The impact on American Life and society
The Dream .
- Walt Disney words when Ronald Reagan introduced him
"To all who 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 which have created America ... with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world."
FACTORS IN AMERICAN SOCIETY (:
Mickey Mouse
Walt Disney's official mascot!!!!! Walt Disney made many cartoons with Mickey Mouse . They first started out as small cartoons and than later turned into films. Tv was becoming more and more popular and with America watching television the idea of Mickey Mouse coming alive would be even better. Mickey Mouse help inspire Walt Disney to create Disneyland.
Family
Disneyland changed the American society by brining families together and could have a good time . Instead of going to just a community park or a drive in movie the whole family could try something new and enjoy themselves together. It proud joy and fun into not just the children, but the parents as well. It was a big social change in America. Most families today have been to Disney land just like in the '50s.
Cars
With rising numbers of families that own cars more people could travel farther distances to have a good time with their family and get out of town. Disney land was made for families. Most of the families going to Disneyland were from California, but with the rise in popularity of cars, a lot more people were traveling from other states. The car is the main reason for Disneylands large profit, a lot of families could now take their children to a place where they always have fun and new entertainment.
