Eat Like Walt, explores the lore of each land, beginning with Main
Street, U.S.A., an homage to Walt's childhood home of Marceline,
Missouri, to Tomorrowland, set in futuristic 1986, a year Disney would
not live long enough to see.
Although Disneyland opened in 1955, its culinary history dates back to
1923 when Walt Disney first arrived in Hollywood. Walt was a simple
eater yet a big dreamer. By 1934, four years before his first feature
film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, would be released, Mickey Mouse
had made him famous enough to have a recipe published in Better Homes &
Gardens magazine.
Ask fans what Walt's favorite food was and most will say, "Chili." Chili
has a cult status at Disneyland. People want to eat what Walt ate, the
way he ate, where he ate it.
