ORLANDO, Fla. — Disneyland Resort has reached a major milestone, welcoming its 1 billionth guest to Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure.
Disney said the milestone comes just days before the resort’s 71st anniversary.
The honorary 1 billionth guest was 8-year-old Andres Robles of Arizona, who was visiting Disneyland Resort with his parents to celebrate his birthday. The family was surprised during a ceremony at the entrance to Disneyland, where they helped unveil an updated sign showing the park’s population had reached 1 billion guests.
As part of the celebration, the family met Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck and Daisy Duck and received a VIP tour that included Walt Disney’s private apartment and the newly opened Soarin’ Across America attraction.
Disneyland opened in 1955 and has since expanded into a resort featuring two theme parks, three hotels and the Downtown Disney District.
