A: That is a big unanswered question. We have not found any pictures of a Disneyland marquee or sign from the early years (1955-’58), so if anyone took a picture on a family trip, we would love to see it. We know that the original large marquee at Disneyland was constructed in 1958. It was 42 feet high and had seven flags at the top, and read:  Disneyland—Park & Hotel Entrance. A message board was added in the mid-’60s, and the subtitle replaced by “The Happiest Place on Earth” in the mid-’70s. That original marquee was replaced by a new, larger one, measuring 67 feet high, in 1989. That marquee was removed in 1999 and replaced by an arch over the entry road.
