Russian premier Nikita Khrushchev wanted to visit Disneyland in 1959 but the U. S. government wouldn’t let him. Enraged, Khrushchev wondered what the park was hiding - his guesses included cholera, rocket-launching pads and gangsters. Later Walt Disney planned a movie based on the event, a wacky comedy called Kruschev in Disneyland.

“The sixty-acre triangle was bursting with archetypal imagery from Disney’s own movies and every kid’s dreams—pirates and princesses, cowboys and stagecoaches, rockets and rivers, majestic castles and quaint towns, cool little cars and cozy little boats, whirling teacups and flying elephants.”

if you take Chesterton's ideas too much to heart, you start reading encyclopedias and dictionaries with the same enthusiasm some people have for reading fantasies.

I just want to be walking through New Orleans Square eating a candied apple in the year 1972.

it's embarrassing how much I'm enjoying this massive tome about the history of every ride and shop at Disneyland.
