Wordless Wednesday - December 4, 2012 - Walt Disney

Disney Gal Judy:

Since today is Walt Disney's birthday my husband and I took a ride last night to take this photo of Walt Disney's birth place, although it may not look like it did in 1901 when he was born, it still does exist.  When he was born it was 1249 Tripp Avenue, in 1909, the address of the house changed to 2156 North Tripp Avenue, he was born on the second floor, in the home that his father built.

Disneyland Fun Facts

In honor of Labor Day, I thought it would be fun to look at some of the behind the scenes “secrets” that make Disneyland the magical place “Where you leave the world of today and enter the world of yesterday, today and fantasy.”  In talking about the beginnings of Disneyland Resort, Walt would recount, “I first saw the site for Disneyland back in 1953. In those days it was all flat- no rivers, no mountains, no castles or rocket ships-just orange groves and a few acres of walnut trees….We believed in our idea-a family park where parents and children could have fun together.  Disneyland is a show…the star, everything else is the supporting role. Disneyland will never be completed.  It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.”  Here are some secrets, fun facts and even some pieces of trivia about the “Happiest Place.”
