Disneyland is Magical But is it Green?
I’ve written about Walt Disney World’s certified green hotels on The Disney Traveler before, so I was excited when Liz Lewis of b5media’s Traveling the Green Way blog offered to write a guest post that highlights some of the green efforts at Disneyland. Without further ado, here is Liz’s guest post….
It’s always been known as the magical kingdom.
But can it also be called the green kingdom?
According to Frank Dela Vara, technical directory of Disneyland Environmental Affairs, it’s something that they are definitely working on.
These days, the cars of Main Street run on compressed natural gas, the train runs on soybean oil, and there are over 300 recycling containers to be found around the park. One of Disneyland’s oldest attractions, the submarine ride, was re-launched last year as the Finding Nemo attraction, with all eight of the original submarines now powered by clean and quiet magnetic coils.

Check out Disney Going Green, a video report from MSNBC, on the opening of the Finding Nemo attraction last year.
And also this video report Disneyland May Be Greener Than You Think from KTLA Green.
Turns out that Disneyland is a green, green world after all…
