Walt Disney's Birthday

Walter Elias Disney was born on December 5, 1901 in Chicago, Illinois. When Walt Disney first opened Disneyland, it consisted of five themed areas:

1. Main Street, U.S.A. (an early 20th century Midwest town based on Walt Disney's childhood)
2. Adventureland (featuring jungle themed adventures)
3. Frontierland (illustrating the western frontier)
4. Fantasyland (bringing fantasy into a reality)
5. Tomorrowland (looking into the future)

Pretend that you worked for Walt Disney in 1955 and write an idea for a 6th themed area for Disneyland. Describe the theme for this area and the rides and buildings that would be included in this new area of Disneyland.
