July 17, 1955: Disneyland Opens in Anaheim, California
Is it possible to imagine an America that does not have a Disneyland or a Disney World? It’s difficult, yet there once was a time when neither of these places existed. In July we celebrate the opening of Disneyland, which had its ribbon cutting ceremony on July 17, 1955. (You can find a great timeline showing the major events around Disneyland here).
Where did Disneyland come from and why was it created? The story begins with the vision of Walt Disney.
