Walt Disney was an artistic visionary when it came to storytelling. In 1954, just shy of a year before the opening of Disneyland, he was preparing to broadcast a television series that would creatively showcase his new park, bringing the worlds from his movies, characters and ambitions to life. On October 27, 1954, “Disneyland” premiered on ABC Television Network.
