Photos: This is what Disneyland looked like when it was opened 70 years ago

Disneyland was invoiced as the “happiest place in the earth” and opened the birth of the modern themed park industry on July 17, 1955.

Walt Disney wanted to create a travel destination where both parents and children could have fun together – a clean room that brought families into elaborate topics, with attractions that were inspired by his stories and films.

Despite strong skepticism towards financial supporters and operational challenges in the change of 160 acres of Orangenhainen, Disney promoted the park by performing on a weekly television program and finally organizing a large opening live on ABC.

The entry prices for the opening day were 1 US dollar for adults and 50 cents for children. According to Don Munsil of Mousesavers.com, who pursues historical ticket prices, applies to every trip. Main Street USA, Adventureland, Frontierland, Fantasyland and Tomorrowland welcomed the guests to experience 20 attractions.

Today the original park has grown on more than 50 trips, shows and exhibits. A second park, Disney California Adventure, was added to the resort in 2001. With the plans that the property circles over the next few decades to expand its theme park, the company Walt Disney's saying includes: “Disneyland will never be complete. It will continue to grow as long as it is left.
