Did you know...
As part of "Let the Memories Begin," a new nighttime entertainment offering will debut at Disneyland Park later this month. The Magic, The Memories, and You! will turn the facade of "it's a small world" into a canvas where guests can view photos taken earlier that day by a Disney's PhotoPass photographer projected onto the attraction's exterior. The show lasts approximately 10 minutes and will feature a new song written exclusively for "Let the Memories Begin."

The very first issue debuted in 1969 featuring Mickey Mouse on the cover of its two-page, typewritten newsletter. Mickey was shown talking on the phone-or "line"- which gave the publication its name. The Disneyland Resort Line is the longest-running employee publication in The Walt Disney Company.
