It is the only theme park designed and built to completion under the direct supervision of Walt Disney . It was originally the only attraction on the property; its official name was changed to Disneyland Park to distinguish it from the expanding complex in the 1990s . </P> <P> Walt Disney came up with the concept of Disneyland after visiting various amusement parks with his daughters in the 1930s and 1940s . He initially envisioned building a tourist attraction adjacent to his studios in Burbank to entertain fans who wished to visit; however, he soon realized that the proposed site was too small . After hiring a consultant to help him determine an appropriate site for his project, Disney bought a 160 - acre (65 ha) site near Anaheim in 1953 . Construction began in 1954 and the park was unveiled during a special televised press event on the ABC Television Network on July 17, 1955 . </P>
