 Disneyland
Park
"We believed in our
idea - a family park where parents and children could have fun- together."
 Walt Disney
Disneyland Park Map
In the early 1950’s Walt Disney rolled the dice
on 107 acres of Southern California real estate and a dream. It was the
biggest gamble of his life. His dream was to build a place where everyone
young and old could come and be a kid again. His
vision was a place he called Disneyland. The happiest place on earth,
"It has that thing - the imagination, and the feeling of
happy excitement- I knew when I was a kid." Walt Disney
Disneyland is the only Disney theme park that Walt Disney ever saw
completed. He could often be seen strolling through his park speaking with
guests and signing autographs. He would eventually head back to his office
located above the fire station on Main Street with a head full of ideas
about ways to improve the park. So it is no wonder that this theme park
seems to embody many of his endearing characteristics and has thankfully
over the years managed to hold onto much of its original charm.
Excuse me but can you tell me how to get to…?
The park itself is essentially laid out the same as it was for its
1955 opening day with the exception of the addition of a new land called
Mickey’s Toontown. Guests are still welcomed onto Main Street a
reproduction and tribute to a 1900 turn-of-the-century Middle American
small town. Main Street then empties guest into the hub of its spoke and
wheel design with Sleeping Beauty Castle anchoring the hub. Guests are
then funneled into one of four lands with an additional two lands that can
be accessed from pedestrian pathways located further in the park. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Fantasmic!
Guests are treated to this multi-media presentation on nights that the
theme park is open late.
Mickey reprises his role as the Sorcerer’s Apprentice from the classic
film Fantasia. Amide laser images, fireworks, special lighting and a
musical score that is first rate Mickey leads the battle of good over
evil.
We could back a truckload of superlatives up to this one and would not be
over doing it. This is simply the best out door spectacular to be found at
any theme park anywhere.
25 minutes (weather permitting)
Located at the end of Tom Sawyers Island with viewing available from
Frontierland and New Orleans Square waterfront. |

 Disneyland Monorail System
This futuristic transportation system can be used to transport guests from
a busy & crowded theme park to the relative calm and tranquility of the
Disney hotels and Downtown Disney. Even if your escape is just long enough
to enjoy a more relaxing lunch than can be found in the park it will have
been worth the effort. |

Disney Trivia:
This attraction loads and
unloads painfully, insufferably and excruciatingly slow, often
making for an unbearable, intolerable and agonizingly long wait at
peak times. So if this is on your must see list do you and yours a
favor and hit this one early. |
|
| |
Disney Tip: Often times it
is debated as to whether Dumbo is worth the wait. It’s your vacation
you be the judge. One thing that can help is the "Chuck Bubba Relay"
as described in Bob Sehlinger’s book "The Unofficial Guide to
Disneyland" It is performed as follows:
One parent will wait in line with bubba. The other parent allows a
certain number of people to get in front of them (32 in the case of
Dumbo) and then gets in line. When Bubba finishes his ride they then
exit and little Bubba is passed to the other parent. Bubba can enjoy
two Dumbo’s for the price of one wait |

Disney Trivia:
When former President
Harry Truman visited Disneyland® park in 1957, Dumbo was one of the
few attractions he didn't ride. Truman didn't want to be associated
with a character related to the Republican party.
This attraction opened in 1955 but
not on Disneyland park's opening day. It was remodeled and relocated
in 1983. |

Disney Trivia:
The lyrics to the first verse of the theme song are "It's a
world of laughter / A world of tears / It's a world of hopes and a
