July 17, 1955

According to our local newspaper DisneyLand opened on July 17, 1955. So that would make today the 51st Anniversary of DL.

Wow! How many other modern-day attractions can boast that accomplishment.

Good job, Walt!

Re: July 17, 1955

What a coincidence...cause today is also exactly one day shy of 2 months after my birthday... I wonder if that was Walt's plan all along?

Dew! I didn't know you were 51 and 2 months! Ya don't look a day over 30

Garsh - you know all day today I kept thinking - "there's something familiar about this date...." and couldn't place it. Wish I'd remembered earlier, I'd have celebrated somehow.

Happy 51st to DL! May we live to see another 51.
