Smiles of American children lit up the atmosphere when Walt Disney made dreams and wishes come true on July 18, 1955. This is the exact date when Disneyland opened its doors to Disney fans, and everyone’s childhood has never been the same again. Just imagine how the first batch of Disneyland tickets sold like hotcakes on the park’s first run. It started with a big playground in Anaheim, CA until it branched out to other cities around the world like Tokyo, Paris and Hong Kong.
A Disneyland ticket is the start of something magical, taking guests to places within the park itself called Lands of Disneyland. Main Street, U.S.A. is reminiscent of a Victorian-era American village patterned after the spot where Walt Disney spent his childhood. Adventureland is the park’s version of the Asian and African jungles used as settings for movies such as the Indiana Jones series and Tarzan. New Orleans Square exudes a feel of the city during the 19th century with a showcase of popular characters such as those from Pirates of the Carribean and Haunted Mansion. Frontierland is Disneyland’s flag bearer in bringing the best of the wild wild West into the modern world. Fantasyland is home to Disney’s trademark fairy tales where castles and royalty can be found. Tomorrowland is for the future scientists and astronauts who want to test their skills through attractions inspired by spaceships, rockets and submarines.
