A personal exploration of Disney media along with the chronicling of my many trips to Disneyland through the years. And while this is primarily a Disney and Disneyland blog, along the way I occasionally contribute writings on some other pop culture and media topics just for the fun of it. There are almost 800 posts to this blog. Click through the Archives and I hope you have a good time. Enjoy The Disneyland Traveler Blog (completely without ads or annoying attempts to sell you anything).

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.
