I have been sharing the 11 Rides that were open at Disneyland on Day 1 and are still there (albeit with some changes). We are still in Fantsyland, which had a major make over in the 1990s.
THE MAD TEA PARTY
The Mad Tea Party has been a Disneyland icon from the start. Inspired by the 1951 film Alice in Wonderland, the attraction allows guests to ride and spin giant teacups, which themselves are fixed to spinning turntables on the ground. It’s received a few updates over the years, including a colorful paint job and sturdy doors on the cups where there were once only ropes.

SNOW WHITE AND HER ADVENTURES
Though it's been around since the beginning, Snow White's Disneyland attraction has gone through plenty of tweaks over the years. It originally debuted in July 1955 as Snow White and Her Adventures, but it was renamed Snow White’s Scary Adventures in 1983 to better reflect the ride’s terrifying encounters with the evil witch from 1937's Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. The ride has since been toned down quite a bit, and it was recently reimagined as the more family-friendly Snow White’s Enchanted Wish.

Oddly Disney is getting some shit now about consent. That is, Prince Charming kisses Snow White without her consent. How she would give consent under a spell where she sleeps all the time is beyong me.
Me: Monsanto's hosue of the future
I love pre-fabricated housing. And I love architecture. Although I typical attribute this to Greg (after all, I did put him through Architect School at SciArc) - maybe it all started here: in the House of the Future. Here is a funny aside, the House of the Future actually sat above Disney's Alpine Garden (another thing I am obsessed with). It was taken out when I was still young.
