Disneyland, Circa 1955
The Disneyland theme park located in Anaheim, California opened its doors on July 17, 1955. It was the only park whose design and construction was overseen by Walt Disney himself. The animation legend was allegedly inspired by the Los Angeles-based Griffith Park. He wanted to make families happy and this was how the most magical place on earth came to be. The original park was constructed in just a year and Disney created a series for ABC to help fund it.

We daresay that the magic has not declined at all since it opened in 1955. It is now larger and more popular than ever before. There have been many changes over the years, though the vision is still alive and well. Around 44,000 people visit this particular park every single day!
