Fifty-Six


Disneyland opened 56 years ago today with this simple dedication speech from Walt Disney. In a ceremony around the flagpole today at 2:30, Mickey and friends will replay the speech. It will be heard throughout the park. Speaking for the fans, we say "Thank You" for all the memories through the years.

On a personal note, the DisneylandTraveler himself turns 56 in about 11 days. Much of my life can be traced through visits to Walt's park.

Below is the dedication plaque as it sits today beneath the flagpole.
