June 14, 1958 – The Fantasyland Attraction Alice in Wonderland Opens in Disneyland
“Can you escape in time for a very ‘unbirthday party’ where you’re the guest of honor?”
On June 14, 1958, the Fantasyland attraction Alice in Wonderland opened in Disneyland. Based on the 1951 animated feature, the attraction is a dark ride, with parts of the ride illuminated using ultraviolet light and special paint. Guests board caterpillar-shaped boats and head into “Wonderland,” viewing several iconic scenes from the film, and meeting the beloved characters. The attraction was closed on September 6, 1982, for a major remodel, which included a re-recording of the voice of Alice by original actress Kathryn Beaumont. As of the date of this entry, the ride has been closed again for another remodel. This is one of the few attractions that exists only in Disneyland.
