disneyland is your land...Disney had always thought about building a theme park during his career, especially after taking his daughter to a local amusement park. He wondered why these parks could not have rides and entertainment that was as enjoyable to adults as it was to children. Disney decided to make his visions a reality by creating a team of Imagineers to plan and build the park. His desire was to create a clean and environmental friendly establishment that welcomed people of all ages. Disneyland opened on July 17, 1955 and became a national phenomenon overnight.
