One of our most popular features we ran this past year was a set of stills from "Disneyland U.S.A." (42 minutes, narrated by Winston Hibler) a 1956 Disney CinemaScope featurette. Although it's clearly a promotional film masquerading as a travelogue short, for park aficionados it's the definitive look at Disneyland: Year One.

Not France, Japan or China.

Many of you e-mailed us asking for more, since the DVD the short was featured has been difficult, if not impossible, to find. So today we'll begin a series (that we'll try to schedule monthly), focusing on different sections of the park. (As before, we'll keep the commentary short and let the stills do all the work here.)

A tour of Main Street would be a good way to see just how much the park has evolved, and yet still retains it's original design over the years. But no trip to the magic kingdom should start without first checking into the swanky Disneyland Hotel just across the 100 acre parking lot.

Bet those cars used up a lot of gas!

Who needs Coppertone!

Just a tram ride away is the entrance to the park; but better hold on tight to the kids and grandma just in case the driver takes too sharp a turn!

Before the big mistake...

Mickey smiles because he knows he's got your money.

Let's go inside the berm!
