The Original '55

Here at DF'82, if there's one thing we almost as much as windows, it's plaques throughout the Disney park. So, to add to the never-ending collection, let's take some time to look at the plaque that, possibly, started it all.
The plaque at Disneyland, California, which reads:

Disneyland
To All Who Come To This Happy Place
WELCOME
Disneyland is your land.
Here age relives fond memories of the past. And here you may savor the challenge and promise of the future.
Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams and the hard facts that have created America. With the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world.
