“That's the way to tour Disneyland, with a complete suspension of disbelief, with a drunken sense of joy and eyes wide with wonder. Let the child inside you come out and play. Laugh and shout! Plunge into the mind and soul of Walt Disney.
---Ray Bradbury”
Jim Denney, Walt's Disneyland: It's Still There If You Know Where to Look

“As Jane Austen once wrote in her diary, "I am not at all in a humor for writing; I must write on till I am." And Madeleine L'Engle observed, "Inspiration usually comes during work rather than before it.”
Jim Denney, Writing in Overdrive: The Secrets to Writing Faster, Writing Freely, Writing Brilliantly

“Just as writers write the books they always wished they could read, Walt built the playground his inner child had always wanted to explore. Tom Sawyer Island was the tangible fulfillment of all his boyhood wishes.”
Jim Denney, Walt's Disneyland: It's Still There If You Know Where to Look
