35 Years of Magic Disneyland

Souvenir pop-up map commemorating 35 years of Disneyland.

After visiting amusement parks with his daughter, Walt Disney had an idea for an attraction adjacent to his movie studios in Burbank to entertain visiting fans. He soon realized that the proposed site was too small, and instead bought 160 acres of land near Anaheim, California in 1953. Just two years later, Disneyland opened to international press and acclaim.

Step into the ‘Happiest Place on Earth’ with this fun pop-up map, published in 1990 by Walt Disney Productions to celebrate the park’s 35th year of operation. Iconic attractions like Cinderella’s Castle, the Haunted Mansion, Space Mountain, and the Matterhorn Bobsleds literally jump off the page!
