King Mohammad V transitioned his title from Sultan to King after gaining his country independence from France. He toured the US in 1957 to strengthen diplomatic ties. He visited Disneyland with his daughter Princess Lalla Amina on December 2, 1957. Here’s some bonus photos from other sources. 3/3

Randomly came across Disney artist Frans Van Lamsweerde in one of those posts that casually boasts, “My father was an artist at Disney.” And my follow up, “What was his name?” Then the unfamiliar name, followed by a Google search. And then, “Holy Cow!” Pictured here are his private Christmas cards.

Happy 70th Anniversary, Disneyland! ✨ Julie Andrews once said that Disneyland was "Walt's gift to a weary world," and I believe that is more true now than ever. The world changes - even Walt's small park has and will continue to change - yet Disneyland remains a stalwart beacon of joy and optimism.

It is my understanding that is has already been protected by the LA Conservancy. However, it is a residence and 9 apartments and from what I have gathered there are existing tenants so that would provide incentive to keep it as is and further complications for any change. All good things!

I believe you are correct! Found a few photos from Aaron Goldberg’s book on Disneyland’s opening day and from everything you can see I would say it looks smoother than decomposed granite but it is really hard to tell. It seems like a big risk even if it was just for a short time.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.
