Of course, 1955 is the well-known opening year of Disneyland, which was probably fresh in the mind of whoever wrote this copy/designed the banner. However, the Matterhorn Bobsleds would not open for another four years in 1959, the same year that Sleeping Beauty premiered. Oops!

Honestly, it’s not that big of a mistake and likely an easy one to make, even if you’re extremely familiar with Disney Parks history. Whoever is responsible likely just had a lapse of memory, which happens to us all. In fact, Theme Park Duo Podcast even noticed a spacing error on another banner, this time commemorating the opening ceremony of Magic Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort, suggesting a possible mistake in printing rather than design:
Who exactly is Walt Disneyworld? Is it Walt’s other other brother? pic.twitter.com/aETNqNvNyG

Now that it’s aware of these typos, Disney Parks & Resorts will likely rectify the situation, and everyone hoping to enjoy the 100 Years of Wonder celebration can live Happily Ever After…
