels of Disneyland Resort, Capturing the Magic highlights the evolution of Walt's vision, the design and Imagineering and the magic held within each immersive land. Author Holly Wiencek crafts an excellent story of Walt Disney's legacy using her insider experiences, extensive Disney research and rich historical details, coupled with fantastic imagery to make readers feel as if they have just stepped into the magic.
