For Disneyland's 50th anniversary, the stunning fireworks spectacular, "Remember... Dreams Come True" was introduced. An immediate crowd pleaser, it lived on far beyond the timeframe for which it was intended. The show has evolved over the years, and in that time, it has become a Disneyland fan favorite.

Once upon a time, Disneyland guests could travel from one end of the park to the other by air. For 38 years, the Von Roll 101 Skyway provided aerial transportation from Fantasyland to Tomorrowland and vice versa. It was a scenic and mildly thrilling experience that has left a visible mark on Disneyland’s history.
