That was exactly the historical moment when he was visited by inspiration that made him creating a wonderful dream world.
He was dreaming while sitting alone in a corner, not quite understanding the feelings of joy of his little girls, and he came to an idea that “it is necessary to invent something like a family park where the parents and children could have fun together.” Before he began managing this new project, Walt Disney and his team examined all of the amusement parks, in order to realize how to do and how not to. He was stating that “Our Park should not have anything in common with all of the parks that already existed”. In his vision the park was supposed to have only one entrance. And the park itself was conceived as a scenario for a comic book or as a movie, logical and dynamic, and its attractions to be unique in the world.
