Six decades of Disneyland: new book’s beautiful 1950s photos show Walt Disney as the park first opened

Walt Disney’s Disneyland is a visual history of the park showing not just the rides and the crowds, but also Walt Disney himself as he launched the park in 1955.

One photo shows children running from the famous Cinderella Castle on the day that the park opened for the very first time.

Another shows Walt in 1954 pointing at a map of the theme park that would become the most famous on the planet.

The book shows off photos of the California park across six decades, with glimpses into the past that will delight.

Walt Disney’s Disneyland by Chris Nichols comes out next month and is published by Taschen.
