Walt Disney's Disneyland - A Progress Report (1955)

On this episode of Walt's TV show we see the early stages of Disneyland under construction. It's amazing seeing this footage of what later became Disneyland. Walt built his park in a year and a day, like the King Arthur legend of Camelot. Walt narrates this footage with his typical humor. This episode also shows how the construction of Disneyland was filmed, often by vets from the True Life Adventure film crews. There's also footage of the very first audio animatronics under construction for the Jungle Cruise.

When this episode originally aired it was paired with the True life Adventure Nature's Half Acre. We have only included the Disneyland documentary portion of the program for historical purposes. Nature's Half Acre was released to DVD in 2006.

Original airdate February 9, 1955
