On July 17, 1955, Walt Disney opened the gates to Disneyland for the first time. Decades have passed since then but none of the magic has faded, as Disneyland continues to enchant guests of all ages.

1. i've never been to Disneyland, but I have visisted.....

Disneyworld in Florida. I spent 3 days, and I honestly didn't have a good time. I just didn't get all the hoopla about it. Well that's just me.

3. I've been to Disneyland twice

The first time in 78' when I was about 7 and the second time in 01' when I was 30. It is become so expensive now from what I've heard.

2. I was there the first year they opened

Lived not far from Anaheim and remember it well. It was thrilling for an 8 year old. Went at least once a year until I left CA in 1972. Every time relatives came to visit we went I always said Disneyland and San Diego zoo were the very best things about CA, maybe the only good things..............

4. Have been to Disneyland (Anahiem, CA) literally hundreds of times; Disney World only once.

Used to belong to Club 33, an Unbelievable place in the French Quarter!

Love Disneyland, but did not like Disney World because we were there at the beginning of July and the humidity and bugs drove me nuts. I am allergic to just about every bug which decided to dine on me!

9. Do you remember the monte cristo sandwiches

that they served in the FQ? Delish!

5. We took the kids once but it was so expensive and they didn't have

much fun. Well our youngest like it most. She didn't seem to mind waiting in line.

6. Both me and Disneyland "premiered" on the same day/same year.

Called to see if they had some kind of special deal but nope, I would have had to pay just like everyone else. We went to Cambria instead and had a nice bd lunch.

8. Can you believe it's about $100 per person to get in now??

7. July 17, 1955

I was born exactly 4 months later. We lived in OC, and my dad had a second job at D-land when it first opened. He was an operator on the put-put cars (can't recall the real name).

Thanks for the memories!
