Disneyland Park, originally Disneyland, is the first of two theme parks built at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, opened on July 17, 1955. It is the only theme park designed and built under the direct supervision of Walt Disney. It was originally the only attraction on the property; its name was changed to Disneyland Park to distinguish it from the expanding complex in the 1990s.

Walt Disney came up with the concept of Disneyland after visiting various amusement parks with his daughters in the 1930s and 1940s. He initially envisioned building a tourist attraction adjacent to his studios in Burbank to entertain fans who wished to visit; however, he soon realized that the proposed site was too small. After hiring a consultant to help him determine an appropriate site for his project, Disney bought a 160-acre (65 ha) site near Anaheim in 1953. Construction began in 1954 and the park was unveiled during a special televised press event on the ABC Television Network on July 17, 1955.

Disneyland is the original Disney theme park in Anaheim, California.

He gets more worried when Jay (Ed O'Neill) tells him it is a normal reaction for someone as they get older. Phil is later relieved to discover that he only feels ill because he comes down with the flu.

Claire (Julie Bowen) decides to introduce Haley (Sarah Hyland) to her friend's nephew, Ethan (Matt Prokop). The two get along but Claire's plans are foiled when the family bump into Dylan (Reid Ewing) who works at the park as a "Dapper Dan". Alex (Ariel Winter) eventually ends up taking a liking to Ethan whilst Haley dwells over why Dylan did not tell her he was back in town. Claire manages to pull Alex away from Ethan and she persuades Haley to spend time with him again but it takes a turn for the worst when Ethan assaults Dylan, who is dressed in a Little John costume. Ethan separates from the family when he bumps into a group of friends and Haley and Dylan decide to get back together.
