Movies With The Mouse Episode - Doing The Impossible!

Before Disneyland became iconic, it was a bold vision many doubted. This episode explores why Walt Disney wanted a family-focused park, what he refused to let it become, and how quickly the dream rose from empty land to a full theme park. We revisit opening day—“Black Sunday”—when counterfeit tickets flooded the park, rides broke down, heat topped 100 degrees, fountains failed, and chaos ruled. Despite it all, Walt stayed in Disneyland with the people, proving the magic was always about more than perfection.
