Shares the Story How he and Walt Disney found the property for Disneyland
Keith Murdoch, the City Manager of Anaheim in 1955, tells the story of how in October of 1953
Anaheim was being considered as the location for a new theme park called “Disneyland.”
When looking at the big map of Anaheim that was on his office wall, Keith noticed the chosen location for Disneyland had a road, Cerritos Street, which ran all the way from Harbor Boulevard, clear to the ocean - straight through the middle of the proposed Park.
City streets had been closed for beneficial purposes, but the
Disneyland property was still on unincorporated land.
Keith started going through the law books and checking out the codes to find out how
to close a street in an unincorporated territory. It might be some what of a challenge, yet it was possible.
On August 6th, 1970, Disneyland, the famous Disneyland park founded by Walt Disney, was not the “The Happiest Place on Earth” when it was invaded by Yippies.
Disney prepared for the oncoming asking the Orange County Police Department to be on hand. When the officers showed up before the park opening, they were decked out in full riot gear.
On this dvd you can see one of the largest collection of images of that day ever seen by the public.
