Timber. Three Years in Wonderland presents the never-before-told, full story of ‘the happiest put on globe.’ Using information from over a hundred unpublished interviews, Todd James Pierce lays down the arc of Disneyland’s development from a concept to a paragon of entertainment.

In compelling detail, Three around three Years in Wonderland: The Disney Brothers, C. V. Real wood, and the Making of the Great American Theme Recreation area Years in Wonderland lays out the problems and rewards of building the world’s initial cinematic theme recreation area and convincing the American public that a seventeen million dollar amusement recreation area was the perfect place for a family vacation. The first experience of Walt Disney, Roy Disney, and C. V. Timber is one of the most captivating untold stories in the annals of Hollywood. Pierce interviewed dozens of individuals who liked long careers at the Walt Disney Organization as well as dozens of individuals who-like C. V.
