Disneyland

[|Disneyland (1955)]
Disneyland opened on July 21st, 1954. Walt Disney hired a team of researchers to find out where the best place to build the theme park would be. They decided that Anaheim, California was the spot! It was developed by Walt Disney and based around his cartoon characters. It was designated as a place for family entertainment. It was constructed for about 17.5 million dollars! An interesting and little-known fact is that although Disney forbade the serving of alcoholic beverages in Disneyland, he had a private suite in the park where bartenders would serve drinks to his personal guests.
