The success was so great that the fans of the cartoons began to ask to arrange a tour of the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California
Walt Disney knew that this tour is unlikely to impress the visitors, therefore began to think about the creation of the park, which would be interesting for both children and adults.
When his daughters Diane and Sharon were small, Walt Disney took them every Sunday in Griffith Park in Los Angeles. Children ride the rides, while adults usually bored, sitting on benches.
