It is every Filipino child's dream to visit the Disneyland so they'll have the chance to meet and greet their favorite Disney characters like Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Pluto, Goofy and the Disney Princesses. Before, one must be well-off enough in order to fulfill this simple dream because you need to travel abroad to make this dream a reality since there's no Disneyland in the Philippines. Luckily, the late philantropist, J. Amado Araneta had envisioned building a huge arena in which sports, entertainment and other public events are to be held. J. Amado Araneta once dreamed about bringing world-class shows and performances in the country so that more Filipinos would have access to it, including the less fortunate. Thus, the Smart Araneta Coliseum (formerly known as Araneta Coliseum) or also popularly known as The Big Dome was built.
