Walt’s Original Park

Opened in 1955, Disneyland Park was Walt Disney’s pioneering vision, the first theme park designed for families to experience together. He meticulously oversaw its creation, ensuring each themed land—from the nostalgic Main Street, U.S.A. to the futuristic Tomorrowland—told a unique story. Walt’s park was built on innovation, offering immersive attractions and a level of detail previously unseen, establishing the benchmark for theme park entertainment and a lasting legacy of imagination. Now celebrating a 70-year legacy, you can walk where Walt walked and experience history like never before!

Be sure to checkout Walt’s apartment located directly above the fire department. You’ll notice the light – which was always turned on when Walt was in the park, and now permanently stays on signifying Walt is always with us.

Casey is THE person to go to when planning your Disney vacation. My fiance and I planned a last-minute trip to Disneyland. Casey made the entire process easy. He was always quick to answer our questions and answer the phone. He was also very patient with us as our plans were a bit up in the air. There was no pressure, and helped us find the best options for our trip. I would not go with any other Disney vacation planner.”

Just back from a second trip Casey helped make happen. He was so easy to work with and looked at multiple options for me for both trips. I will definitely use his services in the future.”

Casey is one of the most passionate Disney experts I have ever met. In fact, my nickname for him is Elias (as in Walter Elias Disney). Don’t blame me if you don’t use him and your Disney vacation isn’t perfect!”
