When you wish upon a star

Makes no difference who you are

Anything your heart desires

Will come to you

If your heart is in your dream

No request is too extreme

When you wish upon a star

As dreamers do

Fate is kind

She brings to those who love

The sweet fulfillment of

Their secret longing

Like a bolt out of the blue

Suddenly, it comes to you

When you wish upon a star

Your dreams come true

When a star is born

They possess a gift or two

One of them is this

They have the power to make a wish come true

Disney - When You Wish Upon A Star 

When people think of Disneyland, the first thing that comes to their minds is Walt Disney and his big dreams.

He was a witness to this song, the one about wishing upon stars. Since he made his dreams come true, he used himself as an example to give others hope of similar fulfillment.

He needed hope, vision, planning, and hard work for his dreams to come true. His exception to this was Mickey Mouse, who, in a sense, acted as his "star."

Picture Walt Disney as a child. Back then, in Kansas City, Walter could only view the delights of the amusement park from the fence, as he didnt have enough money to buy a ticket. When Walter became a father, he made a point of saving up enough money to take his children to the amusement park.

However, once he was able to go to these parks, he found them unimpressive. Once he brainstormed the idea of creating the best amusement park for children, he began to expand his horizons. He traveled throughout the United States and Europe and visited various places; he explored circuses, carnivals, and parks. He discovered that he preferred amusement parks to be bright and spotless. He admired the ones with cheerful music, excellent food and drink, and good customer service.

After years of hard work, he formed the "Disneyland" company despite his brother Roy’s objections. Both bankers and entertainment industry experts predicted that it would fail.

Without their backing, Disney Studios had to rely on other companies to help fund their ideas. Eventually Roy agreed to help, and the project enjoyed more secure funding.

In 1953, Walter brilliantly combined amusement park development with producing movies based on his amusement park. The result was a huge boon for ABCs Disney World television program.

Disneyland finally opened on July 17, 1955, in Anaheim, California. In just seven weeks, millions of visitors flocked to see Disneyland, making it one of the biggest tourist attractions in the United States. There were 50% more tourists than they had predicted and the tourists spent 30% more than the company had expected.

Walter used his talent and hard work to make his dream into a great success. As he told an interviewer: "Everyone can make their dreams come true. You just need to have one.”

Faith and hard work are both necessary to fulfill your dreams, but, if you do it right, you have so much fun while doing it that you dont feel like you’re actually working."

Many people thought he could become president, but he asked, "Why do I want to become president of the United States? I am the king of Disneyland!"

It is impossible not to recognize the greatness of his spirit and achievements. He brought great joy to both children and adults from all over the world.

說到迪斯尼樂園，每個人都會想到沃爾特迪斯尼及他的大夢想。他的確是這首歌的的見證人。因為他讓他的夢想成真，他充分以自己為例子，證明夢想可以成真。

在他的情況除了是“明星”的米老鼠，夢想成真需要的不是僅僅的希望，而且要有寬廣的視野，規劃和辛勤的工作才能達到。

想像得到嗎?一個在堪薩斯城的孩子，沃爾特只能從圍欄看着遊樂公園，他好想進去但沒有足夠的錢買票進去。當沃爾特成為父親帶著孩子到遊樂園。

但他對這些遊樂園不滿意，他認為它們甚至不應該被稱為遊樂園。

心中帶着為孩子們建最好的遊樂園的構想，他開始擴大自己的視野。他走遍了美國和歐洲，並參觀各種景點。他走訪了馬戲團，嘉年華會，和公園。他喜歡

有些遊樂公園的一塵不染，明亮，歡快的音樂，優秀的食品和飲料，以及熱情友好的員工。

經過多年的努力他成立了“迪士尼樂園”的公司，雖然他的兄弟羅伊，反對在迪斯尼樂園的投資。銀行家和娛樂行業專家預測厄運。這就是為什麼迪斯尼工

作室以外的組織加強發展的想法。最終羅伊同意幫助，而迪斯尼製片廠成為了操作的一部分。

1953年沃爾特精闢的結合遊樂園區發展的電視製作。結果對 ABC的迪斯尼樂園電視節目有造成極大的好處。

在1955年7月17日在加州的阿納海姆，迪斯尼樂園終于開幕。在短短的七週，上百萬遊客參觀了迪士尼樂園，成為在美國最大的旅遊景點之一。參觀遊客數目

超過他們預測的50％，而他們的消費超過預期的30％。

沃爾特用自己的天賦和的艱苦工作帶給他極大的成功，這成功來自一個夢想。正如他告訴一位採訪者：“每個人都可以夢想成真。除了自己要有夢想 ... ...

信念和辛勤的工作。但是，辛勤的工作並不完全正確，因為它是那麼多的樂趣，你不會覺得在工作。“

很多人認為他可以當選總統，但他說 “為什麼我想成為美國總統？我己經是迪士尼樂園的國王了!”

好大的氣魄，好大的口氣，但我們也不能不肯定他的成就! 他帶給全球孩子--不止是孩子連成人也得到很大的歡樂呢!

真的好想好想對說沃爾特迪士尼先生說: 謝謝你的夢!
