"We built Disneyland with probably not 10% of the plans to start with, Fowler said in the new Disneyland Handcrafted documentary. The plans were developed as we went along."
"When we started out, Walt didn't know how to read a plan, Irvine said in the documentary. It wasn't soon until he not only could read a plan, he could read it better than all of us."
"Every job that you work on with Walt is different and you figure out what you're going to do and how you're going to do it just as you get started with it, Gurr said in the documentary."
"We had no project manager. Therefore we didn't need any coordinators, Gurr said in the documentary."
Construction on Disneyland began in July 1954 as a yearlong blitz carried out amid skepticism and predictions of failure. The project started with probably less than 10% of the final plans, and blueprints and technical drawings were developed as construction progressed. Walt Disney initially could not read technical plans but quickly became proficient, eventually outpacing others in plan reading. Teams learned on the job, improvising solutions to complete attractions. Designers created key elements such as Autopia cars and Main Street vehicles without a formal project manager or traditional coordination structures.
