           SUBJECT:   Disneyland Day

          DIGEST:  This resolution declares June 1, 2015, as Disneyland  
          Day in recognition of the 60th anniversary of Disneyland.


          ANALYSIS:   This resolution makes the following legislative  
          findings:


          1)Disneyland, which is referred to as "the happiest place on  
            earth" and has provided time-honored and beloved traditions of  
            entertainment to generations of families in California and  
            nationwide, will celebrate its 60th anniversary in 2015.


          2)Created under the direct supervision of Walt Disney, a  
            creative genius who hoped that it would be a "source of joy  
            and inspiration to all the world," Disneyland has a greater  
            cumulative attendance than any other theme park on the planet,  
            having greeted over 700,000,000 visitors since it opened its  
            doors on July 17, 1955.

                                                                     Page  2



          3)The creation of Disneyland was possibly the single greatest  
            family entertainment achievement of the 20th century,  
            introducing an entirely new concept in outdoor entertainment  
            and establishing an icon of fun and magic known around the  
            world which continues well into the 21st century.


          4)The myriad manifestations of the philanthropy embraced by the  
            Walt Disney Company and its 28,000 employees are equally  
            impressive, including when the company exemplifies its  
            humanitarian efforts in response to natural disasters and  
            continuously gives back to the community, whether in  
            California, elsewhere in the United States, or worldwide.


          This resolution recognizes Disneyland upon the celebration of  
          its 60th anniversary, commends Disneyland and the Walt Disney  
          Company for their decades-long record of enhancing the quality  
          of life for people in California and beyond, and declares June  
          1, 2015, as Disneyland Day.
