‘Disneyland on the Mountain,’ by Greg Glasgow and Kathryn Mayer, chronicles Walt Disney’s efforts to build a resort in California’s Mineral King valley.
Walt Disney’s ill-fated efforts to build a ski resort in California’s Mineral King valley are chronicled in the new book, “Disneyland on the Mountain.” Disney fans could probably name a few candidates. Many Disneyland visitors might wonder what the resort would look like today if management had chosen to go with the proposed Westcot theme instead of Disney California Adventure for the resort’s second gate.
Glasgow and Mayer have reported one of the best Disney history books I have read in a long time. It provides a well-balanced recap of what was a contentious battle over Disney’s proposal to turn Mineral King into an innovative resort destination — one that would have set a new standard for what a ski resort could be.
I have no doubt that Disney would have developed a commercially successful resort at Mineral King, one that would have helped the company financially in the years following Walt’s death. I also suspect that Disney’s Mineral King would have helped expand the ski industry, spawning a boom in popularity for winter and mountain sports, much like Disneyland did for theme parks.
