Fabulous world of make-believe is magnet for children from 6 to 96
A MAGIC kingdom — here every kid’s dreams come to life — is Disneyland, Walt Disney’s 160-acre amusement park just a 15-minute drive from Los Angeles.
Disneyland is divided into four realms: Tomorrowland — a glimpse into life in 1996, including a round-trip rocket “ride” to the moon; Adventureland — where Disney exhibits his “wonderland of Nature’s own design”; Fantasyland — the world of Sleeping Beauty, Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and many other denizens of Disney’s cartoons; and Frontierland — through the gates of an old log fort and into the old West.
Built at a cost of $17,000,000, Disneyland opened in July. Five million visitors are expected to spend $18,000,000 this year, finding, in Disney’s words, “happiness and knowledge" in the big playground that is for him a 20-year dream come true.
