Disneyland in Anaheim, Orange County in California to the north east of Los Angeles was thought of, designed and built under the supervision of the famous Walt Disney. It was finally finished and opened to the public on 18th July 1955. In fact it was during a visit to the Griffith Park with his two daughters whom he watched as they were on the merry-go-round. It was then he felt that he would love to create a place where both parents and children could enjoy themselves together.
Ever since it has remained at the top of the list of family entertainment parks and has something to offer for people ranging from the tiny tots to adults alike. Walt Disney's main objective when he conjured up this fantastic place was that it should the "Happiest Place on Earth". But the fact remains his idea of a small theme park escalated into a really vast one that was in time to become what is today Disneyland.
For want of funds Walt Disney signed a partnership with ABC Television Network where he said he would create a children's show called Disneyland in exchange for a partial funding of the park by ABC Network. The other company that funded the project was Western Publishing Company. Of course in a matter of five years Disney bought over the shares from ABC Network of the project. He was able to get enough funds to carry out his dream project which stated construction in 1954 and was open toed to the world exactly one year later in the July of 1955.
Unfortunately the opening day which was officially the 17th July 1955 was a fiasco with the temperature rising to an unusual high making people ever so thirsty. The selling of counterfeit tickets and invitations created mayhem that day resulting in a terrible press report of the opening. This was why it was referred to as Black Sunday. Walt Disney re-invited and opened the place again on 18th July which he officially declared was the date that it was open to the people at large. Despite the fiasco Walt Disney sprang back to become the most widely known landmark in the united States even to this very day. Disneyland became so popular that many other parks have been constructed like the Disney world in Florida, Disneyland in Japan, China and Paris.
A visit to Disneyland which was later renamed Disneyland Park is any child's fervent dream and has become the hot spot visiting theme park the world over. It is not just an entertainment center, it is a theme park that that a variety of theme shows, a lot of fairytale characters walking around the streets, special tours, movie houses, movie sets where many well known movies have been filmed, a wide variety of rides, games and plenty of restaurants that offer a wide variety of fare.
Everyone knows Mickey Mouse the cartoon character that was created by Walt Disney in 1928 and is one of the most unique figures with its huge black ears and nose wearing red shorts adorned with white buttons and big yellow boots. In fact it is Mickey's ears and nose that is the famous logo of the Walt Disney Company. It's exciting to see Mickey Mouse walking and talking to people who visit Disneyland and children feel so thrilled that they have come face to face with him.
