🚂 July 31, 1955 - The Casey Jr. Circus Train (based on the train of the same name from the 1941 Dumbo) debuts at Disneyland. Located in the back of Fantasyland next to Dumbo, the train was to open with the rest of the park on July 17 ... but it wasn't operating properly. via @disneylandalumni #disneyland #onthisday #disney #dumbo #fantasyland #1950s #disneyfamily #disneytrain #disneyvacation | Days Gone Disney
