Millions, tens of millions of people have visited it, which is tiny compared to the total population of China.

But as we have done research, we've discovered that people's desire to visit, and by the way, we opened Shanghai Disneyland on national television in Shanghai

just as Walt had done with Disneyland in 1955.

Learning from Walt, not just how to market, but how to ignite an interest.

It's such an interesting entertainment experience that when you see it, even on the screen, you almost feel you have to visit.

Well, first of all, you have to look at how other people are experiencing it.

You'll see wonder on their faces.

You'll see a rush to get through the gates and get to their favorite attraction.

You'll see children and their parents and grandchildren and friends and groups of people from all different kind of collections of society walking in with a sense of wonder on their faces.

So look at the people first.

I still, by the way, and I don't know how many times I've been to one of our parks, it's the first thing that I experience, the first thing that hits me really when I walk in is, my goodness, look how these people are enjoying themselves.

And it's an incredibly powerful feeling to have.

So watch that.

You'll see immediately things that were absolutely from Walt's vision.

Castle and Main Street and things that are obviously referenced from older America.

There's a lot of history there, but I think you should also look at how much we've continued to invent and expand.

He was fond of saying, as long as there's curiosity left in the world, Disneyland will never be finished.

Well, the vision of the future is harder today.

Walt's vision of the future, and I'm envious of him doing this in the 50s, when so much of future stories really had not been told, at least in physical form.

I can remember growing up in the 50s and being fascinated by Sputnik.
