Disneyland is where magic and imagination live, a place where Mickey Mouse loves to spread more of it. Take a walk with Mickey Mouse around Disneyland as he shares his favorite quotes from his best friend, Walt Disney!
"Art was always a means to an end with me. You get an idea, and you just can't wait. Once you've started, then you're in there with the punches flying. There's plenty of trouble, but you can handle it. You can't back out. It gets you down once in a while, but it's exciting. Our whole business is exciting." -Walt Disney
“When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable." -Walt Disney
"We keep moving forward - opening up new doors and doing new things - because we're curious. And curiosity keeps leading us down new paths. We're always exploring and experimenting. We call it Imagineering - the blending of creative and imagination with technical know-how." -Walt Disney
"Whatever you do, do it well. Do it so well that when people see you do it they will want to come back and see you do it again and they will want to bring others and show them how well you do what you do." -Walt Disney
“Everyone needs deadlines. Even the beavers. They loaf around all summer, but when they are faced with the winter deadline, they work like fury. If we didn’t have deadlines, we’d stagnate.” -Walt Disney
“Fantasy, if it’s really convincing, can’t become dated, for the simple reason that it represents a flight into a dimension that lies beyond the reach of time.” -Walt Disney
“The more you are in a state of gratitude, the more you will attract things to be grateful for." -Walt Disney
“Happiness is a state of mind. It’s just according to the way you look at things.” -Walt Disney
“I dream, I test my dreams against my beliefs, I dare to take risks, and I execute my vision to make those dreams come true.” -Walt Disney
“Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams and the hard facts that have created America—with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world.” -Walt Disney
“I think it’s important to have a good hard failure when you’re young. I learned a lot out of that. Because it makes you kind of aware of what can happen to you.” -Walt Disney
“Laughter is timeless, imagination has no age, dreams are forever.” -Walt Disney
"The magic is as wide as a smile and as narrow as a wink, loud as laughter and quiet as a tear, tall as a tale and deep as emotion. So strong, it can lift the spirit. So gentle, it can touch the heart. It is the magic that begins the happily ever after." -Walt Disney
“I love the nostalgic myself. I hope we never lose some of the things of the past.” -Walt Disney
“All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them." -Walt Disney
“You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality." -Walt Disney
“The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.” -Walt Disney
“Many of the things that seem impossible now will become realities tomorrow." -Walt Disney
“That’s what we storytellers do. We restore order with imagination. We instill hope again and again and again.” -Walt Disney
"Today, we are shapers of the world of tomorrow. That is plain truth. There is no way we can duck the responsibility, and there is no reason why we should." -Walt Disney
"To be successful you must be unique, you must be so different that if people want what you have, they must come to you to get it." -Walt Disney
“If you can visualize it, if you can dream it, there's some way to do it." -Walt Disney
“Why worry? If you’ve done the very best you can, worrying won’t make it any better. I worry about many things, but not about water over the dam.” -Walt Disney
"Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.” -Walt Disney
“To the youngsters of today, I say believe in the future, the world is getting better; there still is plenty of opportunity.” -Walt Disney
“In bad times and in good, I’ve never lost my sense of zest for life.” -Walt Disney
