Walt Disney built Disneyland in Anaheim, CA first and it opened in 1955.He decided to open a park on the East Coast because even though Disneyland had a national weekly TV show and at that time 75% of Americans lived east of the Mississippi River, only 2% of the visitors to the park were from the East.The land for Walt Disney World in Florida was acquired in 1964 and 1965.
