You know what Disneyland is known for? The Big Turkey Leg. People walk around with enormous deep-fried turkey legs. Like little kids, three-year-old kids eating these five-pound turkey legs.
Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.
We really believe that Walt Disney is a very able company with great depth and a great set of franchises.
Well, the world of entertainment and leisure is gigantic. When you combine it with all of the aspects of entertainment and leisure, going to movies or traveling or going to restaurants, staying in a hotel, skiing, it's huge.
There is no good scientific reason to bring back an extinct species. Why would one bring them back? To put them in a theme park?
I just want to be able to get on an airplane and enjoy myself in Disneyland, not sit there worrying about all these assassins.
At Disneyland, you never go 'backstage' - even when you're in the bathroom.
At Epcot Center the Disney corporation has focused its attention on two things greatly in need of Disneyfication: the tedious future and the annoying whole wide world.
I joined Walt Disney, went to work, December 2nd 1935, so obviously, I'm not too young!
I love Disneyland because the teacups are so awesome. But California Adventure is the best.
When I go to places, I love going to all those kind of amusement parks and kind of cheesy things to do.
I've always wanted to work for Walt Disney. That's what I thought I was going to do when I grew up.
Whenever I get a little chance to get to Orlando, I like to take a couple days' break with the family, just hang out, go clubbing around town.
Between the theme parks and the movies, the Disney iconography was probably the first set of archetypes that I was exposed to. Walt was able to expose me as a child to the full array of emotions, including fear and sorrow. Those movies and attractions haunted my dreams and made a deep impression on me as a child.
In the early '80s, my family vacationed to the United States.
The state of Florida is an attractive place to live.
Florida is a great place to set a novel.
Florida, bro. It's different.
I grew up watching Mickey Mouse and going to Disney World, like, 2,000 times. Mickey Mouse is like my guru.
Disney was, like, such an amazing experience always for me, such a huge part of my life.
Walt Disney grew up in Marceline, but almost every child has grown up with his beloved characters.
Shamu the killer whale is Sea World's Mickey Mouse; whales named Shamu are the star attractions of three parks and the focus of their marketing efforts.
When I go to Florida for Christmas I always take my nieces and nephews out on excursions, ... I become like a big kid again. We go on all the big rides at the theme parks or I stick them in go-karts where their feet can't quite reach the pedals. I think that if you can continue to have the child at heart you may grow old physically but you will stay young mentally.
I hope SeaWorld is exploring how, like Ringling, it can get out of the wild animal business.
I have always really liked creating family entertainment, and Disney does that really well.
