An 8-year-old Arizona boy celebrating his birthday at Disneyland got the surprise of a lifetime Friday when he was named the California theme park’s honorary 1 billionth guest.<\/p>\n
Andres Robles and his family, who traveled from Arizona, were greeted by Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse during a ceremony on the Main Street USA train station platform, where they helped unveil an updated sign that says “Population 1,000,000,000.”<\/p>\n
The family received a VIP tour that included a visit to Walt Disney’s private apartment, a peek at the newly opened Soarin’ Across America attraction and other exclusive experiences.<\/p>\n
Robles became Disneyland’s honorary 1 billionth guest more than 70 years after the park first opened its gates July 17, 1955.<\/p>\n

“Welcoming our one billionth guest is a remarkable milestone for Disneyland Resort and a testament to the generations of guests who have made this special place part of their lives,” Disneyland Resort President Jill Estorino said in a statement.<\/p>\n
“For more than 70 years, Walt\u2019s original park has been a timeless symbol of Disney storytelling, where memories are made and shared, and we are honored to carry that legacy forward for guests today and for generations to come.”<\/p>\n
The milestone comes as Disneyland Resort continues celebrating its 70th anniversary and on the eve of America’s 250th anniversary.<\/p>\n
