Building Walt’s Dream – Time Lapse Film Footage of Disneyland’s Construction
If you are a Disneyland fanatic such as myself, then you are going to absolutely love recent film footage that has been released of Disneyland’s construction in 1954-55. This never-before-seen footage was sitting on a shelf all these years and only saved by a curious employee.
Using time-lapse and traditional eye-in-the-sky photography, this is a dazzling piece of history, presenting how the fearless construction crews had Disneyland up and running in just under a year.
Disneyland Turns 54 Years Old Today – Happy Birthday!
Fifty four years ago today, Disneyland opened its gates to the public for the first time.

California Adventure’s “World of Color” Details Emerge
Disney officials are proudly proclaiming that the upcoming World of Color water show at Disney’s California Adventure will far surpass Disneyland’s Fantasmic and Epcot’s Illuminations in magnitude, creativity and technical wizardry.

The new attraction is scheduled to debut in Spring 2010.

The Future Home of Cars Land in California Adventure
Disney’s California Adventure is quite a mess right now with construction projects going on everywhere. One of those projects is Cars Land, a new area within the park that will be themed after the Disney/Pixar animated movie – Cars.
