Disney Resorts Around The World Walt Disney wanted to create a theme park that was clean, family friendly, and a place where his characters could come to life. Disney creates magic and imagination to bring joy to everyone. The first Disney theme park was built in California and is known as Disneyland. Not long after the opening, Walt Disney, wanted to create a bigger park in an area that would allow for the park to be open year round and a place that was big enough that it could continue to expand throughout the years. This was the start of Disney World in Florida. Along with the parks in the United States, parks began to open across the world. The Disney Company now currently owns parks in France, China, and Japan.
