It’s hard to believe, but Disney is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year! Since opening its gates on July 17, 1955, Disneyland has been a beloved destination for families around the world. To celebrate this milestone, Little Explorers Family Travel is taking a look back at the history of this iconic theme park and what it has to offer for families today.
Disneyland was the brainchild of Walt Disney, who wanted to create a place where families could have fun and make memories together. He spent years planning and designing the park, and when it finally opened, it was an instant hit. Families flocked to Disneyland to ride the attractions, meet their favorite characters, and experience the magic of Disney.
Over the years, Disneyland has undergone numerous renovations and expansions to keep up with the times. Today, it’s a sprawling theme park with something for everyone in the family. Here are some of our favorite attractions at Disneyland:
- Fantasyland: This is the perfect land for young children and families who want to experience the classic Disney stories. Take a ride on Peter Pan’s Flight or go on a journey with Alice in Wonderland. Don’t forget to snap a photo with your favorite princesses!
- Tomorrowland: For families who love science fiction and space, Tomorrowland is a must-see. Take a ride on Space Mountain or experience Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, where you can fly the Millennium Falcon and build your own lightsaber.
- Adventureland: If you’re looking for excitement and thrills, Adventureland is the place to be. Take a ride on the Indiana Jones Adventure or go on a jungle cruise. You can also meet your favorite characters from The Lion King and Aladdin.
- Main Street, U.S.A.: This is where the magic begins. Take a stroll down Main Street and soak in the sights and sounds of Disneyland. You can also grab a snack or souvenir from one of the many shops and restaurants.
To celebrate Disney’s 100th anniversary, the park is hosting a series of special events and celebrations throughout the year. From fireworks shows to parades to special merchandise, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. We highly recommend that families plan ahead and book their tickets and accommodations early, as this is sure to be a popular year for Disneyland.
