The Dream: Early Disneyland
History
 |
|
Disneyland in Florida,
US |
When asked how he got the idea for
Disneyland, Walt Disney once said he thought there should be a place for parents
and children to have fun together, but the real story is more complex.
In the early 1940s,
kids started asking to see where Mickey Mouse and Snow White lived. Disney
rejected a studio tour because he thought watching people making cartoons was
boring. Instead, he thought of building a character display beside the
studio. Artist-architect John Hench is quoted in the Disneyland News Media Source
Book: "I remember several Sundays seeing Walt across the street in a

weed-filled lot, standing, visualizing, all by himself."
The Source Book quotes Disney: "I
could never convince the financiers that Disneyland was feasible, because dreams
offer too little collateral." Undeterred, he borrowed against his life insurance
and sold his second house just to develop his idea to the point where he could
show others.
Studio employees worked
on the project, paid from Disney's personal funds. Art director Ken Anderson
said that Disney didn't remember to pay them every week, but he always made good
in the end, handing out crisp, new bills that he failed to count very
accurately.
Disneyland History:
Building
 |
|
Disneyland in
Tokyo | Disney and brother Roy mortgaged
everything they owned to raise $17 million to build Disneyland, but fell short.
ABC-TV stepped in, guaranteeing a $6 million loan in exchange for part ownership
and Disney's commitment to produce a weekly television show.
When the
City of Burbank denied a request to build near the studio, a crucial chapter in
Disneyland history began. Disney engaged Stanford Research Institute, who
identified Anaheim as the center of Southern California's future growth. Disney
bought 160 acres of Anaheim orange groves, and on May 1, 1954, construction
began toward an impossible deadline of July, 1955, when money would run out
Opening Day: the Blackest Sunday in Disneyland
History
 |
|
Disneyland in Hong
Kong
| On Sunday, July 17, 1955, invited guests arrived,
and 90 million watched via a live television broadcast. The day is still known
in Disney lore as "Black Sunday," and for good reason, as a guest list of 15,000
swelled to almost 30,000 attendees.
Disneyland History: Open to the
Public
The next day, 10,000 members of the general public
got their first peek. On the first day of its long history, Disneyland charged
visitors $1.00 admission ($6.70 in 2005 dollars) to get through the gate and see
three free attractions in four themed lands. Individual tickets for the 18 rides
cost 10 to 35 cents each.
Walt and his staff addressed the problems,
limiting daily attendance to 20,000 to avoid overcrowding. Within seven weeks,
the one-millionth guest passed through the gates.
