TIDBITS® TRAVELS TO DISNEYLAND
(307) 672-8778
by Kathy Wolfe July 17 has been designated Disneyland Day, commemorating Opening Day of the original theme park on that day in 1955. In honor of the occasion, Tidbits studies up on this famous attraction in Anaheim, California. • A simple carousel was the inspiration for Walt Disney’s dream of Disneyland. Every Sunday, Disney took his two daughters to play at Los Angeles’ Griffith Park, and he sat on the park bench and watched. As he sat, he noted that most parents had nothing to do, and envisioned a place where both children and their parents could have fun together. • Disney’s ambition was for an eight-acre park called Mickey Mouse Park, located near his studios in Burbank. He planned themed areas throughout the park, and as his vision grew, he soon saw that eight acres was not nearly large enough. In 1953, Disney hired the Stanford Research Institute to search for a 100-acre site within the Los Angeles metropolitan area that was accessible by freeway. The company soon located a 160-acre orange grove in semi-rural Orange County near Anaheim. • Walt borrowed against his life insurance, sold his second house, and along with his brother Roy mortgaged everything they owned to raise the funds to build Disneyland.
