Walt Disney's Disneyland
Walt Disney dreamed for decades about opening the ultimate entertainment venue, but it wasn't until the early 1950s that his handpicked team began to bring his vision to life. Together, artists, architects, and engineers transformed a dusty tract of orange groves about an hour south of Los Angeles into one of the world's most beloved destinations. Today, there are Disney resorts from Paris to Shanghai, but the original Disneyland in Anaheim, California, which has been visited by more than 800 million people to-date, remains one of America's most popular attractions. From the day it opened on July 17, 1955, Disneyland brought history and fairy tales to life, the future into the present, and exciting cultures and galaxies unknown to our imaginations. This intruiging visual history draws on Disney's vast historical collections, private archives, and the golden age of photojournalism to provide unique access to the concept, development, launch, and enjoyment of this sun-drenched oasis of fun and fantasy. Disneyland documents Walt's earliest inspirations and ideas, the park's extraordinary feats of design and engineering, and each of its immersive "lands" from Main Street, U.S.A., to Tomorrowland. It is a treasure trove of original Disney documentation and expertise, with award-winning writer Chris Nichols drawing on his extensive knowledge of both Disneyland and Southern California history to reveal the fascinating tale of "the happiest place on Earth."Copyright (c) 2024 Disney Enterprises, Inc.

Historic Journey Up Cove Boulevard in Panama City, Florida
The Glenwood Community has been referred to at varying times by sundry groups as "The Quarters," as "East End," as "Shine Town," and some extremely negative designations. It has existed since the nineteen-twenties; and it has a noble history, with an incredible record of perseverance and buoyancy. Like Bay County, it has been populated by people from several areas of the country; however, the turpentine, fish, and sawmill industries as well as tourism and stevedoring initiatives impacted the growth of the population. All of the aforementioned represented sources of livelihood for some of the early settlers. There was an innate desire by many of these pioneers to become independent and mimic the free enterprise system so common to this country by becoming entrepreneurs. Their efforts showed an unusual amount of wisdom in that each business enterprise focused on the needs of a people in a segregated society of unequal financial opportunity.
Haunted Florida Lighthouses
Lighthouses dot the Florida coast, there to help seafarers navigate their way to shore. But when tragedy comes for Florida, it often blows in from the sea, giving the lighthouses and the cursed men and women inside a first look at horror. The lively spirts of teenage sisters inhabit the St. Augustine Lighthouse, where an accident claimed their lives, suspending them in their playful youth. A storm wiped out the Sand Key Lighthouse in 1846, claiming the lives of 16 whose spirts now chatter away--generally in contented tones but sometimes straying into anger. A Civil War casualty roams near the Amelia Island Lighthouses, holding to a promise to see his love one last time before departure.

Meet the bridge builders--including an enslaved apprentice who out-built his "master," and travel back in time underneath the elegance of these simple yet masterfully crafted structures .
