According to Richard Lowry, the first and only holdup in Disneyland history went like this:
On Aug. 21, 1960, the 25-year-old restaurant cashier was tasked with taking the day 's cash haul to the Disneyland bank (more on this in a minute). Holding linen bags filled with $10,000 - almost $95,000 today, adjusted for inflation - he headed out into the packed Sunday crowds on Main Street. As ...

Walt Disney was no teetotaller. At the end of his work day, his secretary would often pour him a Scotch Mist: scotch, plenty of ice and a kiss of lemon peel on top. But when it came to his theme park empire, Disney abhorred the thought of alcohol served to his guests. He despised places like Coney Island, full of debauchery, necking teens and plenty of booze. When Disneyland opened in 1955, it sold ...
