"It feels like only yesterday," Linkletter said of the opening a half century ago of Disneyland, the small park that launched the modern theme-park industry.With the same twinkle in his eye and smile that endeared him to generations of children and families, the 92-year-old Linkletter declared: "Over the years, it's been wonderful to watch Walt's dream spread."
