Abstract:
For my project I orignally wanted to create a vlog of me talking about Disneyland rides and music that came out in the 1970s decade. My plan was to film myself in Disneyland as I had two trips planned to go in March and April, with the pandemic occuring it through off my plan. So I switched to a blog, making my own website. My website's name is "Once Upon a Disneyland" and it is a full on working website with the primary focus being on 70s rides and the ride music which all opened in the 1970s. The specific ones I chose to focus on are Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, the voice of the ride, Space Mountain and the ride music, as well as The Main Street Electrical Parade, as well as the music that went into creating it. I have added videos and photos, some being my own and others I have sourced from the internet. I have always been passionate about Disneyland all my life so this project has been very fun for me, as I have learned new things of Disney history in just the ten years I focused on for this. 

The focus of this project will be found in the "Blog" section of the page. I hope to trasnform this page into one I will use for all things Disney in the future, so the home page is set up in that format. The Blog page has my research within the blogs, as well as some added fun blogs as if this were a true blog posting. I hope you enjoy!

Also, I was unable to download the website into a PDF or file since it is a live and active website. That being said I did attach the link onto a google doc which will be submitted with the works cited. Thank you!
