On July 20, 1969, MANKIND LANDED ON THE MOON, and guests at DISNEYLAND were able to uniquely witness one of the grandest American achievements of all time... from within the heart of TOMORROWLAND. But surprisingly enough, the storied journey that led the US to that incredible moment would require the origins and impacts of the very environment around them...

In fully appreciating the gravity of that remarkable event we must look back to the start and realize how figures like Walt Disney, animator Ward Kimball, and more were surprisingly influential in furthering American space exploration. This is the complete story of the day man arrived on the Moon... in DISNEYLAND.
