Nikita Khruschev

Nikita Khruschev
Okay, so this photo wasn't exactly taken at Disneyland, but it's not like former Soviet Premier Nikita Khruschev wanted it this way.  In a notable Cold War anecdote, Khruschev was denied entry to Disneyland during his 1959 extended visit to the U.S.  After being told that his presence in the park might pose a safety hazard, the premier threw a tantrum not unlike those commonly witnessed in the Disneyland parking lot.  If only he had gained access to the happiest place in the world, who knows what our world might have looked like today...
