Colour footage of Disneyland, 1956

‘Shot by my grandfather a year after the California theme park opened. It was quite a surprise seeing my grandmother meeting Walt Disney himself! As someone who never really knew his grandfather; these reels of film have really let me feel related to him and the rest of my family, too.’

    Thanks for sharing this peek into the past. I also prefered the music in the second video. It seemed less intrusive on the images for some reason.
