They should be playing this on a loop in the theatre on Main Street. I would stand there and watch the entire thing then go outside and see how much has changed.

So Cal native, here. Been going to Disneyland since the 70's. I. Love. This. Video.

Few strollers, no wheelchairs/scooters, people well dressed -- not like they're going to a beer-blast BBQ in the back yard.

That was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen

I was there then.....it was amazing beyond words. WOW. So glad I found this clip.

30 years later, those sideway hotels trams were still in use backstage to shuttle parade performers to/from step-off locations behind Small World and Main Street. They finally disappeared from sight around 1990.

This is a awesome video of Disneyland and it's history! Every Disneyland Fan should see this video its about a year after Disneyland opened in 1955! The aerial film over Disneyland is awesome to see!

This is the best thing on KZread. Period.

Note the amount of farmland around the park. Today there are fragmentary strawberry fields scattered around still selling their seasonal crops -- now the 6th generation farmers. So much has changed...

The reason for that is because they stopped building in open spaces and claimed it was because of the Environment. That has meant that they have had to build on existing developed land like farm land.

What a great film from Disneyland's early days. Thanks for sharing.

I've waited all my life to enjoy these films. Breathtakingly meaningful time in history.

Went with my family in 1955. Remembered almost all of it! Tom Sawyer Island was a favorite and Amazon jungle ride!!

I miss disneyland so much....

We need more videos of America's Favorite Family Fun Park Walley World

So many memories as child

I love that Walt did the Jungle Cruise skipper narration. Even tried to disguise his voice but it is clearly him!!!

Man, how much it has changed.

I miss the old day's on Disney Channel. When they always show old school Disney every late at night.

Disneyland USA - One of My Five Favorite Walt Disney Treasures

as neat as this was, Im glad the park has changed over time and we have more roller coasters.

I remember that they used to show these Disney films in school as late as the 1970s.

Not many know about the fact that you can go into the castle! Go through the draw bridge and turn left. You will see an open doorway, and when you enter, the stairs will take you up and through the castle to the other side. Kids love it!

re: the narrator Winston Hibler- I just read that when they were trying to cast HAL in 2001 A Space Odyssey, Kubrick specifically named Hibler's Disney narrations as an example of what he should sound like. P.S. I grew up in Fullerton CA in the 1970s, me and my friends used to ride our bikes to the Disneyland Hotel and hang out by the monorail station there, keeping an eye out for tourist kids who looked cool enough to let us copy their invisible ink handstamps to scam our way into the park for free.

I love how Walt Disney did the voice overs

Narrated by Winston Hibler. How do I know? I read the credits at the start of the film.

Great trip back!

This is amazing! Rainbow Ridge!

I love that people dressed up a little more to go to Disneyland!

Gotta love those narrator voices.. Good old days when theater actors were doing VO's.

RIP America

And you can see how space isn't so widely used back then. Many open spaces that today have been cramped with more attractions, kiosks, an of course, people. Foliage has taken over to hide much of what is meant to remain hidden and seems like safety wasn't as big a deal as it is today. No roped off areas or safety rails are as evident.

It's almost as if the population back then was less prone to crime, theft, violence, and vandalism than crowds today. I wonder why that is...

Has anyone seen Elysium? That's the future that's in store for Los Angeles.

32:37 Casey Jr!!!!!!! :D

horse-drawn cars, omnibuses ... finally something to get rid of those damn "A" tickets ..... !!

In that shootout, it is somewhat ruined with the forced perspective of the building up on the hill.

A docu in 16:9?? It should be on a 4:3 normal screen!

People of my generation weep over what we lost out on. The baby boomers lived in the greatest time America has ever know, in a matter of one or two generations this has been wiped out forever. Heart Breaking. Thank God for places like Disneyland where one can escape for a few glorious hours.

The real Disney

haha, Giraffes do have vocal cords, mister tour guide.

Well they had to change a lot cuz more Disney stuff came out like cars toy story n 100s more

And now they have closed one of the best original attractions there - The Jungle Cruise. I guess they got too many threats from PETA over the boat captains shooting at the hippos. Very sad indeed.

+Joe295398 I'm a pretty big Star Wars fan yet I highly agree with you! All these new companies that Disney is merging with is taking away what was once the magical nostalgic Disney awesomeness that I grew up with. This new land they're building will make Disney an even more crowded and hectic theme park -- and its bad even now. All about business and money is what it is.

The decline of the Disney Co. parallels the decline of America. We need to once again become a nation that's proud of its heritage, history, and birthright, not a nation obsessed with movies, comics, video games, other distractions, and political correctness.
