Welcome to the Happiest Place on Earth!  That’s right!  On this date in 1955, Disneyland officially opened.  Walt Disney himself dedicated it, and television covered it extensively.  It changed theme parks as we know it.  It still remains the original park that continues to have success.  My daughter and I are planning a Disney Cruise next year, and so this coincides well.  This was the biggest broadcast to that date of any event!

 To All Who Come To This Happy Place, Welcome...
