Celebrating 50 Years of Magical Memories
July 15 - 17, 2005
Disneyland® Resort

It's not just another walk in the Park!

Journey back with us, to a time when this magical place was only a reality in the mind of one man who had a vision of a place where friends and family could join together to share magical moments filled with fun and laughter. Stroll with us down a country lane that leads to a fragrant orange groves, far from the glitter and bustle of 50s Hollywood, that will soon undergo a remarkable transformation.

Do you too dream of going home to Main Street, discovering castles and exploring jungles, soaring into space aboard rocket ships and riding trains through cowboy towns? Then we entreat you to join us for a fabulous, joyous celebration…a fun filled, enlightening, nostalgic and magical trip back to when it was all just a dream and then wondrously became a reality. Come take a memory filled walk back through Walt's original Park…
his first Magic Kingdom.

DLR Surprise Pin Released Today!!
Surprise Pin - Original Attraction 2005 - Peter Pan's Flight

Fly away to Never Land with this Limited Edition Surprise Pin! This pin-on-pin celebrates one of the original Disneyland® Park attractions - Peter Pan's Flight. Huey, Dewey and Louie are flying away with Peter Pan. The dangle on this pin says "Original Attraction," which means it opened on July 17, 1955.

While Peter Pan's Flight opened in 1955, it was redesigned with the opening of new Fantasyland in 1983. The attraction is different because the vehicles are suspended from an overhead rail, giving Guests the feeling of flying through the evening skies over London and Never Land.

This pin was released at the Emporium!!
