1955: DISNEYLAND Opens!


In 1955, Walt Disney's greatest dream came true- DISNEYLAND opened its gates to the world, welcoming the first of what would eventually become hundreds of millions of guests.


 

It's hard to believe, but many people predicted the park wouldn't last six months. Now over six decades later, Walt's dream has only gotten bigger- and it shows no signs of stopping.

 


"Just imagine- if you were standing right here over 60 years ago, you'd be standing in the middle of an orange grove. One visionary man stood right where you are now, but instead of orange trees, he envisioned a Magic Kingdom. This man's name was Walt Disney. And his dream would be called DISNEYLAND."
