The population of Disneyland just hit another milestone.
This morning, Disney's original theme park welcomed its one billionth guest.

The park honored Arizona's Andres Robles, who is celebrating his eighth birthday today, as the official visitor number 1,000,000,000 in Disneyland history. Disneyland opened July 17, 1955, so that's an average of more than 14 million visitors a year.

Wow, that's impressive. Am hit by likely getting that record without the pandemic but still historic.
Not trying to be a scrooge here - but they were obviously pre selected and knew of the event.
It could have be more organic but it would have been hard to do...
Grab somebody out of line and say - you are the 1,000,000,000 person.....!!!
Now just think McDonalds has served many billions....
It's pretty incredible....
I bet TH Creative will be selected for Orlando's 1,000,000,000 person hahahahha
It is a truly amazing milestone as it proves it has remained the pinnacle of relevance to millions of people every year for 71 consecutive years. Just think about that for a moment. Think about how the world has changed since 1955, how society has changed, how our expectations have changed, how people's preferences have changed, how many choices we now have, how virtual entertainment has consumed us all yet, Disneyland has remained relevant to an average of 14 million guests every year. WOW! History can be manipulated and distorted over time and even changed but these statistics demonstrate unequivocally the genial vision of Walt........and the rest is history.

That’s an amazing benchmark to reach! I wonder what totals the other major theme parks respectively currently enjoy.
