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. turn the page for more!

Why does Alice ask so many questions? Because she's in Wonderland. VICTORIES FOR VETERANS Brandon Marchioni

“MY VICTORY IS BEING HERE FOR MY FAMILY.”

• ABC TV guaranteed a $6 million loan in exchange for Walt’s pledge to produce a weekly television show for them. • Construction began on July 21, 1954, with the park divided into five sections with 18 attractions. Main Street was at the front of the park, a turn-of-the-century city Main Street. Adventureland was to be an “exotic tropical place,” complete with jungles. Frontierland would allow visitors to experience America’s pioneer days. The goal of Fantasyland was to “make dreams come true,” complete with princesses and flying fairies, while Tomorrowland offered a glimpse into the “marvels of the future.” The parking lot was designed with 15,167 spaces. Walt’s “magical little park” had turned into a $17 million theme park. • Just shy of a year later, Disneyland held its opening day. Its first day was to be limited to by-invitation-only guests for a preview of flying elephants, giant teacups, moon rockets, and a castle. Six thousand invitations were sent to Disney studio workers, the park’s construction workers, the press, and officials of company sponsors. Unfortunately, because of counterfeit tickets, an additional 22,000 people entered the park. • 53-year-old Walt Disney dedicated the park in the morning, then got busy with ABC filming a 90-minute live special, hosted by TV and movie personalities Art Linkletter, Ronald Reagan, and Bob Cummings, a broadcast that would be watched by 90 million people. • The day was plagued with mishaps, including a 7-mile freeway backup. A heat wave caused temperatures to approach 110 degrees, accompanied by a plumbers’ strike which left most of the park’s water fountains and rest rooms out of order. Asphalt laid the night before became soft and women’s shoes sunk into the tar. A gas leak temporarily closed Fantasyland. Yet nothing could stop the opening to the public the following day. Why was Cinderella so very bad at soccer?

Because she was always running away from the ball, kept losing her shoes, and she had a pumpkin for a coach!

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

● When you were growing up, did kids call each other “chicken” to insult each other’s bravery? In all likelihood, the answer is yes. That word has been used since the 14th century to insult those considered to be cowardly. ● It was once against the law in some places -- England, for example -- for a man to marry his brother’s widow. It was considered to be an incestuous relationship. ● On a per-capita basis, Canada is the most educated place in the world; more than half of the country’s residents have earned at least one college degree.

• The entrance fee was $1.00, about $6.50 in today’s dollars. Roy Disney purchased ticket number one, but the first visitor to buy an entrance ticket was David MacPherson, ticket #2. Three attractions were free, but individual tickets for 18 rides ranged from 10 cents to 35 cents each. (Current ticket prices start at $95.00 per day.) • To avoid overcrowding, Walt Disney limited daily attendance to 20,000. It took just seven weeks for the park to welcome its one-millionth guest. Ten years after opening day, more than 50 million visitors had passed through the gates. • Shortly after Disneyland’s opening, Walt Disney was heard to say, “We’re gonna kick ourselves for not buying everything within a radius of ten miles around here.” • Disney’s weekly television series guaranteed to ABC in exchange for the $6 million loan debuted on October 27, 1955. • The Mark Twain riverboat seen in Frontierland sailed for the first time four days before the park opened, carrying guests at a private party celebrating Walt and Lillian Disney’s 30th wedding anniversary. On Opening Day, with the mad rush of uninvited guests, the ride became overcrowded and nearly capsized. It seems that nobody had established its maximum safe passenger capacity. • Since Disneyland’s opening day, folks have been getting motion sickness at the Mad Tea Party, a ride featuring 18 spinning tea cups. The inspiration for this attraction came from a scene in Disney’s 1951 animated film, Alice in Wonderland, when the Mad Hatter and friends celebrated with an Unbirthday Party. During the first two years after opening, the tea cups had no brakes or clutches, and there was no limit on how fast they could spin.

