Description
Disneyland Park, which opened in Anaheim, California on July 17, 1955, has
been a fixture of American culture for over sixty years. Each of its themed “lands” are
constructed to embody the popular perceptions of an abstract idea, such as the frontier,
tomorrow, and adventure. Even areas based on specific locations are primarily invested in
representing places as they exist in the American imagination. Culture is dynamic,
however, and public sensibilities evolve. The constant struggle to maintain societal
relevancy and resonance has revised nearly every facet of Disneyland’s narrative since its
opening, in ways both subtle and substantial.
