Walt Disney's Disneyland - The Pre-Opening Report (1955)

Throughout the 1954-55 television season, Walt Disney had been showing viewers progress reports of the construction of his theme park, Disneyland.

The first of its kind on such a grand scale, Walt had agreed to do this TV show in order to both co-fund the construction of and to advertise his park.

This seldom seen final progress report works as almost a mini documentary on the ingenuity it took to build Disneyland.

Many of the problems these craftsmen faced had never been attempted before and you see how they brilliantly solved them.
