For decades, Disneyland has been known worldwide as “The Happiest Place On Earth,” but it hasn’t always been that way. Before it opened, Walt Disney and his team struggled to come up with marketing language that clearly conveyed their fantastical vision for the theme park, and a number of slogan options were considered before they ultimately landed on the one we all know today.
