If you had to pick two good things in this amusement-park world, going to Disneyland and being their first customer ever would definitely be something bucket list-worthy. And this man has done it back in 1955! Scroll down for the whole story!
生活中有那么多給我們?nèi)祟悗砜鞓返氖虑?,各種各樣的游樂園肯定會(huì)被列入這個(gè)世界提供的那些簡單的小快樂的清單中。想象一下它的烏托邦——你可以在幻想世界中漫步,遇到你最喜歡的角色,他們總是很開心,很想和你一起拍照。這不是一個(gè)夢嗎?在這個(gè)游樂園的世界里,如果你必須選擇兩樣好東西的話,去迪斯尼樂園和成為他們的第一個(gè)顧客絕對(duì)值得一試。而這個(gè)人早在1955年就做到了!向下滾動(dòng)整個(gè)故事!
Dave MacPherson was a 22-year-old college student back in July 1955 when he became the first Disneyland customer ever
1955年7月,22歲的大學(xué)生戴夫·麥克弗森成為迪斯尼樂園的第一位顧客
This handsome Scotsman smirking at the camera is Dave MacPherson who at the time of the grand opening of Disneyland was only 22 years old and studied at Long Beach State College. He was the first customer to set foot in the legendary amusement park on the day it was opened to the common people.
這位英俊的蘇格蘭男子名叫戴夫·麥克弗森,他對(duì)著鏡頭傻笑。迪斯尼樂園盛大開幕時(shí),他只有22歲,就讀于長灘州立大學(xué)。他是第一個(gè)在這個(gè)傳奇的游樂園對(duì)普通民眾開放的那一天踏進(jìn)這個(gè)樂園的顧客。
Who figured out he wanted to be first in line and started at 2 AM on opening day

And was the first person to enter the park after Disney’s family members and celebrities
他是繼迪斯尼家庭成員和名人之后第一個(gè)進(jìn)入公園的人
But don’t be mistaken, it’s no lucky coincidence. The young Scotsman observed Disneyland’s opening festivities on television on July 17th, 1955. He marveled at the celebrities enjoying the park when the thought struck him – why not be the first of all the commoners to enter the park.
但不要誤會(huì),這不是幸運(yùn)的巧合。1955年7月17日,這位年輕的蘇格蘭人在電視上觀看了迪斯尼樂園的開幕慶典。當(dāng)他想到這個(gè)主意時(shí),對(duì)那些正在公園里游玩的名人感到驚奇——為什么不第一個(gè)進(jìn)入公園呢?
He hatched the plan while watching the opening day festivities on July 17th, 1955 and then made a 10-mile trip on a motorbike to begin the queue
1955年7月17日,他在觀看開幕式慶祝活動(dòng)時(shí)想出了這個(gè)計(jì)劃,然后騎著摩托車進(jìn)行了10英里的旅行,開始排隊(duì)
He doesn’t know what happened to his admission ticket but he preserved this copy of the complimentary card that came with it
他不知道自己的準(zhǔn)入證在哪兒,但他保留了這張附贈(zèng)卡的復(fù)印件
But proudly says he has been coming back every year since
但他自豪地說,從那以后,他每年都回來
Seems that MacPherson really appreciates the honor, since he keeps coming back every year
似乎麥克弗森真的很感激這份榮譽(yù),因?yàn)樗磕甓蓟貋?/strong>
And even takes his wife Wanda to the Happiest Place on Earth with a couple of friends
甚至帶著妻子旺達(dá)和幾個(gè)朋友去了世界上最幸福的地方
Seems like he never misses a chance to show off his love for Disney
似乎他從不錯(cuò)過任何一個(gè)展示他對(duì)迪斯尼的熱愛的機(jī)會(huì)
The Disneyland he visited had its grand opening on July 17th, 1955

他說,看到身后6000人的隊(duì)伍是他永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)忘記的事情
