The Main Street USA Zone: A Disney Theme Park

Every police officer should practice professional traffic stops with every stop they make. Their stops must be legally defensible and professional. The policing agency should develop a structured policy which lays out how a professional traffic shop should be conducted. In addition, the policy should also include prohibition and discriminatory practices (Shusta, Levine, Wong, Olson, Harris, 2015). Racial profiling components should also be included in any existing training programs used. Another way to ensure fair treatment is to hold workshops to further discuss issues related to racial profiling. Collecting data on traffic stops helps agencies determine if there is any indication of police bias. Lastly, officers should be held accountable for following all policies set forth by the agencies. Furthermore, supervisors should hold all officers accountable for their actions and also follow through with any disciplinary actions that may need to be taken. It is vital that everyone follow any policies set forth and know what any biased policing will not be tolerated and appropriate actions will be taken if needed.

As everyone always says, Disney World is the happiest place on earth, but for Iowans' we have Adventureland, where we are sure to have a fun filled day. To us Iowans', Disney World and Adventure are the two best theme parks we've ever known of! Both theme parks are full of happiness, good food and exciting rides, although Disney World and Adventureland have lots of differences and yet some similarities in hand. In this paper I am going to explain and list off the vast similarities and differences of Disney World and Adventureland!

During a recent family trip to Walt Disney World, I quickly discovered that many cultures share the same love of Disney as Americans do. Although this is wonderful, multicultural conflicts and violations of social norms come into play with ease when such an enormous amount of people are confined within a certain area.

The Walt Disney Company has created theme parks throughout the world for guests to undergo a specific experiences that recalls the guests’ inner child through rides, visuals, and music. Disney has proved to be more than just a theme park; it is portrayed as a “world” or “land” of acceptance and integration of all cultures into one place. The universality aspect is what draws people in from different countries to visit the parks. Ultimately, the Disney parks are based off of two key concepts: commoditization and Americanization. Since Disney is an imagined utopia, guests buy into, literally and figuratively, the commodities and experiences it offers. Through music and visuals, Disney intertwines a message of Americanization through a single world culture that the guests accept. Disney’s limited understanding of cultures became much more apparent as theme parks were erected in different countries with cultural values that differ from American norms. Disney is a utopian society that exposes a narrow interpretation of the different cultures throughout the world.

The extraordinary industry known as Disney is what this research paper will consist of. Walt Disney is a phenomenal motion picture animator, that’s dynasty, has left a monumental impact on the adults and children of today and generations to come. This paper will incorporate his life, the movies he dreamed up, and the everlasting and memorable theme parks designed by him.

It’s no doubt that creating a family oriented theme park based on popular, beloved cartoon characters and imagination was a good idea. From Cinderella’s castle to the famous Main Street, U.S.A, there’s something extraordinary lying around every corner. Walt Disney World, other wise known as “the happiest place on earth”, or the place “where dreams come true”, was founded by a man with a dream of creating a place where children and parents could spend time together while making amazing memories. However, this extravagant amusement park is only one of the major accomplishments of Walt Disney.

The case “Euro Disney: First 100 days” talks about the issues faced by the Walt Disney Company when expanding to international borders. The case begins with the history of Disneyland and then describes the reasons behind its success and expansion to various states across the country. It then describes the success of Tokyo Disneyland, first Disney theme park outside America and the factors affecting it.

One of the most popular tourist attractions by 1955 was the newly opened Disneyland ("Walter"). From the opening of the park, Disneyland has been a popular tourist attraction. Inside the park, many different races and ethnicities of people come in to marvel at Walt Disney’s wondrous creations. Along with visitors from all nations, many of the workers in the Walt Disney parks have come from many different nations. While many people visiting the park come from all corners of the world, they are not the only people from outside the United States.

When Disneyland opened, it rested on an 85-acre property and only had about eighteen attractions. However, some of the rides featured on opening day are the most iconic ones still running in both locations. On the first day they opened the doors, thousands of people began rushing into the parks to see Walt Disney’s dreams become a reality. Upon walking in, guests were overwhelmed with all the magic come to life. Sleeping Beauty Castle towers over the entrance of the park at seventy feet high; however it does seem to be bigger due to the architecture they used. They used bigger blocks on the bottom and as the builders got higher and higher, smaller bricks were used. Here one will find shops carrying merchandise like shirts, candy, backpacks, purses, stuffed animals, and the iconic Mickey/Minnie Mouse ears. Both sites feature exquisite architecture when it pertains to the way, the castles were built to appear bigger. In comparison of both sites, Main Street is the road that starts at the beginning of the park and stretches to the castle.

Although Tokyo Disneyland claims to be a replica of Disneyland in California, there are a lot of differences between the two theme parks. When building the theme park, the Oriental Land Company modified a few themed lands and attractions so that “themes nostalgic for Americans but meaningless for the Japanese have been renamed and recontextualized to capture the attention of the new clientele” (Brannen, 1992, p. 221). Main Street, USA is renamed to the World Bazaar at Tokyo Disneyland and keeps “the quasi-Victorian architecture of the buildings”, but hints of Art Deco façade are added to the buildings in Tokyo (Brannen, 1992, p.222; Marling, 1997). The renaming of the land does not change the theming of the land being inherently American. The idea of “Main Street” is a concept used by American towns to describe their main thoroughfare. There are no main streets in Japan so the theming of the land is

Jumping off the bus on to the familiar red brick pathway, I walk up to the entrance of the park. I could feel my excitement building up getting ready to explode, like fireworks in the night sky. The excitement within me was beginning to become more than I could handle. I could feel the smile on my face grow bigger and bigger until the skin of my lips is taut from ear to ear. It just hit me, I am in the most magical place on Earth. I am in Disney. Opened in 1971, Disney World is the home to four theme parks, two water parks, four golf courses, a shopping/dining experience, two themed mini golf courses and 27 themed hotels throughout the property’s 27,258 acres of land. Disney’s extravagant measures and exquisite detail have made an impact on

The town of Sunshine Falls is a friendly place, it’s known for their lovely sunshine and their deep coal mines. Tim lives with his hard working mom, his playful dad, (Floyd) and his adorable little sister.

This paper contains a brief annotated bibliography composed of five research articles selected on a specific research topic, which could be conducive towards a preliminary research proposal. The preliminary title of my research topic is “Institutionalized Ethical Leadership: A study of its effects on the sustainability and longevity of international organizations.”

Disney’s target market consists mainly of family-oriented Asian tourists, primarily those from mainland China, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia. The mainland China accounted for large number of incoming visitors. At the time of Hong Kong Disneyland’s establishment, Hong Kong already enjoyed booming business and tourism sectors, but the government believed that the latter would be invigorated by the creation of a then absent “family tourist” niche. Below are the

Since the grand opening in 1971, Walt Disney World has continuously brought dreams to life. Walter Elias Disney and his brother Roy Oliver Disney cofounded Walt Disney World in hopes of encouraging imagination among all attendees. The park continues to grow and excite visitors from all over the world. Many people deem Walt Disney World as one of the best theme parks to exist. To make this evaluation one must consider the qualities successful theme parks possess. These include entertainment for all age groups, flexible options for health needs, advanced technology, and alluring themes. While Walt Disney World may be busy, it exhibits all the necessities of an excellent theme park.
