Since I am very knowledgeable about Disneyland, I like to share some interesting facts about the park.
1.) Openning day in 1955 was a disaster. The pavement was still wet and temperature was over 100 degrees. The water fountations weren't working and several rides shut down to maintence problems. Some thought that the park wouldn't make it and close after only one year.
2.) There is no gum sold in the park because Walt Disney did not want gum to be spit on the ground in the park
3.) The bricks on the castle get smaller as they get higher to make the castle look taller
4.) Each land has a different style trash can
5.) Matterhorn has a half sized basketball court and mini pool inside
6.) Walt Disney used in live in the Mainstreet Firehouse. The light is left on today in his remembrance
7.) The Snow White and Seven Dwarfs statues by the wishing well are the same height. Walt just put Snow White higher on the hill to make her look taller.
8.) There are several hidden mickeys located in the rides and other attractions around the resort. You can purchase a Hidden Mickey Book for clues where the mickeys are hidden.
9.) Tomorrowland is set to represent the future as the perceived it would look like in 1986, the year of Hailey's Comet.
10.) Club 33 is a private club above Blue Bayou Restaurant in New Orleans Square. It takes years on the waiting list to get in the club and it is the only place that serves alcohol in the park.
11.) Once inside the park, you can not see the outside world. You are away from the stresses of life.
