The world's first fully-themed amusement park, Disneyland, opened to droves of visitors from around the world on Sunday, July 17th, 1955...and changed the world of entertainment forever. This video explores the incredible story of how Walt Disney dreamed up his park, and how he willed it into being.

DISCLAIMER: I am not a University-educated historian, Alex the Historian was a nickname I got while working at Disneyland as a tour guide. After 6 years of using it as a stage name for my channel, it would be detrimental to the channel to suddenly change the name.
