Walt Disney's Disneyland: The Greatest Place on Earth!

Disneyland Amusement Park, also known as The Magic Kingdom and one of the most famous places on Earth, is located in Anaheim, California next to Disney's California Adventure Park. www disneyland.com is its official homepage. Disneyland opened to the public on July 17, 1955 and has since had over 515 million patrons.

Walt Disney and his brother, Roy Disney, dreamed of a permanent family fun park unlike the roaming carnivals of the day. Walt Disney's original concept was a Mickey Mouse Park that grew into an idea that is today comprised of eight distinct "lands". At the end of Walt Disney's life he dreamed even bigger and started work on Disney World.

"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, 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, July 17, 1955

Main Street, U.S.A, everyone's hometown as Walt Disney liked to say, welcomes you to the magical world of Disneyland. Walt Disney loved trains and The Disneyland Railroad is the first ride you see when entering Disneyland. The Railroad was open on the first day the park opened, July 17, 1955. The train can take you on a 1.5 mile loop through Frontierland, Toontown and Tomorrowland.
