　Introduction to Disney　迪斯尼的介绍
     1　迪斯尼简介
     Disneyland is a theme park that is located at 1313 South Harbor Boulevard in Anaheim, California, USA. It has seen 56 summers in procession since its gates first opened on July 17, 1955. Forty-five summers of parades and fireworks, of Mickey and Minnie, of playing host to people from all over the world.
     Over the years, Disneyland has acquired the unmistakable characteristics of a national institution. It is a "must to see" destination for any visitor to the western United States. Many Californian regard Disneyland as one of the states natural assets-like the Pacific Ocean or the Redwood forests. It is indeed a place for all ages.
     Sometimes it is hard to remember that before there was a Disneyland. There was only a vision and a dream of one man-Walt Disney. The vision and dream was made possible with some empty sketch pads, canvases and a few sandwiches. It was these first "sketches"of "The Happiest Place on Earth" that provided Walt and Roy Disney the ability to secure the necessary financial backing to build Disneyland.
     Inspired and led by Walt Disney over a long weekend in September 1953, artist Herbert Dickens Ryman was selected by Walt Disney as his master imaginer to bring the dream to reality. Disneyland is more than just buildings, attractions and adventures.
     It is a virtual "masterpiece" in the making. Virtually every square inch of Disneyland-every building, street corner, attraction, store interior-in fact every little detail from lampposts to trash cans are inspired by a painting, drawing or piece of sculpture... it is the artist's vision that guides the builders hand.
     The process of creating Disneyland attractions is lengthy and complex. And yet the artist's role remains pivotal. He or she is responsible for giving initial form to new ideas, for refining concepts through artistic renderings and for providing the inspiration and cohesive vision for turning dreams into reality.
     In celebration of Disneyland's 50th Anniversary and the 10th Anniversary of the Ryman Foundation for Young Artists, the Disney Gallery, located above the Pirates of the Caribbean in Disneyland, is pleased to present the art of Herbert Dickens Ryman in release of his autobiography "A Brush with Disney".
     In a word, Disneyland is the happiest place in the world and you mustn't miss it.
