[话题 建立迪斯尼乐园]
There is a famous story about how Walt Disney was inspired to build Disneyland.The story goes that during an afternoon visit to Griffith Park located near the Burbank Studios, Walt took a seat while his two young daughters rode the merrygoround.Walt thought there should be a place where both children and their parents could enjoy spending some time together in an environment that would be both entertaining and pleasing to the eye, so with this thought came the idea for Disneyland.

The building of the park was very expensive and to create funding for the project Walt developed the idea of the “Walt Disney's Disneyland” television show.It turned out to be a marvelous idea — not only gaining the money to build the park but also presenting the park to the American public.
Construction officially began on July 21, 1954, and it was an ambitious(野心勃勃的) building schedule of less than one year to complete the new park for the projected opening day.Walt watched over the park's construction and progress continued with just a few minor holdups.Finally, the park was ready for the Opening Day on July 17, 1955.
