amusement parks. To walk down any of the perfectly curated streets is to take a step back in time in our country\u2019s history; to explore a past and present commitment to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.<\/p>\n<p>Disneyland is a place to explore the past in a truly immersive &#8211; and magical &#8211; way. Walt Disney truly said it best when he declared, \u201cDisneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams, and the hard facts that have created America.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whether it\u2019s the American Flags that line the rooftops on Main Street, U.S.A., the scattered tributes to great American tales including Mark Twain\u2019s Tom Sawyer, or the stunning turn-of-the-century, down-home, American vibe on Main Street, U.S.A., Disneyland incorporates Walt Disney\u2019s patriotism in a unique and fun way for everyone!<\/p>\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Main_Street_USA\"><\/span>Main Street, U.S.A.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14646\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Disneyland-Great-Moments-With-Mr-Lincoln.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14646\" class=\"wp-image-14646 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Disneyland-Great-Moments-With-Mr-Lincoln.jpg\" alt=\"Disneyland Great Moments With-Mr. Lincoln\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Disneyland-Great-Moments-With-Mr-Lincoln.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Disneyland-Great-Moments-With-Mr-Lincoln-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Disneyland-Great-Moments-With-Mr-Lincoln-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Disneyland-Great-Moments-With-Mr-Lincoln-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Disneyland-Great-Moments-With-Mr-Lincoln-540x405.jpg 540w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-14646\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Disneyland\u2019s Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln attraction, a classic spectacular that\u2019s operated since opening day<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Perhaps the most notable place to find remnants of an old America is on Main Street, U.S.A.; the heartline of America.<\/p>\n<p>Main Street was based on the ambience of Walt Disney\u2019s hometown, Marceline, Missouri, and the look of animator Harper Goff\u2019s hometown, Fort Collins, Colorado. Both of these cities were assimilated with an idealized turn-of-the-20th-century American town.<\/p>\n<p>Walt Disney once said, &#8220;For those of us who remember the carefree time it recreates, Main Street will bring back happy memories. For younger visitors, it is an adventure in turning back the calendar to the days of their grandfather&#8217;s youth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Main Street, U.S.A. is truly the backbone of Disneyland; it\u2019s the crossroads of an era, boasting of American optimism and enterprise, and bringing to guests the nostalgia of an earlier, simpler time.<\/p>\n<p>Patriotism lines Main Street from the train station at the bottom to the Sleeping Beauty Castle standing prominently at the top. It can be argued that this layout in and of itself is a metaphor for America\u2019s constant striving toward a better, shining future.<\/p>\n<p>There are many patriotic secrets that you can find on Main Street, U.S.A., like the gas lamps that line the street. These vintage lamps originated in 19th century Baltimore and were more than 150 years old at the time they moved to America\u2019s favorite theme park.<\/p>\n<p>Also, see if you can find the American Flags on Main Street that are missing either a star or stripe. This was not done because someone forgot to count all 13 stripes and 50 stars, but out of respect for our nation\u2019s banner; since these flags are unable to be raised or lowered as established in proper flag etiquette, Disney decided they shouldn\u2019t be true American Flags.<\/p>\n<p>After you\u2019ve counted the flags, stars, and stripes, join Cast Members and park guests alike in the center of Town Square for a daily pause; Disneyland\u2019s classic tradition, the Flag Retreat Ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>Main Street, U.S.A. is also home to one of Disneyland\u2019s original, classic attractions: The Disneyland Story Presenting Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln. Here, you\u2019ll find a scale model of what Disneyland looked like on opening day, as well as a scale model of America\u2019s most famous house and the most honest animatronic President you\u2019ll ever see!<\/p>\n<p>Here, you can watch as President Abraham Lincoln &#8211; the Great Emancipator reincarnated in lifelike animatronic form &#8211; delivers parts of his famous speeches that changed history and helped shape our nation.<\/p>\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frontierland\"><\/span>Frontierland<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_14645\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Disneyland-Frontieerland.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14645\" class=\"wp-image-14645 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Disneyland-Frontieerland.jpg\" alt=\"Disneyland Frontierland\" width=\"800\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Disneyland-Frontieerland.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Disneyland-Frontieerland-600x294.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Disneyland-Frontieerland-300x147.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Disneyland-Frontieerland-768x376.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Disneyland-Frontieerland-540x265.jpg 540w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-14645\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Just west of the Sleeping Beauty Castle is Frontierland, a tribute to the Wild West days in America and the pioneer days along the American Frontier<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Here, you\u2019ll find 13 American Flags displayed along the top of the log stockade. These flags represent the colors carried by soldiers during the Revolutionary War.<\/p>\n<p>On a completely unrelated note, Doritos &#8211; one of America\u2019s favorite chip brands &#8211; were originally invented in Disneyland as Casa de Fritos, a Mexican restaurant in Frontierland now called the Rancho del Zocalo Restaurante. They were created to recycle old tortillas that would have otherwise gone to waste.<\/p>\n<p>Just past Frontierland lies the Rivers of America, a tribute in and of itself to &#8211; you guessed it! &#8211; the famous rivers of America.

In honor of that, guests who choose to embark on this great ship will circumnavigate Pirate\u2019s Lair on Tom Sawyer\u2019s island during a 10+ minute scenic ride.<\/p>\n<p>After Joe Fowler (Disneyland&#8217;s construction supervisor and a former naval admiral) told Mr. Disney that it was customary to put a silver dollar under each mast before it was set, Disney personally put one under each of the Columbia&#8217;s three masts.<\/p>\n<p>The Columbia\u2019s christening was led by Gretchen Campbell Richmond. This lovely lady was the wife of Alfred C. Richmond, Commandant of the United States Coast Guard (1954-1962).<\/p>\n<p>Fowler\u2019s Harbor (to the West of the Rivers of America) is a tribute to Joe Fowler.

The films were often set in a 19th century American heartland and usually featured a hero (the famous Mickey Mouse!) who\u2019s hard work and bravery in the face of challenge always found the \u201ccommon man\u201d and the \u201caverage Joe\u201d successful and triumphant.<\/p>\n<p>By World War II, the company was generating propaganda films and producing war-related goods for the American cause. Disney characters made appearances on posters, war bonds, and more than a thousand military unit insignia, as well as short patriotic cartoons. In fact, Donald Duck soon became so well known as an American military symbol that in February, 1943, The New York Times called him \u201ca salesman of the American Way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>What patriotic secrets have you stumbled across at the Happiest Place on Earth?
