Disneyland picture guide from 1955; published by American Souvenir Company for Walt Disney Production
DISNEYLAND is Walt Disney’s dream of twenty years brought to life. It is Walt Disney’s magic kingdom which has been opened to the public on July 18th, 1955, at an estimated cost of $17,000,000.
Mainstreet itself is a replica of a typical street of a small town in the United States about 1900.
Coming to the Railroad Station, from which all DISNEYLAND traffic stems the Town Square gets first attention. To the right is the Opera House, and across the Square is the City Hall. The Fire Station houses a horse-drawn hose and chemical wagon.
Looking at Mainstreet, the Emporium is busy with shappers, customers transact business at the Bank of America, a photo shop, meat market, drug store, and many other stores are located on Mainstreet.
At the end of Mainstreet is the Plaza, DISNEYLAND’s hub from which any of the Lands may be entered.
At the right is Tomorrowland, where a swift time transition takes place, and the calendar rolls ahead to 1986.
The next land is Fantasyland, rising above the medieval battlements of moat and draw-bridge.
Sleeping Beauty’s Castle guards the entrance to the illusive Land of Fantasy.
Next to Fantasyland, beginning at Plymouth Rock and following Americans on their westward march, is entered through a log stockade. It is to Frontierland that the MARK TWAIN docks bringing with it the romance of early river boats.
Last of the Lands is Adventureland, which is entered through a Tahitian Village.
