fun together. The more Walt dreamed of a "magical park," the more imaginative and elaborate it became.
The original plans for the park were on 8 acres next to the Burbank studios where his employees and
families could go to relax. Although, World War II put those plans on hold. During the war, Disney had
time to come up with new ideas, and creations for his magical park. It was soon clear that 8 acres
wouldn't be enough.
Finally in 1953, he had the Stanford Research Institute conduct a survey for a 100-acre site, outside
of Los Angeles. He needed space to build rivers, waterfalls, and mountains; he would have flying
elephants and giant teacups; a fairy-tale castle, moon rockets, and a scenic railway; all inside a magic
kingdom he called "Disneyland."
The search for the best venue for the park ended in the rural Anaheim, California with a purchase of a
160-acre orange grove near the junction of the Santa Ana Freeway (I-5) and Harbor Boulevard.
Construction for Disneyland began on July 21, 1954, 12 months before the park was scheduled to
open.
Some 160-acres of citrus trees had been cleared and 15 houses moved to make room for the park.
However, when the real designing came around, Disney met with inevitable questions. How do you make believable wild animals, that aren't real? How do you make a Mississippi paddle ship? How do you go
about building a huge castle in the middle of Anaheim, California? Disney asked his movie studio staff for
answers. The design of Disneyland was something never done before. There would be four uniquely
different theme parts: Adventure land , Frontier land , Fantasyland Tomorrow land. Bit by bit, Disneyland
got ready for Opening Day. The staff worked around the clock to get ready.
But opening day was a terrible disaster. Beside the terrible opening day conditions, the park did
eventually pick up. By 1965, ten years after opening day, 50 Million visitors had come through the gates.
