Happy happy birthday from all of us to you
Happy happy birthday may all your dreams come true!

So, I was at a wedding yesterday and the grooms grandpa looked remarkably like Walt Disney. He ended up coming over to my table and sitting down for a while (told the relatives he got lost with a wink) and he was really nice and funny. I was doing a little happy dance in my head because I can't be there today, but it almost felt like my very own lunch with walt.

Thanks for risking everything on us Walt....it was well worth the gamble....Disneyland and the parks that have followed have and will continue to bring joy to all the people of the world. If a piece of property or an idea could be eligible for a Peace Prize, Disneyland would be a easy choice. Happy Birthday Disneyland!

Happy Birthday to my favorite place on earth. Congratulations on all of your successes, and my your future hold 50 more years of magic and memories for all who enter your gates. And thanks, Walt.

You don't know how much I wish I were there for the 50th!
I went on a press visit to Disneyland with a reporter from the Garden Grove Daily News (bought by OC Register) around the 5th or 6th of July 1955 (I forget - I was only 6).

I have a digital copy of the original full-page article (with pictures);
If anyone would like to see it - I'd be happy to email it to you. The following link is to a copy of just the text written by the reporter, Dixon Geyer that appeared in the daily paper of Cal State Long Beach:

I can't believe I REALLY said Disneyland was 'swell', though.
