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岁的大学生戴夫·麦克弗森成为迪斯尼乐园的第一位顾客

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.

这位英俊的苏格兰男子名叫戴夫·麦克弗森，他对着镜头傻笑。迪斯尼乐园盛大开幕时，他只有22岁，就读于长滩州立大学。他是第一个在这个传奇的游乐园对普通民众开放的那一天踏进这个乐园的顾客。

Who figured out he wanted to be first in line and started at 2 AM on opening day

是谁想出他想排第一，在开幕日的凌晨2点就开始排队

And was the first person to enter the park after Disney’s family members and celebrities

他是继迪斯尼家庭成员和名人之后第一个进入公园的人

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.

但不要误会，这不是幸运的巧合。1955年7月17日，这位年轻的苏格兰人在电视上观看了迪斯尼乐园的开幕庆典。当他想到这个主意时，对那些正在公园里游玩的名人感到惊奇——为什么不第一个进入公园呢?

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，他在观看开幕式庆祝活动时想出了这个计划，然后骑着摩托车进行了10英里的旅行，开始排队

He doesn’t know what happened to his admission ticket but he preserved this copy of the complimentary card that came with it

他不知道自己的准入证在哪儿，但他保留了这张附赠卡的复印件

But proudly says he has been coming back every year since

但他自豪地说，从那以后，他每年都回来

Seems that MacPherson really appreciates the honor, since he keeps coming back every year

似乎麦克弗森真的很感激这份荣誉，因为他每年都回来

And even takes his wife Wanda to the Happiest Place on Earth with a couple of friends

甚至带着妻子旺达和几个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

似乎他从不错过任何一个展示他对迪斯尼的热爱的机会

The Disneyland he visited had its grand opening on July 17th, 1955

他参观的迪斯尼乐园于1955年7月17日盛大开幕

And was opened to the public the next day, July 18th, after Disney’s family members and celebrities got a chance to visit

第二天，也就是7月18日，在迪斯尼的家庭成员和名人有机会参观之后，它对公众开放

He said that seeing the line of 6,000 people behind him was something he would never forget

他说，看到身后6000人的队伍是他永远不会忘记的事情
