Happy Birthday Disneyland

Thank you WALT. What was just simply roaming thoughts sitting on a bench watching your daughters go round and round became the icon and landmark for 'The Happiest Place on Earth'. For 56 years now, your gates have been opened, the tickets have been sold, the picture in front of the mouse have been taken, a short walk through the tunnel and disbelief is suspended.

There are many sites on the Internet to see pictures and read stories and enjoys other fans company. I hope each of you enjoy whatever remembrance you have planed either at the park or just in your minds. Remember the happy times, the wonderful experiences, the moments of pride in nation and the realization of times past were no different that times present nor times future; to smile with your heart is the true blessing Walt left for us all.

So well said. It is amazing to think of that idea, blooming into what we all have loved and cared for all these years.I hope you got to see Disney History Institute blog. He had amazing photos of Walt hourly. Also, the Howard Johnson Mattercam is also showing the nightly fireworks lately.

Thank you all for the kind words. @Momma Nic, indeed, I do follow that blog and I found that series amazingly well done and a few of those pictures of Walt were indeed new to me. Very enjoyable.
I have not as of yet had a chance to see the fireworks via the HoJo's Mattercam. (see>>
