I visited the place before it was Disneyland. In 1954, we went “way out in the country,” as my mother described it, to my uncle’s chicken ranch, had dinner, and stayed overnight. It was exciting to be awakened by crowing roosters something we couldn’t experience in suburban West Whittier.
Many years later, I learned that the ranch “way out in the country” was on the site of Disneyland.
I grew up in Orange, CA back in the 60’s & 70’s. Spent a lot of time at Disneyland. Sad, what has happened to Disney.
