This Week in Disney History: August 5-11, 2019
There’s always a great, big, beautiful tomorrow at The Walt Disney Company, because every day is tied to a milestone in the heritage and rich history of a company that has been entertaining millions of people every year. Published every week, this interesting series features highlights from all the divisions of The Walt Disney Company. Let's see what happened this week:
This week: On Aug. 5, 1967, Adventure thru Inner Space opened at Disneyland Park. This ingenious attraction took guests through a Mighty Microscope to become tiny enough to enter the molecules of a snowflake, all in a style and manner that was as mind-twisting and unsettling as it was enlightening and optimistic.
