You Need To See This Magical Concept Art Of Disneyland

    It was meant to be The Happiest Place on Earth from the beginning.

    Everyone knows Disneyland is The Happiest Place on Earth.

    But in these rare archival images that were used to sell prospective East Coast licensees on the park, you can see Disneyland BEFORE it was actually Disneyland.

    And it turns out that the plans for the park...

    ...were pretty similar to what guests get to enjoy today!

    Like Adventureland, which looks just as wild on paper...

    ...as it does in Southern California!

    And Tomorrowland looked just like the futuristic metropolis you would expect.

    Last but not least, sketches of Sleeping Beauty Castle look JUST as magical as it does in real life... although we're missing the fortress-like walls!
