Oh my God when I hear Jimminy Cricket singing "when you wish upon a star" I get goose bumps!!

This is so cool! My dad was one of the construction workers! Thanks for sharing this with us! :-)

55+ years later, still real popular

It's a timeless classic.  As long as Disney doesn't screw it up it'll always be the happiest place on earth.

Damn I wish Disney Channel still did this.  :(

Gives me tears... so long ago and so many children had a Disneyland childhood - thanks to beloved Uncle Walt and his fantastic team of Imagineers !  Thanks Walt!

"We could go by car, of course.  It's a pleasant, 50-minute drive across town."  
Good ol' Uncle Walt forgot he was in L.A. again.

I remember the new stuff that Disneyland in the 1955's, Frontierland was a barren land, just like the badlands, and the old frontier..there was a smell and quality that has been in my heart and in my mind..I love it..open from 10.am untill 10..pm..closed on Mondays..

Hehe I have no idea how you could doubt the city hall was a skyscraper in 1955. GREAT video

Walt Disney talking like a Hippy, Priceless!
This is great Disneyland History, thanks!

R.I.P Walt Disney

You know what I realized in Iron Man 2 after watching this progress video of Disney World:
Howard Stark- Walt Disney
Stark Expo Opening- Disneyland
Stark Expo Progress report- This video!!!

I really appreciate you posting this--much obliged!

This is how I remember the org.park..

Maybe it was because of the fast workers, and slow eaters, or maybe it was the music and Walt's narration, or maybe both, but I just couldn't stop laughing and smiling at the construction footage.

really that's so cool

It's hard to believe that it was built in a year, and basically with no money. I can't imagine the pressure Walt must have felt during construction.

I love this show. Ferris Wheel for Worms :) Disney was hilarious!

very good

that is the coolest thing ever
