Happy Golden Anniversary, Disneyland!

Walt and Mickey Immortalized in Bronze

Fifty years ago, when I was just three years old, my family got on a Great Northern Train in Spokane, Washington and headed to Detroit to pick up a brand new 1955 Chrysler New Yorker. It marked the first leg of a glorious six week long road trip on which my parents, brother, sister and I toured the USA. The highlight of the trip, for me and my siblings was Disneyland, which had just opened.

I vividly remember the Jungle Boat ride, the Cup and Saucer ride, Sleeping Beauty's Castle and the Dumbo ride. Over the years I've been back many times and we were able to take our own two kids when they were small.

What incredible memories Walt Disney created for so many kids of all ages. Happiest of birthdays, Disneyland!
