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. ACR 75 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. Related Legislation SCR 54 (Nguyen, 2015) honors the memory of Walt Disney and his lasting legacy of quality family entertainment, congratulates the Disneyland Resort and The Walt Disney Company on the 60th anniversary of Disneyland, the Diamond Celebration at "The Happiest Place on Earth," and declares June 1, 2015, as Disneyland Day.
