Now, as the studio prepares to debut its next feature “Moana” this fall, fans and critics alike are eagerly waiting to see what Disney has cooked up for its second non-Pixar animated release of 2016. Earlier this summer I was fortunate enough to attend a behind-the-scenes preview of “Moana” at the Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Tujunga campus in North Hollywood. At the event, media were treated to glimpses of the film as a work-in-progress, and had the chance to listen in as members of the creative team discussed the process of bringing such an ambitious, epic movie to life.

DISNEYLAND TIMELINE

Hollywood studios and amusement park owners couldn’t understand Walt’s concept of a “theme park,” and figured it would fail within months of opening.

Disney moved to California in 1923 to become a cinematographer but continued to work on his animation. In 1927, he created Mickey Mouse, and the 1928 release of the film "Steamboat Willie" made both the mouse and the man famous. Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, Disney's films made him a powerful member of the Hollywood establishment. He decided to increase his family entertainment empire by building a theme park, America's first.

ANAHEIM – Disney intends to construct a transportation hub, a massive parking structure and a pedestrian bridge over Harbor Boulevard connecting them with Disneyland and Disney California Adventure ahead of the opening of “Star Wars” land in its signature theme park.

According to documents filed Wednesday in City Hall, the company proposes to start building a seven-story, 6,800-space parking structure next year along Disney Way. The park also plans to shutter its current transportation hub, where buses from some Disney parking lots and hotel shuttles drop off visitors near the theme parks’ main gates to build the new one on a Disney-owned site about a half-mile away on Manchester Avenue. The Carousel Inn and Suites, which Disney purchased last year for $32 million, would close in October and eventually get razed to make way for a pedestrian walkway leading from the new transit hub to the bridge 20 feet above Harbor.

Called the Eastern Gateway Project, the forthcoming transportation center will include a new seven-story, 6,800-space parking garage, which will offer direct access to the entrances of the Magic Kingdom and California Adventure via a 20-foot high pedestrian bridge over Harbor.
