Opening Day memory: BUD COULSON...will never forget the wonderful experience he had on opening day as he guided Life magazine photographers, Allen Grant and Loomis Dean to vantage points. They took over 1,000 pictures that day, including many rolls from the top of the TV camera tower in the Plaza. It's still a mystery as to how Allen and Loomis negotiated that tower with cameras in both hands as well as around their necks.I have yet to see these appear in the LIFE photo archive hosted by Google.

I'm waiting too! Over 1000 Life Magazine photos of 7/17/55?? Those photos would make one heck of a Magazine Monday!
Actually, they posted three photos from that shoot.

Wow, can you imagine??
Have heard a few sad rumors regarding the fate of some of those photos...

So was September 12th, 1955 the first day Disneyland was closed following the July 18th public opening?
Yes, September 12, 1955 was the first day Disneyland was closed.
