SLEEPING BEAUTY CASTLE - Virtual View
Once upon a time … and ever after … Sleeping Beauty Castle has been the central landmark of Disneyland since Opening Day in 1955. This 360-degree view, taken from the eastern shore of the Castle moat, captures the beauty and tranquility of this real-world fairy tale, a structure that virtually defines "Disney Park."

Walt's Quote
   "I've always said that there will never be another Disneyland, and I think it's going to work out that way. But it will be the equivalent of Disneyland. We know the basic things that have family appeal. There are many ways that you can use those certain basic things and give them a new decor, a new treatment. This concept here will have to be something that is unique, so there is a distinction between Disneyland in California and whatever Disney does in Florida."

Disney's Hall Of Presidents By: Bill and Donna Posted On: 11/3/2009 After being closed from October 31st 2008 until July 4th 2009, the Hall of Presidents has been opened to showcase our current Commander-in-Chief, Barack Obama. Since its opening day, I have attended well over a dozen showings of the upgraded attraction; I am that impressed with the new show. But the closing of the Hall was not just to install a new President; it was also its first major makeover since 1993 after Bill Clinton was elected. As with all announced re-habs of classic Disney attractions, panic rears its ugly head for the Die-hard Disney fans and purists who fear that the flavor and intent of the original will be tampered with or so changed that it destroys what was originally intended.
