HAPPY 55th BIRTHDAY DISNEYLAND and THANK YOU Walt!
Now here's something to get stirred up about. Do you know what day this is? Oh sure, it's Saturday, but you don't get any points for that... more importantly it's the 55th Anniversary of when DISNEYLAND opened! YEAH WALT! YEAH MICKEY MOUSE! Sorry Orange Trees!
You can find a nice little "condensed version" here, DISNEYLAND and if you scroll down, a little more about the new attraction at DCA, World of Color. I knew this was coming and recently 
treated myself to the Limited Edition set of WALT DISNEY TREASURES - DISNEYLAND. It's a two DVD set including the first ABC broadcast of DISNEYLAND (the TV series) which later became the Wonderful World of Color, the Opening Day 90 minute telecast, and a whole lot of pre-opening and development film footage. (Yes, I'm spoiled - but oh so knowledgeable!)
Well, I don't see any way to top this news, other than to mention that come September, yours truly will be back in SoCal and back for a real close up and personal visit the the Magic Kingdom myself. It's turning into a real jam packed saturation experience which I'm really looking forward to, and will fill you in further as time goes by.
Another boat is about to finish the Vic-Maui Race, so I'm off to great the Sailors!
"To all who come to this happy place: - Welcome - Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past ... and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams, and the hard facts that have created America ... with the hope that it will be a source of joy
and inspiration to all the world." — Walter E. Disney
