This proved to be a difficult task, since the land he wanted was owned by no fewer than twenty families.

Owners of other parks said it was impossible to succeed without dangerous rides and using methods that were at least a little dishonest. However, Disney went on with his plans for a clean, safe park, which he decided to call Disneyland. At last Disneyland was built and opened to the public. Very quickly, it came to be regarded as one of the wonders of the modern world through its gates. Disneyland was a personal satisfaction to Disney.

Even today, Disneyland is kept spotless. Every night, every street and walkway are washed, and workers with knives get down on their hands and knees to scrape out chewing gum dropped by visitors. Disney himself didn’t live long enough to visit his Florida park. Death came in December 1966.
