Walt Disney opened Disneyland, his highly influential theme park in Anaheim, California, in 1955. For 25 cents, visitors could park in the adjacent 100-acre parking lot that had room for more than 12,000 cars. Disneyland's original parking lot was closed in 1998, and the site became home to another theme park, Disney's California Adventure, in 2001.
