While as of recently the focus has been on Walt Disney World Resort and the celebration of 50 years of magic-making, it looks like Disneyland is getting a little extra attention in the form of a new film that is currently in the works for the Disney Park! It’s no secret that the 160-acres near Anaheim, California that would later open on July 17, 1955, was Walt Disney’s prized project. Walt and his team supervised every detail from the purchase of the property to groundbreaking, and all the endless magical details in between that still keep Disney fans enthralled years later. What better way to understand the development of Disneyland than by following along with Walt’s journey to building the Theme Park. Well, it looks like that’s exactly what Disney fans will have a chance to do with a new film in the works!
