Let's take a look around this beautiful Disneyland treasure in this week's Walk in the Park article...

On July 17th, 2015, I went to Disneyland to join the birthday party for the Diamond Celebration. I went with several of my close Disney friends. Disney Parks Blog had encouraged everyone to show off their #DisneySide by showing up in their 1955 themed outfits. It was fun to see what everyone was wearing. A lot of people got into wearing their Disneyland 1955-themed outfits. Let's enjoy a day at Disneyland in this week's Walk in the Park article...

Let's have a look at all the new additions to the Castle as it prepares for the 60th celebration in this week's Walk in the Park article...
