If there is one place we all wish to go before we die it would be Disneyland. No matter how old or young you are Disneyland welcomes you all. It was on 18th July1955 that Walt Disney started this theme park. He sought an expert Harrison Price from Stanford Research Institute to build the park and bought a land of 160 acres from Anaheim, California in 1954 and under a budget of $17 million it was finished and opened for public after one year. Within the years, the park was an immediate success attracting many visitors from all over the world. In 1990s the Disneyland theme park was converted into Disneyland Resort with addition of many new attractions.
For its 50th anniversary which was named as the "Happiest Homecoming on Earth" many sites in Disneyland went under construction including Space Mountain, Jungle Cruise, the Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room. The original park consisted of 5 theme areas that included Main Street, U.S.A., Adventureland, Frontierland, Fantasyland and Tomorrowland. Since then there have been many new additions to the park. New Orleans Square was added in 1966 while Bear Country which was latter renamed as Critter Country was created in 1972. In 1993, Mickey's Toontown was added. Currently there are eight theme areas in Disneyland now.
Main Street U.S.A. is depicts a typical 20th century town and the first area visitors get to see. Then there's the magic kingdom with Sleeping Beauty's castle at the centre of it. The castle also acts as an entrance to Fantasyland. Disney Art Gallery and the Opera House is also seen in Main Street U.S.A. Critter Country which was also known to be Bear Country was a former Indian Village but today it is seen as the area of Splash Mountain with a log flume journey. Adventureland is full of fun items like opening day's Jungle Cruise, the "Temple of the Forbidden Eye" in Indiana Jones Adventure, Tarzan's Tree house and Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room. Fantasyland is a place where you get your childhood dreams come true like Peter Pan's Flight, walk-through story telling of Sleeping Beauty and "Believe, There's Magic in the Stars" fireworks.
"Tomorrow can be a wonderful age. Our scientists today are opening the doors of the Space Age to achievements that will benefit our children and generations to come. The Tomorrowland attractions have been designed to give you an opportunity to participate in adventures that are a living blueprint of our future." These are the words of Walt Disney for Tomorrowland which includes Space Mountain, Innoventions, Captain EO Tribute, Autopia, the Disneyland Monorail Tomorrowland Station, the Astro Orbitor and Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters.
