Today in Disney History: New Disneyland Sign Debuts, 1989

For years, a large marquee sign on Harbor Blvd. welcomed guests to Disneyland park. On this day in 1989, the original sign which stood at the entrance since the park opened, was replaced with a new sign featuring an electronic marquee. To mark this occasion, I’d like to re-share two photos that were originally posted by George Savvas in this fantastic article back in 2010 here on the Disney Parks Blog.

In the photo above, you can see the old and the new side-by-side as the new sign is installed.

And here is the new sign, finished and lit up, as it would welcome guests for the next 10 years.
