Today starts a
new day in
family entertainment.
Walt Disney's
pie in the sky opened its
gates and let people across the
drawbridge of
Sleeping Beauty's Castle and into the
Magic Kingdom he calls
Disneyland. At 17 million
USD, Disney's folly is almost 100% over
budget, but the
massive crowds bode
good things for this place.
The discerning eye spotted movie star Ronald Reagan in the crowd, as well as the Governor of California. Despite having only 15,000 people invited, an amazing 28,154 people were let in.
