Found this on the Disney by Mark blog. It is a modern map of Disneyland with an original map overlay. I've included the link because the image is really really big, but it is interesting to see how much the park has changed.

Thanks MmeLeota, it's good to be back, I've missed it.
It is really interesting to see the way the park has increased over the years. I can't imagine how small the park was when it first opened. I know it is much smaller than the Magic Kingdom at WDW, but it is shocking how small it really was.

Looking at old photos from when DL first opened, it is fun to see how open the park was too since the trees weren't fully grown yet.agingerbugg wrote:Thanks MmeLeota, it's good to be back, I've missed it.
