Richard Snow's 2019 account of Walt Disney's creation of Disneyland — the story of how Disney ignored all expert advice, personally funded the park's development, and created an entirely new form of entertainment from scratch.
Documents the specific mechanisms of Walt Disney's visionary execution — the use of miniature models, the insistence on immersive storytelling in every detail, the refusal to listen to financiers who told him it was impossible — making it the definitive account of how Disneyland was built as a personal vision imposed on reality.
