Expo '55 - Hotel Tram

July 17th, 1955.

Inspired by the happiest place on earth, this whimsical series explores the unsung heroes of the park; the ride vehicles. Set within the parks first few opening years, the series navigates everything from the most popular rides to the long-forgotten gems, all in celebration of each vehicle's unique and timeless design.

Today, we begin with the first vehicle you’d experience on a trip to the Magic Kingdom, the original Disneyland Hotel Tram. A sleek and streamlined means of transportation to quickly get your tired feet to and from the park.
