Growing up as a kid in the 60s we went to disneyland in Anaheim at least once a year and this was always my favorite attraction, even as a kid. Not the Matterhorn or space mountain, not even Pirates which is a great attraction. No, I always like this best. If you never got a chance to see it.....here it is. The genius of Walt Disney who loved America. Dedicated to Donald Trump, now without a doubt, as he leads a revolution, the Greatest President in US History. America the Beautiful....in circle vision , circa 1967

It’s true Walt Disney loved this country... he was ahead of his time. Maybe the day will come when people like Disney will take back control of that company from the weirdos and commie types who run it now.

If anyone can do it......Trump can. “Make Disneyland Great Again”! I think he can even Make California Great Again. A few trips out there and people will fall in love with him.

I predict he’ll even have the Cartel leaders running scared. Either die or convert to MMGA......Make Mexico Great Again..well, maybe not “again”....Make Mexico Great for the first time...or the next and last thing you will see is a DRONE with USMC on it before your demise. Just ask ISIS.

In the Tiki room, Walt would come out and start the show by using stick to beat Jose the bird to wake him up because Jose was so sleepy. Then, the Africans on the Jungle Cruise rise would try to kill you with poison darts.

Disney will fight him tooth and nail. The anti-American crowd has been embedded in the corporate structure for over a generation, now. I worked for them in the 80s and 90s and saw it. Gays only hired gays. Libs only hired libs. And for gays, the casting couch was worn out as it was used so much. The only time they stooped to hiring ‘deplorables’ was when they couldn’t get the ‘correct’ people in time, or of the caliber that was required. Even then it was only a short-term contract. Now, those ‘casting couch’ graduates are the bosses and they learned their lessons well. Hate 24/7.

I saw Disneyland as a tiny boy in 1956 and as a soldier in 1972, it was a truly magical place.

In 1969 I hitchhiked to California and got an apartment around Knott and Ball in Anaheim, do you remember a dairy in that area?

I lived in Hacienda Heights so the trek do Disneyland was about 45 minutes. I don’t remember a dairy because I wasn’t familiar with the story.

There is a movie on Youtube called “no downpayment” with Tony Randall, Jeffery Hunter, etc. It was made in 1957 and it opens with a couple driving from LA to Orange County and they are on the 5 freeway and signs along the way show housing developments in Orange County, Santa Ana and they actually exit at Ball Rd! You have to watch for the sign, but you see it.....”Ball Rd.”

And it’s a good movie aobut life in the 50s and 60s and suburbs and the problems, like alchol and infidelity, etc.

Take a look:

Disney hasn’t been Walt’s Disney for decades, while he was a greedy capitalist, he made his wealth by giving America entertainment that was in tune with American values. Today it’s disney, and they are majority owned by Vanguard Group and BlackRock and they are all about shoving their perverted values down Americas throat because they want to destroy America.

Let Disneyland be an example of the curse of wokism and let it die. In fact, help make it die. Stop buying it’s products. All of them. There are substitutes.

I’ve been to the place before it was Disneyland. My uncle had a chicken ranch on the site. On one occasion, in 1954, we had dinner there and then stayed overnight. I was awakened by hearing the crowing of roosters for the first time n my life. Some of those roosters may have wound up on dinner tables at the Knott’s Berry Farm’s Chicken Dinner Restaurant, one of my uncle’s customers. My mother had worked there as a waitress about a decade earlier.

I currently live about nine miles from Disneyland, close enough to see their fireworks at night. However, my last visit there was in 1969, and I doubt if I’ll ever go there again.

You’re right. “Great” is not a zero sum game.

Mexico should be great. Same with all the other countries of the world - remember the essence of a great deal is when everyone walks away from the table happy.
