Author: Daly (D), et al.
Amended: 6/1/15 in Assembly
Vote: 21
ASSEMBLY FLOOR: Read and adopted, 6/1/15
SUBJECT: Disneyland Day
SOURCE: Disneyland Resort
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.

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.
