My first Disney vacation was not with my brother, but my first Disney vacation with my brother will always be close to my heart and will always hold a special time for me that memory won’t dim. From the time we got off the tram and walked Main Street, U.S.A. I started filling his head with all the facts I thought were intriguing. I began by pointing out the light in the window above the fire station, a small apartment where the Disney family stayed while in Anaheim, California. Sleeping Beauty’s Castle I pointed out, was only seventy-seven feet tall, and only appeared taller because of Disney Imagineering and a technique called Atmospheric Perspective; using pink hues near the bottom and light blue near the top to blend the castle towers with the skies. Inside Sleeping Beauty’s Castle is a hidden attraction, which tells the story of Sleeping Beauty.
I remember standing outside the gates of Disneyland Park for our first family photo alongside my brother. The giant floral Mickey Mouse in the background, with the train station just behind Mickey. The flower bed which makes up the image of Mickey Mouse is replenished six times a year with extra attention given during the Halloween and Christmas seasons. The display has been part of the Disney landscape since the 1950s. If you listen attentively, you can hear Morse code coming from the train station which spells out the beginning of Walt Disney’s opening speech; “To all who come to Disneyland, welcome. Here age relives fond memories of the past, and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future.”
The Grand California Hotel and Spa is the first domestic hotel built inside a theme park. The hotel first opened in 1955 and was owned by Jack Wrather who was licensed by Walt Disney to operate the Hotel. In 1988 Disney acquired ownership of the property, which can be found at the edge of Disney Adventure Park, near Grizzly Peak, Grizzly River Run and Soarin’ Around the World, where there is a secret guest-only entrance. Disneyland does not sell chewing gum anywhere on their property because Walt Disney made it a rule to ensure the Disneyland stayed clean for all their guests.
