On Disneyland
- Biggest problem? Well, I'd say it's been my biggest problem all my life. MONEY. It takes a lot of money to make these dreams come true. From the very start it was a problem. Getting the money to open Disneyland. About seventeen million it took. And we had everything mortgaged including my personal insurance.
- Disneyland is a show.
- Disneyland is the star, everything else is in the supporting role.
- Disneyland is a work of love. We didn't go into Disneyland just with the idea of making money.
- Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.
- Disneyland is not just another amusement park. It's unique, and I want it kept that way. Besides, you don't work for a dollar - you work to create and have fun.
- I don't want the public to see the world they live in while they're in the Park (Disneyland). I want to feel they're in another world.
- I first saw the site for Disneyland back in 1953, In those days it was all flat land - no rivers, no mountains, no castles or rocket ships - just orange groves, and a few acres of walnut trees.
- It's something that will never be finished. Something that I can keep developing...and adding to.
- It has that thing - the imagination, and the feeling of happy excitement - I knew when I was a kid.
- It's no secret that we were sticking just about every nickel we had on the chance that people would really be interested in something totally new and unique in the field of entertainment.
- To all that come to this happy place: welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past, and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams, and the hard facts that have created America... with hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world.
- We believed in our idea - a family park where parents and children could have fun- together.
- We did it (Disneyland), in the knowledge that most of the people I talked to thought it would be a financial disaster - closed and forgotten within the first year.
- When we opened Disneyland, a lot of people got the impressions that it was a get-rich-quick thing, but they didn't realize that behind Disneyland was this great organization that I built here at the Studio, and they all got into it and we were doing it because we loved to do it.
