17 July 1955 - WALT DISNEY OPENS A NEW THEME PARK IN ANAHEIM,
CALIFORNIA: Animation mogul Walt Disney introduces Disneyland, his new
theme park, to a live TV audience and 28,000 people in attendance,
however, the opening will be tarnished by scores of technical glitches.
Disneyland would open to the public the following day.

it was the first theme park opened by The Walt Disney Company and the
only one designed and constructed under the direct supervision of Walt
Disney. Disney initially envisioned building a tourist attraction
adjacent to his studios in Burbank to entertain fans who wished to
visit; however, he soon realized that the proposed site was too small
for the ideas that he had. After hiring the Stanford Research Institute
to perform a feasibility study determining an appropriate site for his
project, Disney bought a 160-acre (65 ha) site near Anaheim in 1953. The
park was designed by a creative team hand-picked by Walt from internal
and outside talent. They founded WED Enterprises, the precursor to
today's Walt Disney Imagineering. Construction began in 1954 and the
park was unveiled during a special televised press event on the ABC
Television Network on July 17, 1955. Since its opening, Disneyland has
undergone expansions and major renovations, including the addition of
New Orleans Square in 1966, Bear Country in 1972, Mickey's Toontown in
1993, and Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge in 2019. Additionally, Disney
California Adventure Park opened in 2001 on the site of Disneyland's
original parking lot.
