AMERICAÕS PRINCESS — Former child star and future diplomat Shirley Temple joins Walt Disney at the opening of the Sleeping Beauty Castle walkthrough at Disneyland on April 29, 1957. The walkthrough, located inside the iconic castle, featured the story of Disney’s ‘Sleeping Beauty’ told through a series of dioramas. A new walkthrough will open in Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland in time for the December holidays.
WALT DISNEY — Walt Disney “meets” some residents of the ‘itÕs a small world’ attraction at Disneyland in California, during construction in May, 1966. One of the most popular Disney attractions of all time, the show is a fun-filled and whimsical salute to the children of the world that conveys its message of peace and harmony through the international language of music.
MAIN SREET UNDER CONSTRUCTION (1955) Ð- Workers prepare to pour cement where the northern edge of Town Square meets Main Street USA.
TOMORROWLAND UNDER CONSTRUCTION (1955) -Ð Only days before opening day, a crane lifts the ÒRocket to the MoonÓ during construction of Tomorrowland.
OPENING DAY DEDICATION (1955) -Ð Walt Disney reads the Disneyland dedication plaque before a national television audience; ÒTo all who come to this happy place – welcomeÉÓ
DISNEYLAND HOTEL (1961) — The Disneyland Hotel opened across the street from Disneyland in 1955, but was built and owned by WaltÕs friend, Jack Wrather until purchased from The Wrather Corporation in 1988. The Disneyland Monorail track was expanded in 1961 to transport guests to and from the hotel, making it the only monorail in the country to cross a public street.
FUTURE SITE OF DISNEYLAND Ð- Originally covered with orange groves and made up of parcels of land owned by 17 different people, Walt Disney purchased 160 acres in Anaheim to build his dream of a place where parents and children could have fun Ð together.
MAD TEA PARTY (1966) — This opening day attraction, based on a scene in “Alice in Wonderland,” spins Disneyland guests in giant teacups. Pictured here at its original location, it was moved near the Matterhorn in 1983 during the construction of the new Fantasyland.
WALT DISNEY AT THE ENCHANTED TIKI ROOM (1963) -Ð The first attraction to feature sophisticated Audio-Animatronics figures opened June 23, 1963. The show features more than 200 birds, tikis and flowers. (Disneyland Resort)
DISNEYLAND UNVEILED (1954) -Ð In front of an early rendering by Disney legend Peter Ellenshaw, Walt Disney unveils his plans for Disneyland to a national television audience during the premiere of ÒDisneylandÓ the television show, October 27, 1954.
SLEEPING BEAUTY CASTLE UNDER CONSTRUCTION (1955) Ð Two months before she “awoke” to opening day visitors, this Disneyland landmark was getting a few final touches from construction workers. Walt Disney wanted this castle to be a friendly and welcoming presence in his park so it was built on a smaller scale than its European counterparts.
OPENING DAY (1955) -Ð This is a rare color image of opening day taken outside the Main Entrance of Disneyland.
OPENING DAY, FANTASYLAND (1955) -Ð Hundreds of children run through Sleeping Beauty Castle after the long-awaited lowering of the drawbridge into Fantasyland.
DISNEYLAND RAILROAD (1966) — One of Disneyland’s original attractions from opening day and arguably Walt Disney’s personal favorite, the trains of the Disneyland Railroad have Òcovered enough trackÓ in 50 years to circle the earth more than 200 times. The trains provide guests an overall view of the park as well as the Grand Canyon and Primeval World dioramas.
MATTERHORN MODEL (1958) — Walt Disney reviews a model for the Matterhorn Bobsleds which opened in 1959 at a height of 147 feet.

オープンしたピクサー・ピアとともに、9月3日までは「Pixar Fest」も開催中。2019年には「Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge」のオープンが待っていますし、とうとう新たなホテルも発表されました。歴史も変化もある元祖ディズニーランド、これからも末永く発展することを。
