1963 Photo: Walt Disney Celebrates Mexico at Disneyland Park

My favorite photos of Walt Disney at Disneyland park show a man thoroughly enjoying the place he created. The photo I’m sharing today is certainly in that category.

In the summer of 1963, a section of Main Street, U.S.A., known as Center Street was home to a “Salute to Mexico,” a celebration of Mexican culture, and Walt Disney was on hand for the opening of this first-of-its kind Disneyland exhibition.

As you can see, Walt seemed to be having a great time joining in the celebration.

¡Viva Disneyland!
