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. |

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
