ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY

On June 17, 1955, Disney Land opened in Anaheim.  It was a complete clusterfuck.  The opening was supposed to be by invitation only but the invitations were widely counterfeited and many times more people showed up than the park could accommodate.  They ran out of food and drink and the steamboat ride very nearly overturned due to overloading.
