WALT DISNEY -- Walt Disney "meets" some residents of the 'it’s a small world' attraction at Disneyland in California, during construction in May, 1966. One of the most popular Disney attractions of all time, the show is a fun-filled and whimsical salute to the children of the world that conveys its message of peace and harmony through the international language of music.
MAD TEA PARTY (1966) -- This opening day attraction, based on a scene in "Alice in Wonderland," spins Disneyland guests in giant teacups. Pictured here at its original location, it was moved near the Matterhorn in 1983 during the construction of the new Fantasyland.
SLEEPING BEAUTY CASTLE UNDER CONSTRUCTION (1955) – Two months before she "awoke" to opening day visitors, this Disneyland landmark was getting a few final touches from construction workers. Walt Disney wanted this castle to be a friendly and welcoming presence in his park so it was built on a smaller scale than its European counterparts.
