Today, we know from studies that both the dreams that children have while sleeping and the dreams that daydream are fundamental to the development of emotions, memory and imagination.
Stories, both in books and on screens, are windows that allow to expand the capacity of childhood dreams, always bringing plurality and diversity into the context of each child. Proof of this is the Disney characters, which have been part of many children’s imaginations and dreams for generations. After all, who doesn’t remember their favorite Disney character and story?

Building “the world where everything is possible”
Spread all over the world, both Disney parks and their iconic characters are world famous and hold a very special place in the affective memory of many children and adults. Do you know how it all started?
Walter Elias Disney was above all a persistent dreamer. He started working as a driver for the Red Cross in his hometown, Illinois, in Chicago, but after his calling to draw, at the age of 18 he poured all his creativity and energy into a career as a cartoonist and producer.
“If you believe in something, believe it completely, implicitly and indisputably.” (Walt Disney)
In 1923, already in Hollywood, Walt, along with his brother and his cartoonist friend Ubbe Iwerks, founded Disney Brother’s Studio. Between mistakes and successes, sketches and technological discoveries, the animated realm was populated by its iconic and striking characters: Mickey Mouse, Oswaldo, the lucky rabbit, Cinderella, Snow White, Pinocchio, Fantasia, Bambi and many others.
The dream did not stop there, the construction of the first Disneyland park in California took place in 1955, followed by Walt Disney World in Florida in 1966. The realization of this great dream was only possible thanks to the perseverance of Walt and the “ImagineersEngineers who designed and helped build all of Disney’s theme park attractions.
“If you can dream it, you can do it.” – Walt Disney
Walt Disney was not only a cartoonist and entrepreneur, but also a voice actor, screenwriter, director and animator! Through his imagination and realization he created a new concept and experience of an amusement park, known to everyone all over the world.