• Although the flying Dumbo elephants are a long-time favorite at Disneyland, they weren’t there on Opening Day. The original 10 elephants, based on Disney’s 1941 film Dumbo, didn’t debut until three months after the park opened. When former U.S. President Harry S. Truman visited Disneyland in 1957, he declined a ride on the revolving pachyderms. It wasn’t due to motion sickness – the Democrat didn’t want to associate with an elephant, the symbol of the Republican Party. One of the original Dumbo’s can be viewed at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. • The Matterhorn bobsleds were also not an original Disneyland feature. The steel roller coaster ride opened on June 14, 1959, the same day the Monorail and the Submarine Voyage made their debut. Walt Disney conceived the idea while in the Alps of Switzerland filming Third Man on the Mountain. Inspired by the beauty of the Matterhorn, he sent a postcard of the mountain to his Disneyland architect Vic Greene with the words, “Vic, build this. Walt.” The park’s mountain was built to 1/100th scale of the original, 147 feet versus the 14,700 feet of the original. • The Submarine Voyage was open from 1959 until 1998, and simulated an undersea voyage through coral reefs, mysterious caves, and a graveyard of sunken ships. A portion of the ride imitated the 1958 voyage of the nuclear submarine, the USS Nautilus as it sailed under the Arctic Ocean’s polar ice cap. From 1965 to 1967, female employees dressed in mermaid costumes sunbathed and performed synchronized swimming stunts in the lagoon surrounding the attraction, receiving $1.65 per hour for their efforts. After several complained of health issues related to the subs’ diesel exhaust fumes, this feature was discontinued.

MORE DISNEY FACTS • Sleeping Beauty Castle is based on Bavaria, Germany’s 19th-century Neuschwanstein Castle. • Main Street, U.S.A. featured Merlin’s Magic Shop from Opening Day until 1983. A 15-year-old teen named Steve Martin got his first job there in 1960, where he remained for three years. The comedian credits his employment there as helping him developing his performance skills. • The term “animatronics” was coined in 1963 when Disneyland’s Polynesianthemed Enchanted Tiki Room opened, filled with 225 robotic singing, talking, and dancing birds. • Since May of 1966, visitors to Disneyland’s Fantasyland have been taking a boat ride through “It’s a Small World,” an attraction with a world-brotherhood theme and a song that most have trouble getting out of their brain. Singing and dancing dolls are dressed in native garb of each nation. The attraction had its debut on April 22, 1964 at the 1964 World’s Fair in New York, and was shipped to Disneyland at the Fair’s conclusion. • Walt Disney kept his chain-smoking habit out of the public eye, never allowing himself to be photographed with a cigarette. He also never smoked around children. After feeling poorly for several months, in November of 1966, he entered the hospital for leg and neck pain. It was a busy time for Disney, with construction for Florida’s Walt Disney World having already begun. Disney was quickly diagnosed with lung cancer, and passed away just six weeks later at age 65. It would be nearly five more years until the Florida theme park was completed. • Prior to 1985, during the off-season, Disneyland was closed every Monday and Tuesday. Since then, it has been open daily, year round, with the exception of the national day of mourning following President John F. Kennedy’s assassination in 1963, following the severe 1994 Northridge earthquake, and in 2001 at the time of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. • The boat ride through the “Pirates of the Caribbean” attraction was personally supervised by Walt Disney. He had originally envisioned it as a walk-through wax museum, but after the success of “It’s a Small World’s” boat concept, he adjusted his designs. “Pirates” was the last ride Walt Disney would be involved with. It was under construction when he passed away and opened in 1967, three months after his death. A new section of the park, New Orleans Square, was built at a cost of $15 million, ironically the same cost as the real Louisiana Purchase in 1803. The cost of the Pirates attraction came in at $8 million. The Spanish-style building was built with a 3,000 square foot apartment on the second floor, intended for entertaining and relaxing by Walt and his brother Roy. Following Walt’s death, the space never served its original purpose. • The Disney-produced Pirates of the Caribbean film series, based on the theme park’s attraction, began in 2003 with The Curse of the Black Pearl. Three more films followed, with the series grossing over $3.7 billion worldwide.
