Regardless of historical and social debates on here over the past few years, Disneyland is the symbol of joy, happiness, and the inner child in us all. This place has given me wonderful memories, and I will take my children in the future to experience the magic that I felt there. Yes, the world isn't perfect, nor the important figures who we see here. But, instead of fighting over the downfalls, let's appreciate the great things that the word Disney represents. That is what Walt wanted afterall
life was better back then i agree,now america is ruined..full of hate,lies,sex,and evil..and the president we have now is just vacationing instead of fixing some of the major problems that we have now. cant wait for an actual president who knows what he's doing.
yall stop complaining about the blacks!!!! we now have a friggin black president, for heavens sake!!!!!!!! Stop living in the past!!!!!!! and shut the hell up about how blacks where treated back then. that was then this is now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is how the 'real' world should be....Heaven on earth for children and families. Goodwill toward fellow men and Peace on Earth....It's a Small World after all....
God bless Walt and his team of Imagineers, Artists and Designers who gave his inspiration, ideals, hopes, dreams, and faith a true reality for all to share. The world is better because of Walter Elias Disney, and childhood has no better hero than the Dreamers of Dreams. Thank you, Walt.
We always think the older generations are more patriotic...but notice that no one is singing the national anthem....hmmmm...in todays day and age...everyone would be singing!!!
@PieFights This was featured on the Walt Disney Treasures DVD set "Disneyland USA". It was released in December 2001, and it long out of print. You may be able to find some copies (albeit expensive) on Amazon and eBay. Hope that helps! :)
"metro's" family has been involved in a long battle over corruption in this company. it is one reason for political and economic trouble in ohio. it has international connections to other countries and governments and mafia elements. it also has to do with political and economic philosophies and corruption in the U.S.
I love how Art Linkletter snuck in the plug for cameras for rent at Eastman Kodak shop. Those who know their Disney History know that in exchange for Art acting as the Master of Ceremonies, he talked Walt into giving him the camera sales rights at Disneyland for ten years....
@anaheimrocker You can thank primarily Eisner and his cronies for turning a good part of what WAS Disney into an incubator for whores like Hannah Montana. Walt would have NEVER tolerated it, and he would have never tolerated Eisner. Roy Disney fought a long hard battle to recover Disney back into what Walt envisioned it to be.
is it me or did walt look a bit dishevled, and unkempt, idk maybe its me, but thanks for posting, its pretty cool to watch the opening of the happyest place on earth
As wonderful as this place is I have to wonder when they first allowed African Americans in? Whites didn't even want blacks drinking from the same water foundation as them so I'd have to assume they were definitely unwelcomed. Anyone know?
@anaheimrocker They probably wouldn't be famous if he was alive. Why did he have to get addicted to smoking?! But he would still probably be dead, unless he found a way to live over a hundred which only a few people in the world have achieved.
Disney would never tolerate any of these tween characters they have on todays Disneys payroll....they would never make it in the door..all I want to see is a real cartoon, enough with all this Crap!
God will always bless Disneyland. I truly believe this and I think it was great that they asked God's blessing on such a wonderful pace that has made so many millions of people happy.
Hmm...kinda makes you wonder what happened to people, don't it?
At least Disneyland (the last time I was there anyway) is still a friendly, welcoming place. I think at the very least they have tried, so hard, to stay true to Walt's vision.
asking for a moment of prayer is still ok in this country robert. however asking that everyone pray to a certain god is not.
we think they were better days, but did you see a large contingent of minorities in that crowd? no you didn't! even disney discriminated. the discrimination going on during that time was horrendous. many blacks were still being murdered just for being black. they hid the injustices back then, so we only thought they were better times. they were far from it.
@Robert4770 There was plenty of hate back then. It just wasn't as available in the media as it is today. Walt Disney himself took part in the "Red Scare" in Hollywood. Accusing Union Organizers and former business rivals of being members of the Communist party.
@Robert4770 Religion aside(please), there was just as much hate in the past....possibly more. When that man mentioned 'good will towards men" I thought about how the colored's were treated then.
When he said the US "extends the great ideals...of peace on Earth" I thought of the recent Korean war, the upcoming Vietnam war, the ongoing African "US cotton slaves" then the 80's, selling weapons to our friends: Iraq. and Israel
Then there's good will towards the Indians, witches, 911 rescuers
@foamyjesus If you didn't notice, I didn't hear or see anyone mention a specific deity. That's not infringing on one's right to worship in the way they choose.
If those folks from yesteryear could see the riff raff of today , they would start a revoltion to win back this country. See all that class. decent people. Yea they probably had fetishes too, but they kept to themselves. thats true class. No baggy pants, filthy women addicted to meth. No tattoed hispanic or whit males acting stupid. Just real people who lived life correctly. That was America, and the best days are behind us. Now all we have is pure greed from both ends including enviromentalist
you're thoughts can't be further from the truth tissao!
ONLY the rich and privileged were allowed there during the grand opening. i lived during that time, and part of the hollywood myths, especially disney's was to hide the ugly truth. i cast no aspersions on my disney...he was my mentor, but please don't be fooled that it was a kinder gentler time. not while blacks were still discriminated against...and even murdered for wanting to enjoy this country's freedoms.

