On Mickey Mouse:

“I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing?that it was all started by a mouse.”

“Mickey Mouse is, to me, a symbol of independence. He was a means to an end. He popped out of my mind onto a drawing pad . . . on a train ride from Manhattan to Hollywood at a time when business fortunes of my brother Roy and myself were at lowest ebb and disaster seemed right around the corner. Born of necessity, the little fellow literally freed us of immediate worry. He provided the means for expanding our organization . . . and for extending the medium of cartoon animation toward new entertainment levels.

He spelled production liberation for us.”

“All we ever intended for him or expected of him was that he should continue to make people everywhere chuckle with him and at him. We didn?t burden him with any social symbolism, we made him no mouthpiece for frustrations or harsh satire. Mickey was simply a little personality assigned to the purposes of laughter.”

On the parks:

“When I started on Disneyland, my wife used to say, ?But why do you want to build an amusement park? They?re so dirty.? I told her that was just the point?mine wouldn?t be.”

“I think what I want Disneyland to be most of all is a happy place?a place where adults and children can experience together some of the wonders of life, of adventure, and feel better because of it.”

“Disneyland is a work of love. We didn?t go into Disneyland just with the idea of making money.”

“Disneyland is like a piece of clay: If there is something I don?t like, I?m not stuck with it. I can reshape and revamp.”

“Disneyland is often called a magic kingdom because it combines fantasy and history, adventure and learning, together with every variety of recreation and fun designed to appeal to everyone.”

Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.”

“Believe me, it?s the most exciting and challenging assignment we have ever tackled at Walt Disney Productions.” (on Walt Disney World)

On children, young and old, and the family:

“I do not make films primarily for children. I make them for the child in all of us, whether we be six or sixty. Call the child innocence. The worst of us is not without innocence, although buried deeply it might be. In my work I try to reach and speak to that innocence, showing it the fun and joy of living; showing it that laughter is healthy; showing it that the human species, although happily ridiculous at times, is still reaching for the stars.”

“Every child is born blessed with a vivid imagination. But just as a muscle grows flabby with disuse, so the bright imagination of a child pales in later years if he ceases to exercise it.”

“The way to keep children out of trouble is to keep them interested in things. Lecturing to children is no answer to delinquency. Preaching won?t keep kids out of trouble. But keeping their minds occupied will.”

“That?s the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up. They forget. They don?t remember what it?s like to be twelve years old. They patronize; they treat children as inferiors. I won?t do that. I?ll temper a story, yes. But I won?t play down, and I won?t patronize.”

“It?s a mistake not to give people a chance to learn to depend on themselves while they are young.”

“To the youngsters of today, I say believe in the future, the world is getting better; there still is plenty of opportunity. Why, would you believe it, when I was a kid I thought it was already too late for me to make good at anything.”

“Childishness? I think it?s the equivalent of never losing your sense of humor. I mean, there?s a certain something that you retain. It?s the equivalent of not getting so stuffy that you can?t laugh at others.”

“The important thing is the family. If you can keep the family together?and that?s the backbone of our whole business, catering to families?that?s what we hope to do.”

“A man should never neglect his family for business.”

On America:

“Laughter is America?s most important export.”

“Actually, if you could see close in my eyes, the American flag is waving in both of them and up my spine is growing this red, white and blue stripe.”

“In my view, wholesome pleasure, sport, and recreation are as vital to this nation as productive work and should have a large share in the national budget.”

Hot headed Donadl is a little man in a big world that’s trying to keep him down. Call it fate, or call it lack of self-control, nothing goes right for this duck: even his best intentions often go awry. Of course, by the time his best intentions surface he’s probably already chasing after less noble pursuits. As stubborn as he is temperamental, he won’t give in, even when he’s up to his beak in trouble. Then watch out. Like a lot of people with a temper problem, he’s blind to his own faults but quick to see them in others. He can’t understand why life seems so much easier for pals Mickey and easy-going Goofi. It’s not fair. Still, Donald will keep struggling to get what he deserves in the world. Favorite sayings: “Oh, yeah?” “Hiya, toots!” “Aw, phooey!” “Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!” “Nothin’ to it!”

I even “walked” into Test Track (but the building is empty). Highly addictive and fun, but will also make you dream about being there even more. After downloading make sure to enable 3D Buildings, otherwise you will not be able to enjoy the 3D settings.
