July 17, 1955 Special

Now alot of things happened on that day. Little Jimmy got one of his teeth pulled, Suzy might have gone on her first date...who knows? I think the most important thing was...

The opening of Disneyland in Anaheim, California!

First, you may want to visit Daveland Blog. He is also doing a picture special on this special day!

Also, on YouTube you can watch all the opening day activites!

There are 8 parts so if you have some downtime anytime soon...it's an interesting watch!

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3!

Part 4...

PART 5!!

Part 6.....

PART 7!!!

and of course...

PART 8!

It is very a very interesting, entertaining watch! Full of corny lines and funny bloopers.

Now, I am very glad that July 17th, 1955 came. Disneyland truly is a "source of joy and inspiration to all the world"

Preston,
FYI, That same year that Disneyland opened, in 1955, my dad was 10 years old. He and his parents were sitting on a bench taking a little rest when guess who sat right next to him? Walt Disney himself!! He asked my dad how he liked Disneyland. Too bad he doesn't have a picture to prove it, but it really did happen.
