Art Linkletter:This is not so much a show, as it is a special event. The rehearsal went about the way you'd expect a rehearsal to go if you were covering three volcanoes all erupting at the same time, and you didn't expect any of them. So, from time to time, if I say...See more »

Anyone who's visited any of the Disneyland parks around the world, will know Walt's famous dedication; "To all who come to this happy place, welcome...", and in this programme, you can see and hear the original reading of this dedication speech by Walt Disney.
This shows how it all began back in 1955 when one man's dream became reality. This is a fantastic programme showing the opening day of Disneyland, and the beginning of the world's favourite theme park. I've visited the Disneyland Resort in Paris several times, and this programme contains all of the magic which can be felt in the park. Watch this, it's simply fantastic.
