Correct Answer: 1955
The answer is: 1955. On a sweltering day in July of 1955, Disneyland first opened its gates. And while much has changed, much has also stayed the same. As Walt often quipped, Disneyland will never be finished, even nearly 70 years later.Walt Disney also gave one of his best speeches, despite the fact that water fountains weren't working and keynote speakers were showing up late and drunk. “To all who come to this happy place: welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past, and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams, and the hard facts that have created America, with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world.”Source
