Good morning! This day in Disney history, Jan. 3rd,1965. Disneyland's 10th anniversary officially kickes off. The park debuted its Tencennial Parade & in the evening, Walt himself introduced new attractions that were coming to the park on Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color.
This television episode also featured Julie Reihm - the very first Disneyland Ambassador who he refers to as Miss Disneyland
(and Walt mistakenly introduced as Julie "Reihms")
Walt gave Miss Reihm (and TV viewers) a tour of such upcoming attractions as the HM & POTC. Reihm (today known as Julie Reihm Casaletto) went on to travel the world in 1965 as a special representative for Disneyland & the Disney Studio. To watch a clip of the celebration: http://is.gd/Q7WLY7 As always, thanks for reading! Have a great day everyone!
Is Mary Popoins flying? I think we need a flying Mary Poppins! She would be awesome for the fireworks. Especially since Julie Andrews narrates. - KissDclown

Thank you for posting this! Sometimes I think we forget about the smallest things in our lives that bring memories flooding back...like Walt's voice and watching the Wonderful World of Color and waiting for Tink to fly on to the tv screen, wave her wand to say goodnight...thank you again for this! - mrscttlemstr
