In this issue, we’ll spend some time exploring the wild and exotic world of Adventureland, home to some of the most beloved attractions in all of Walt Disney World. And yet, while you can discover distant lands and mysterious temples throughout your journeys here, the opportunity for adventure is not limited to this corner of the Magic Kingdom. Adventure is at the very heart of the Walt Disney World experience. As Walt Disney once said, “I think what I want Disneyland to be most of all is a happy place—a place where adults and children can experience together some of the wonders of life, of adventure, and feel better because of it.” When you hear the word “adventure,” your first thoughts might lead to jungles, elephants, and menacing pirates. There’s no doubt that those confrontations are worthy of the most fearless explorers, but let’s not forget about the other adventures you can find at Walt Disney World. How about some outer space excitement over at Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin? Or a terrifying trip back in time with DINOSAUR? You’ll find ghoulish delights at the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror and the Haunted Mansion, but don’t forget that you can enjoy adventures of a more whimsical sort with Winnie the Pooh and friends over in Fantasyland. The fact is, the promise of adventure is one of the most wondrous things to experience at Walt Disney World. It’s the prospect of escaping the real world and visiting a wondrous new place, a place where you’ll never be sure what will happen next. Your journeys will only be limited by your imagination. You can travel to distant lands, both real (at World Showcase) and imaginary (Star Tours). You can travel in time to the distant past (Universe of Energy) or the far-off future (Mission: SPACE). You can experience waterfalls, runaway trains, roaring rapids, and soaring flights of fancy. But the greatest adventure of all is in losing yourself in a world of imagination and fantasy and letting all of your everyday worries slip away. That’s when the magic truly happens. Enjoy!

These words are used in the names of lands in the Magic Kingdom, but these words also serve to describe just some of the types of experiences we all encounter while in Walt Disney World. Stepping foot onto Disney property instantly affords you opportunities unlike anywhere else in the world. Whether in a park or at a resort, you can be instantly transported to another place and time—and you can be whoever you would like to be. You don’t have to dress like a Disney princess to feel like one. There’s no need to don a cutlass and eye patch to play pirate. Nor must you travel thousands of miles (and risk malaria) to journey to exotic destinations. You can explore dense jungles and ancient ruins in the parks, and you can climb a Mayan pyramid (and splash your way down it) at your resort’s pool. You can imagine tomorrow, fly into space and even explore some its technologies,

  • The Immersive Theme Park
    THE IMMERSIVE THEME PARK Analyzing the Immersive World of the Magic Kingdom Theme Park JOOST TER BEEK (S4155491) MASTERTHESIS CREATIVE INDUSTRIES Radboud University Nijmegen Supervisor: C.C.J. van Eecke 22 July 2018 Summary The aim of this graduation thesis The Immersive Theme Park: Analyzing the Immersive World of the Magic Kingdom Theme Park is to try and understand how the Magic Kingdom theme park works in an immersive sense, using theories and concepts by Lukas (2013) on the immersive world and Ndalianis (2004) on neo-baroque aesthetics as its theoretical framework. While theme parks are a growing sector in the creative industries landscape (as attendance numbers seem to be growing and growing (TEA, 2016)), research on these parks seems to stay underdeveloped in contrast to the somewhat more accepted forms of art, and almost no attention was given to them during the writer’s Master’s courses, making it seem an interesting choice to delve deeper into this subject. Trying to reveal some of the core reasons of why the Disney theme parks are the most visited theme parks in the world, and especially, what makes them so immersive, a profound analysis of the structure, strategies, and design of the Magic Kingdom theme park using concepts associated with the neo-baroque, the immersive world and the theme park is presented through this thesis, written from the perspective of a creative master student who has visited these theme parks frequently over the past few years, using further literature, research, and critical thinking on the subject by others to underly his arguments.

  • Disney and His Worlds
    DISNEY AND HIS WORLDS Disney and his Worlds is a thorough overview of what is by now quite a large literature on the Disney organization, in particular the theme parks and their significance for contemporary culture. The author looks at Walt Disney’s life and how his biography has been constructed; the Walt Disney Company in the years after his death; and the writings of various commentators on the Disney theme parks. He raises important issues about the parks: whether they are harbingers of postmodernism; the significance of consumption at the parks; the nature of the parks as tourism; and the representation of past and future. The discussion of theme parks is central but links with the presentation of Walt Disney’s biography and his organization by showing how central economic and business considerations have been in their development, and how the significance of these considerations is typically marginalized in order to place an emphasis on fantasy and magic. In the process, the book questions the assumption that the parks are sites of postmodern sensibility. Disney films, merchandizing and theme parks are one of the defining features of our times and one of the more effective elements in American cultural imperialism. It is impossible to imagine an encyclopedic sociology of contemporary culture that did not devote at least a chapter to Disney and his Worlds. In particular the parks are often employed as examples in areas like cultural studies, the sociology of postmodernism, tourism and leisure studies, while Walt Disney and his organization are important to the area of organization studies.

  • Winter 2015 • Volume24 • Number4
    Winter 2015 • Volume24 • Number4 If Disney Files Magazine was a grocery store tabloid, the headline on this edition’s cover may read: Giant Reptile to Terrorize China! Of course, we’d never resort to such sensationalism, even if we are ridiculously excited about the imposing star of the Roaring Rapids attraction in the works for Shanghai Disneyland (pages 3-8). We take ourselves far too seriously for such nonsense. Wait a minute. What am I saying? This isn’t exactly a medical journal, and anyone who’s ever read the fine print at the bottom of this page knows that, if there’s one thing we embrace in theDisney Files newsroom, it’s nonsense! So at the risk of ending our pursuit of a Pulitzer (close as we were), I introduce this issue with a series of headlines crafted with all the journalistic integrity of rags reporting the births of alien babies, celebrity babies…and alien-celebrity babies. Who wore it best? Disney’s Beach Club Villas vs. the Brady family! (Page 13) Evil empire mounting Disney Parks takeover! (Pages 19-20) Prince Harry sending soldiers into Walt Disney World battle! (Page 21) An Affleck faces peril at sea! (Page 24) Mickey sells Pluto on the street! (Page 27) Underage driver goes for joy ride…doesn’t wear seatbelt! (Page 30) Somewhere in Oregon, my journalism professors weep. All of us at Disney Vacation Club wish you a happy holiday season and a “sensational” new year. Welcome home, Ryan March Disney Files Editor Illustration by Keelan Parham VOL. 24 NO.
