Walt Disney founded Laugh-O-gram Films in 1922 when he was just 20 years old. This was his first animation studio, located in Kansas City, Missouri. The company produced animated shorts based on fairy tales before eventually going bankrupt, leading Disney to move to Hollywood.

Disneyland opened on July 17, 1955 in Anaheim, California. This was Walt Disney's first theme park and his dream project. The question contains a typo ('Disneylad' instead of 'Disneyland'), but the correct answer remains 1955.

Walt Disney's full name was Walter Elias Disney, making 'Elias' his middle name. He was named after his father, Elias Disney. This naming convention of passing down the father's first name as the middle name was common in American culture.

Ub Iwerks (option shows 'Ubbe Iwwerks' with spelling variations) was the key collaborator who worked closely with Walt Disney in the early years and played a major role in creating Mickey Mouse and other early Disney characters.
