Located in Anaheim, California, Disneyland has attracted millions of people from all around the world and is one of the largest amusement parks in history. It opened on July 17, 1955, at the height of the Leave It To Beaver era. That’s no small wonder since, to many people, Disneyland represents just that: A throwback to the halcyon days of innocents and puritanism.
Disneyland was renamed Disneyland Park in 1998. The company now has three other locations worldwide: Disneyland Resort Paris, Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, and Tokyo Disneyland.
Disneyland has been called Magic Kingdom and has been instrumental in turning fantasy into reality for millions of tourists from every corner of the globe. The park cost $17 million to build and was operational within one year of its groundbreaking. It is now a regular part of the American conscience and an embed of U.S. culture. Go Disney!
