Disneyland in 1955
I found a great article about disneyland's opening in 1955 with pictures and facts. I found it really interesting and even learned a thing or two that I did not previously know. Thanks to Mouse Planet for this article. Click the link below to read the article.

Golden Goofs30 Foul Ups for the 50thTuesday, July 18, 2006David Koenig, staff writer (Send an email)
Considering the rate at which pirates—and pirate merchandise—are overtaking Disneyland, it appears as if the park's marketing staff is eager to bring its phenomenally successful Golden Anniversary celebration to a close. Some of the 50th decorations have already been taken down; most of the rest of the special features should be stripped away by Halloween.Whatever you do, make sure you get the chance to savor the historical exhibit "Disneyland: The First 50 Magical Years" at the Opera House. The antiques are interesting, and the Steve Martin movie is fun. But, best of all, is the exhibit's heart—a 12-foot-by-12-foot scale model reproduction of Disneyland on Opening Day 1955. I've seen hundreds of photos of 1955's Magic Kingdom, from every conceivable angle, but never before in three dimensions, in living color. The display is spectacular, providing a deeper sense of what the park was like years before most of us had the chance to visit.
