Disneyland at 50: Walt's wild ride (http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/living/travel/11406269.htm) -- Mercury News, 2005-04-17

It was sweltering that day. And crowded. People gathered at the entrance even if they didn't have tickets, that's how eager they were to get inside.

``Hotter than hell'' is how Art Linkletter, the emcee and Walt Disney's longtime friend, remembers it. ``The asphalt had just been rolled and people's shoes got stuck in it. But we carried on. We didn't worry about stuff like that.''
