It’s one of the central questions presented in Backstage Disneyland: Should the 60-year-old theme park become a museum or continue to evolve?
Walt Disney famously came down in favor of the latter. But there’s no shortage of guests in the real world and characters in the story’s fantasy world that don’t want to see Disneyland change.
In truth, Disneyland hasn’t changed much in the past two decades. Older fans often want the park to continue to reflect their memories from childhood. But the kids of today want to see the stories they are growing up with reflected in the park’s themed lands as well. And therein lies the conflict - which is difficult to deal with if you’re running a theme park and delightful to explore if you’re writing a fictional novel.