Back in the good ol days when California had all white and black Americans. These filthy sleezebag gang infested mexicans need to be eradicated. You should see these sleezebags when they go to Disneyland dressed like idiots.
mexican americans are the heart and soul of southwestern america. when i lived in california, i loved the hispanic community with it's sense of family, friends and honor.
they are a wonderful, important segment of america with it's rich traditions and culture.
@Wowmer32 there r lots of ppl who are not religous that are completly amazing. who are very pure in thought. just because they have a different way of seeing things, doesnt mean they are bad.
but he got cute two daughter they might take to disneyland if they want to . a cast member told me that every presdient go disney park but went in sercet . it all true
nope, I believe he felt very strongly AGAINST the nazis, have you seen all the propaganda cartoons?? ((my sis had to watch a lot in History class, she showed some to me, and some are quite funny :] ))
It is really amazing that the people were so polite back then and how simple life was in those days. No video games, no computers, no colored tv. no cell phones either. Just amazing
Om my how woderfull the respect of people was back then. Manner which we lack nowadays and I say that at 16 years old. I may sound old fashioned but come on I dont even feel safe walking downt the street.
nowadays on tv its all like..oh you cant see the cameras and everything is so polished. i like how they actually seem normal on this video..like it isnt perfect.
did walt just run thats one healthy man in terms of fitnes sadly not his lungs poor guy passed of lung cancer and where are you guys getting they froze him they creemated him
come on guys.Even though if we have to pay to get in,it`s our land!I mean Walt Disney`s reason to make this place is to visit the place and have fun and be happy. i mean I know it`s crazy that he froze himself,but it`s also beautiful I mean. He had a dream that he will come back to this kind of time,if they find the cure to bring him back. I know where his body is hidden in the whole park of disney! but he also had a dream that all people of all ages will be happy. Isnt that enough?
It's so sad that if someone would try to get everyone to pray like that nowadays, so many people would be offened. Sometimes I wish that it could be like 50's again.
thats called the 50's. Not to mention that every1 has an egual amount of space and there is some speaking, you just can't see it. They controlled who could b there at opening, too.
whell i benn disneyland summer 2001 i giong to disneyland in 2008 idleracer you are right it is 9:45a.m. beacuse long in 5 short in 9 and in 2008 i got very very bad news it is small world close for rehab ENTIRE YEAR OF 2008 damm it i am going to miss that unit 2009 trip
It's difficult to tell the big hand from the small one on the clock that the flag passes on it's way up. I can't tell if it's 9:25 in the morning or 4:45 in the afternoon.
Disney has gotten a lot better. The 90s were a dark time, but now things are looking up.
And as far as the park, they DO still have the same values. Walt wanted the park to change right? Well, they HAVE kept the park changing. Walt did NOT want to park to stay the same forever, like some selfish fans do.
Well I think Walt wanted Disneyland to be a place anyone can enjoy... charging 70 dollars for a ticket seems unfair as well as charging 4 dollars for a soda... Did Walt ask for that? Disney doesn't even have to pay for its soda and it still charges that much!
Disney does have to pay its employees, though. Basic rule of economics is that when the minimum wage goes up, so do prices for everything else. I'm not sure if Walt would have agreed with those practices, but at the very least, Eisner's not the one calling the shots anymore. :/
The 90s weren't as dark as the 80s when they came an inch away from being part of a hostile take over that would've destroyed Disney far more than Eisner ever could
If he was antisemetic why would he have the Jewish faith represented here? Exactly, he problably was not.

How un-politically correct. Non of those speeches would be allowed today now that we're all so tolerant and crap.

come on guys.Even though if we have to pay to get in,it`s our land!I mean Walt Disney`s reason to make this place is to visit the place and have fun and be happy. i mean I know it`s crazy that he froze himself,but it`s also beautiful I mean. He had a dream that he will come back to this kind of time,if they find the cure to bring him back. I know where his body is hidden in the whole park of disney! but he also had a dream that all people of all ages will be happy. Isnt that enough?

His body was never frozen. Walt would not want to come back if he was frozen. Too many bad things going on today.

It's so sad that if someone would try to get everyone to pray like that nowadays, so many people would be offened. Sometimes I wish that it could be like 50's again.

thats called the 50's. Not to mention that every1 has an egual amount of space and there is some speaking, you just can't see it. They controlled who could b there at opening, too.

It's difficult to tell the big hand from the small one on the clock that the flag passes on it's way up. I can't tell if it's 9:25 in the morning or 4:45 in the afternoon.

It's 9:25. That's when they first opened it.

If only the Disney of today had the same decent values that Disney once had...
rogueld 4 years ago
Disney has gotten a lot better. The 90s were a dark time, but now things are looking up.
And as far as the park, they DO still have the same values. Walt wanted the park to change right? Well, they HAVE kept the park changing. Walt did NOT want to park to stay the same forever, like some selfish fans do.

Well I think Walt wanted Disneyland to be a place anyone can enjoy... charging 70 dollars for a ticket seems unfair as well as charging 4 dollars for a soda... Did Walt ask for that? Disney doesn't even have to pay for its soda and it still charges that much!
mtakenM 4 years ago 3
Well, in regards to the prices, Yes, that IS unfair.
But that is just how the world is today, sadly.

Disney's got a LOT of shit to pay for and none of it is cheap
Dragonrider1227 4 years ago
Disney does have to pay its employees, though. Basic rule of economics is that when the minimum wage goes up, so do prices for everything else. I'm not sure if Walt would have agreed with those practices, but at the very least, Eisner's not the one calling the shots anymore. :/

Thats a very good point

@mtakenM I wish they would have kept the single price of 1 dollar to get in.
HDMrWatterBottle 1 year ago
The 90s weren't as dark as the 80s when they came an inch away from being part of a hostile take over that would've destroyed Disney far more than Eisner ever could
Dragonrider1227 4 years ago
If you would have seen it back in the 70's like I did you wouldnt say that.
