Disney Mirrors American Culture
Last fall, the Walt Disney Company did something rare: it admitted defeat in its fight to build a history theme park in Virginia.The park was going to be called Disneys America. Some people might be wondering, however, if Disney lost the battle but won the war, as it seems everyone is living in Disneys America these days.
