A Deep Dive into Disney Parks History
Behind the Attraction is a 10-episode, hour-long series that takes viewers inside the stories of the most beloved attractions and destinations across Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and Disney parks worldwide. Each episode examines how Imagineers dreamed up, engineered, and refined these experiences, from the park's 1955 opening to present-day innovations.
Since 1955, when Disneyland first opened its doors, the rides and attractions have been impacting generations in such a fun and magical way around the world. This first-of-its-kind series will bring you behind the scenes to experience and celebrate how these beloved attractions creatively came to be. Hope to make Walt and the mouse house proud with this one.
