Walt Disney = DISNEYLAND

"To all that come to this happy place: welcome. DISNEYLAND is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past, and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams, and the hard facts that have created America... with hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world."

"Biggest problem? Well, I'd say it's been my biggest problem all my life. MONEY. It takes a lot of money to make these dreams come true. From the very start it was a problem. Getting the money to open Disneyland. About seventeen million it took. And we had everything mortgaged including my personal insurance."

"It's no secret that we were sticking just about every nickel we had on the chance that people would really be interested in something totally new and unique in the field of entertainment."
"I don't want the public to see the world they live in while they're in the Park (Disneyland). I want to feel they're in another world."

"When we opened Disneyland, a lot of people got the impressions that it was a get-rich-quick thing, but they didn't realize that behind Disneyland was this great organization that I built here at the Studio, and they all got into it and we were doing it because we loved to do it.""We did it (Disneyland), in the knowledge that most of the people I talked to thought it would be a financial disaster - closed and forgotten within the first year."

"I first saw the site for Disneyland back in 1953, In those days it was all flat land - no rivers, no mountains, no castles or rocket ships - just orange groves, and a few acres of walnut trees."
"It's something that will never be finished. Something that I can keep developing...and adding to."
"Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world."

"We believed in our idea - a family park where parents and children could have fun- together."
"Disneyland is a work of love. We didn't go into Disneyland just with the idea of making money."
"Disneyland is the star, everything else is in the supporting role."
"Disneyland is a show."

"It has that thing - the imagination, and the feeling of happy excitement- I knew when I was a kid."
"Here in Florida, we have something special we never enjoyed at Disneyland...the blessing of size. There's enough land here to hold all the ideas and plans we can possibly imagine."
"We've got to study the land.. . . . .We've got to put Disneyland, which everybody will know, at the very upper end of the property because that will be the weenie."
"I've always said that there will never be another Disneyland, and I think it's going to work out that way. But it will be the equivalent of Disneyland. We know the basic things that have family appeal. There are many ways that you can use those certain basic things and give them a new decor, a new treatment. This concept here will have to be something that is unique, so there is a distinction between Disneyland in California and whatever Disney does in Florida."
"I'm doing this because I want to do it better"
"Believe me, it's the most exciting and challenging assignment we have ever tackled at Walt Disney Productions."

Walt Disney, telah menginsipirasi jutaan manusia untuk mempunyai VISI. Merupakan salah seorang pemimpi terbesar di abad kedua puluh. Mahakarya yang sungguh luarbiasa adalah DISNEYLAND dan WALT DISNEY WORLD. Seperti visi Walt Disney untuk membangun sebuah taman bermain keluarga yang bukan hanya taman biasa tetapi sebuah taman yang indah, sehingga anak-anak bahkan orang dewasa akan begitu takjub. Sejak pertama kali visi tersebut dicanangkan, Walt Desney menyadari akan tantangan yang akan dihadapinya. Tetapi dengan tekad, semangat yang luar biasa kita sekarang bisa menikmati DISNEYLAND.

Bagi seorang Parts Manager, VISI adalah segalanya. Visi itu tidak tergantikan. Mengapa? Karena visilah yang memimpin para pemimpin. Visi melukiskan sasarannya. Visi memicu serta membakar semangat, dan mendorongnya maju. Visi juga merupakan pemicu orang lain yang menjadi pengikut sang pemimpin. Seorang pemimpin yang tidak memiliki visi takkan kemana-mana. Paling banter, ia akan berlari di tempat.
Bagaimana dengan visi Anda?
