Milestone: 1 Billion Guests at Disneyland Resort
Seven decades of joy, countless magical memories, and now—one billion guests from around the world!
Disneyland Resort officially marked this incredible historic milestone with a special ceremony at the entrance of Disneyland Park. Over the last 71 years, the resort has brought families together from every corner of the globe, cementing its legacy as the ultimate Happiest Place on Earth. Hitting the one-billion-guest mark just days before its official 71st anniversary proves that Walt Disney’s original dream is more alive than ever, continuing to inspire and bring joy to generations of fans.
An unsuspecting guest and their family were surprised as the honorary one billionth guest at Disneyland Resort.
Andres Robles from Arizona arrived at Disneyland this morning with his parents, Alejandra and Jose Robles, anticipating a fun day ahead to celebrate his eighth birthday. Unbeknownst to him, they were about to be part of Disney history: they were selected as the honorary one billionth guest to have visited Disneyland and California Adventure!
The family was invited to participate in a brief ceremony with the Disney Ambassadors of Disneyland Resort at the Main Street, U.S.A., train station platform, where they had the honor of helping unveil an updated sign listing the population of Disneyland as 1,000,000,000. Adding to the excitement, Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse made a special appearance on the platform.
Following the ceremony, Donald Duck and Daisy Duck joined Andres and family for a special photo opportunity.
The Robles family visit is just one of the many lifelong memories that have been created here at Disneyland Resort. From vacations and reunions to birthdays and more, generations of families and friends have come to Disneyland Resort to have fun together.
Andres and his parents received a VIP tour guide for the day, which includes a tour of Walt Disney’s private apartment, the newly opened Soarin’ Across America attraction and other special experiences that define a memorable Disneyland visit.
When it opened in 1955, Disneyland park introduced a new concept in family entertainment and launched the theme park industry as we know it today.
Disneyland Resort has since welcomed guests from around the world and expanded to become a multifaceted, world-class family resort destination, complete with two renowned Disney theme parks, three hotels and the Downtown Disney District. Disneyland has also served as the inspiration behind the creation of more Disney theme parks and experiences across the globe.
Today, Disneyland continues its legacy as a worldwide icon and industry leader in entertainment and theme park experiences. The resort continues to invest in creativity, technology and innovation to bring storytelling to new heights, while fulfilling Walt Disney’s vision that “Disneyland will never be complete as long as there is imagination left in the world.”
