First off I know that it makes sense that everything at Disneyland is Disney related. But the experience begins way before that! The hotels in the area are "Disney Good Neighborhood Hotel"s to show they are approved by Disney. The Streetlights have Mickey on top, the food is all shaped in Disney shapes, this list could go on forever.
I guess I just realized that they literally use every sense (touch, taste, sight, smell, and sound) and then stimulate it in a way that makes you think of Disney. It is branding to a whole new level!
Also side note I finally saw the show World of Color which is amazing and also shows so much Disney!!
So I guess my thoughts were that even at a park where your focus is on rides, the media surounding you is very specific. And humorous. And eye grabbing.
I think my favorite was learning about Disney conspiracies. Like Walt Disney got the idea for Mickey Mouse from an Egyptian mouse worshipping cult.
I think this also made me realize the power of corporations like Disney. The have their own channel, radio station, theme park, etc. Their ideals can absolutely influence you. So watch how much you consume/internalize.
