This rare photo of Walt Disney was taken at the opening of the Skyway attraction on June 23, 1956. Standing on the steps of the chalet-like setting in Fantasyland that served as its home for nearly 30 years, he looks pretty happy to me – don’t you agree?

It's great to see old photos like this. I always think that it's a shame that Mr. Disney didn't get to see WDW open, but then I think to myself, "He was there!" - MP
