Authentic, unscripted, and brimming with nostalgia, your personal Disney Parks time machine is nearly here and ready to take you back to the earliest days of Disneyland.

Releasing January 22 on Disney+ and Disney YouTube, Disneyland Handcrafted provides an intimate, first-hand look at the trials and tribulations behind the rapid construction of Disneyland leading up to its opening day in July 1955. With two weeks to go before the digital launch of this highly anticipated documentary, we’re giving you a front-row seat to the excitement with an inside look at the premiere event for the film on The Walt Disney Studios lot in Burbank, California.

Tonight, join Peyton and Maura from the Disney Parks Blog team as we take you inside the premiere of Disneyland Handcrafted, the latest Disney-focused documentary film from Leslie Iwerks.
