Disneyland Progress 1955 - Part 1

[1000darkangelgirl1]

It's amazing that disneyland used to be just a pile of dirt

[catfishbates1]

I remember the new stuff that Disneyland in the 1955's, Frontierland was a barren land, just like the badlands, and the old frontier..there was a smell and quality that has been in my heart and in my mind..I love it..open from 10.am untill 10..pm..closed on Mondays..

[catfishbates1]

This is how I remember the org.park..

Walt once said, if he had only known how successful disneyland would become, he would of bought all the land within 10 square miles....Thats why disneyworld is 30 thousand acres..

This brings back good memories from as a kid

Hehe I have no idea how you could doubt the city hall was a skyscraper in 1955. GREAT video

Walt Disney talking like a Hippy, Priceless!

This is great Disneyland History, thanks!

[SunnyDays951]

Oh my God when I hear Jimminy Cricket singing "when you wish upon a star" I get goose bumps!!

[GinaToySculptor]

Gives me tears... so long ago and so many children had a Disneyland childhood - thanks to beloved Uncle Walt and his fantastic team of Imagineers ! Thanks Walt!

2:20 the buildings looks like a face

Nowhere near the size he needed; 180 acres just didn't make it. Disneyland has more acreage today, but in Orlando, Disney was able to have a truly full area, I believe it's around 43 square miles or more.

AMAZING!!!! My favourite place in the world!!! :)

[STRANGEJAMES85]

It's hard to believe that it was built in a year, and basically with no money. I can't imagine the pressure Walt must have felt during construction.

4:17 no parking problems...

[Disneycoasterfan]

@itsaguinness Hahaha that's what I was thinking lol...if only Walt knew what parking's like on a crowded day now...

[LittleLegion]
