Most visitors agree a single visit to Disneyland lo- cated in Anaheim, Calif., is not enough. Things change. More entertainment areas are added. Attractions are updated to keep pace with change and progress, And always, there are the adventures that could not be explored on previous visits to the park. When Disneyland opened 21 years ago, in July, 1955, the public was offered a well or- ganized blend of fun, food and family enjoyment. Those looking for good, clean family-style _entertain- ment found it in this $17 million “theme” park’ Té-acres of ‘what i just a short time ago was orange groves. .

Eleven years after the park's debut, a sixth “land” was opened, New Orleans Square, presenting the Queen City of the Mississippi with startling splendor and authenticity. spread _over~ “Bear Country,” a ‘light. hearted look at America's northwest, made its. bow in March, 1972.

With its seven “lands” asa nucleus, guests on a single visit may ride a bobsled down the Matterhorn, ‘glide into the ocean's depths in an “atomic” «submarine or brave an ad- venturous trip in their own _flat-bottomed.bateaux for a plunge backward in time when -pirates ruled the Spanish Main. Those interested in jour-- neying out of this world can enter the “Haunted Mansion,” where apparitions drift through walls and lifeless statues sing and dance, or take a simulated voyage to the planet Mars and back in just a matter of minutes. Visitors who prefer a more leisurely pace may stroll through a bit of Americana in days-gone-by. An old-fashioned ice cream parlor, silent cinema and general store keep alive this delightful nostalgia. Guests may also discover new and old eras of trans- portation as they board the versatile PeopleMover, a dou- ble-decker “Omnibus, * soaring Skyway, h di Sine Those who visit The Main Street Opera House may enjoy “The Walt Disney Story,” fea- turing “Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln,” an audio-aninia- + tronics salute to the U.S.’s 16th president. “America Sings,” in the Carousel Theater, allows fun seekers to enjoy nearly 200, years of memorable music through the comical antics and songs of more than 110 humorous animals, who come to life through the wizardry of audio-animatronics.
