It's amazing how the park has changed in the decades since it opened, isn't it?

Thanks for posting!! That was great!! I was also thinking how many things still remain from 1957. Main Street looks so similar, and the Canal Boats & Casey Jr.

I showed it to my hubby, and the horse back rides amazed him. He had no idea they had those!

I saw the little girl in the first couple minutes and got to thinking. My mom was about that age in 1957.

My first time at Disneyland was in 1990 and even though things had changed between 57 and 90 that video reminds me of the first time I went. Everything just looked so new and beautiful and it really was a magical place.

That was really cool!

I loved all the exhausted, little kids sleeping in their strollers. 50+ years of Disney Magic at it's best. I also liked seeing what the people had with them. It seemed like ladies carried their handbags and that was it. I wish I could do that. Someday, I'd love to go and come without a diaper bag, fanny pack, camera bag, and 75 souvenir bags.

In full sun! Long before we knew about skin cancer

Fantastic! I am not old enough to remember Disneyland like that, however, I saw a few items that were still around when I was a kid. This kind of stuff fascinates me.

Thanks so much for sharing that video. It reminds me of the slides from my first visit to Disneyland in 1969 when I was 6. Lots of things have changed, but the Disney magic is still the same.

Very interesting to see the similarities and differences between now and the past.

Very nice video! I hadn't seen this one- the quality was amazing. I never did see the skyways. they were not around by the time I made my first trip there. The park always looked a little crowded (not with people, but just stuff) in the older videos, to me. Maybe because of the skyways?

That was great. Noticed a lot of scenes where today you'd see the Matterhorn in the background. Also at about 1:55 I could see the old Viewliner in the background.
