Hey, thanks for this.  We've never been to Disneyland but have been to Disney World twice, the last time in 1991.  So it's been awhile.

Part 1: This is how Disneyland looked in 1955

Part 2: This is how ​Disneyland changed from 1956 to 1959

Part 3: Here's how Disneyland looked and changed in the 1960s

Part 4: This is how Disneyland looked in the 1970s

Part 5: Star Tours, Captain EO, Splash Mountain – see how Disneyland changed in the 1980s

Part 6: From 'Fantasmic!' to Toontown, this is how Disneyland changed in the 1990s

Part 7: Gold, diamonds and new lands for the new century at Disneyland

The most obvious change to Disneyland, I can only speak to Anaheim, occurred with the death of Walt, it was the degradation of his vision and dream and morality. Why is that almost always the guaranteed outcome when a founder dies, Walter Knott dies and the children immediately bring in alcohol and sleaze, Carl karcher dies and suddenly semi pornographic commercials start airing, Ray Kroc passes and his philosophy of don't do if you can't do it right, goes right out the window, the menu is flooded with crap, and the ads are suddenly directed to one particular segment rather than Ray's traditional market segment, Families. Disneyland has become a destination that requires multiple days to actually enjoy a significant portion of the park, and let's not forget first and foremost, lot's and lot's of money!

I look forward to reading the linked articles. We lived in the San Fernando Valley from 1962-65 and visited Disneyland many times.
