As of 2014, the park had welcomed almost 700 million guests since opening, accord- ing to Disneyland PR.


All the plants in the Tomor- rowland attraction are edible.


Disneyland Facts:


When the park opened, admission was $1, according to PBS. It’s now $99.


Over 84 million Mickey Mouse ears have been sold since Disneyland opened, making the ears the most popular Disneyland souvenir of all time.
