Disneyland. Branded, the happiest place on earth. But why? What about the park’s aesthetic makes people happy? what makes people feel so good when they are there? What gives Disney it’s magic?

Here, I’ll go into an in depth explanation of what the philosophy of aesthetics encapsulates which includes anthropology, architecture, culture —and most importantly your own personal experiences.

This adventure explores how entertainment is not value neutral, and the most mundane story lines may introduce either moral judgements or want to influence your wallet (looking at you Autopia presented by Honda). All this being said, I love the Disney Parks, and I want to visit all 13 around the world. So let’s deep dive into just 1 today—- Disney Land Los Angeles.
