Praise

“The ‘Happiest Place on Earth’ is much, much more than that. As this terrific book shows, Disneyland is the result of an entertainment-industrial complex of mapping, traffic, aerial technology, and multiple forms of research and design, all in the interests of postwar leisure and the development of the Disney corporation.” - Eric Smoodin, author of Paris in the Dark: Going to the Movies in the City of Light, 1930-1950
