DISNEY

Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

“It’s kind of fun to do the impossible”

Hi everybody!

To All Who Come to This Happy Place; Welcome. These words, spoken by Walt on the opening day of Disneyland in 1955 are echoed by the team here at YTT because wether you are planning your next Disney vacation, interested in film trivia or standing in line at an attraction and want to find out about some lore, we hope to have something for you.

Above all, Disney YTT is a fan site dedicated to exploring the history and culture of the phenomenon created by Walter Elias Disney. Emblazoned on a plaque fixed above the entrances to Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom are the words ‘Here You Leave Today And Enter The World Of Yesterday, Tomorrow And Fantasy.’ That sentiment, plus Walt’s idea to give his TV shows themes connected to the four lands of his theme park, is the template for the YTT website.

In YESTERDAY you’ll find posts about Walt’s life and legacy, from movies to parks and more.

In TODAY you’ll find out our team’s present day Disney content to help plan and inspire.

In TOMORROW you’ll find news and opinion on the future of Disney projects, plus YTT updates.

When he was planning EPCOT in the late 60’s, Walt declared that his grand experiment was to ever be in a constant state of becoming, and that’s what YTT is going to be as well. So click or tap on to join us for the ride as we explore Disney, Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.
