One day Walt Disney had a vision.It was a vision of a place where children and parents could have fun together.The more Walt dreamed of a“magical park”，the more imaginative and elaborate it became.

The original plans for the park were on 8 acres next to the Burbank studios where his employees and families could go to relax.

During World War Two，Walt had time to come up with new ideas，and creations for his magical park.It was soon clear that 8 acres wouldn’t be enough.

Finally in 1953，He needed space to build rivers，waterfalls，and mountains；he would have flying elephants and a fairy-tale castle，moon rockets，and a scenic railway；all inside a magic kingdom he called“Disneyland”.

譯文

迪士尼世界

一天，沃特·迪士尼有了個(gè)幻想。這個(gè)幻想是一個(gè)孩子和父母可以在一起玩耍的地方。沃特對(duì)這個(gè)“魔幻公園”的幻想越多，這個(gè)公園就變得越富有想象力，越具體。

對(duì)于這個(gè)公園的原始計(jì)劃是，在靠近伯班克工作室的一塊8英畝大的地方，他的雇員和家人可以去那里放松。

在第二次世界大戰(zhàn)期間，沃特有時(shí)間對(duì)他的魔幻公園提出新的觀點(diǎn)和創(chuàng)意，很快就發(fā)現(xiàn)這個(gè)8英畝的公園不夠用了。

最終在1953年，他需要空間來(lái)建造河流、瀑布和山脈；他想要把小飛象、童話城堡、月球火箭和一條觀光鐵路，以及所有的一切都裝進(jìn)一個(gè)叫作“迪士尼樂(lè)園”的魔幻王國(guó)。
