The Happiest Places on Earth! Walt Disney spent his life dreaming impossible dreams—and making them a reality! His vision had no equal: from Steamboat Willie, the first animated short with synchronized sound, to 1937's Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, the first full-length animated feature, which became the most successful American film up to that point. By the early 1950s, Disney’s dreams had reached the height of ambition, and he set out to build the amusement park to end all amusement parks: Disneyland. This new Special Edition from the Editors of LIFE, Inside the Disney Parks, takes you through the tumultuous design process and building of Disneyland: from the inception of the idea, stemming from Walt's obsession with model trains, to the nerve-wracking and over-budget construction—everything in the name of perfection!—the “impossible dream” endured. Despite all obstacles and a disastrous opening day, Disney created a fantasyland with such great appeal that it could be nothing but an overwhelming success: a dream that paved the way for Walt Disney World, several other parks around the globe, and helped turn Disney into a brand that became a worldwide phenomenon—changing popular culture forever.

So pleased with my magazine
I am very pleased with this order. The magazine is exactly what I was hoping for with lots of history about the Disney parks that I did not know. I've learned a lot and can't wait until my next trip to look for some of the hidden attractions. Every page was perfect. Very pleased with the information in the magazine, and the magazine is a treasure I will keep.

Perfect gift!
My dad loves his birthday gift and it's been a blast getting to see all the original photos of the Disney Parks from over 60 years ago!

Pretty ok.
If you're a serious Disney fan, there's not much new info here. Several photo captions are confusing or even downright wrong, such as the one showing Walt driving his EP RIPLEY locomotive and train that tries to tell you instead that it's the Casey Jr ride. I kinda expected more from Life freakin' Magazine, y'know?

Sorprendentemente completo
No es un libro propiamente dicho, sino una edición especial de LIFE. Si quieres iniciarte en la historia de los parques Disney, un punto de comienzo magnifico. Resume muchísimos de los libros clave de historiadores Disney como Korkis o Solar, con fotos muy bien trabajadas.

You buy this for the photos...
Just like in " LIFE Walt Disney: From Mickey to the Magic Kingdom ", the most important aspect are the photos. If you already have some books about Disney and the Disney parks then there is little or no new information in this magazine. But as a fan you can not ignore this beautiful book.

日本国内での印刷でした。
送料を含めAmazon.comで購入するよりも安かったので購入しましたが、この商品は日本で印刷されたものでした。 アメリカでの印刷物じゃなかったのが残念です。
