This documentary showed the progress of how Disneyland was made but was made really well and I thought it was great.

Craziest part is how Disneyland opened in one year and had Tomorrowland, Frontierland, Adventureland, and Fantasyland with a handful of rides each. Now when a ride closes down for something it takes a year for some reason…
