Good morning. Today marks the dawn of new era in the Walt Disney Company. We are about to unveil a new gateway, a gateway to the Golden dream of California, a new state of mind where spirits are free to discover everything under the sun at Disney’s California Adventure. It is now my honor to read the official dedication:

To all who believe in the power of dreams…Welcome! Disney’s California Adventure opens its golden gates to you. Here we pay tribute to the dreamers of the past…the native people, explorers, immigrants, aviators, entrepreneurs and entertainers who built the Golden State. And we salute a new generation of dreamers who are creating the wonders of tomorrow…from the silver screen to the computer screen…from the fertile farmlands to the far reaches of space. Disney’s California Adventure celebrates the richness and the diversity of California…its land, its people, its spirit and above all, the dreams that it continues to inspire.
