Disneyland doesn't close, except Christmas day, so you can say the opening day is 12/26, but that would be silly.

July 17, 1955, otherwise called "black Sunday," was Disneyland's first day of operation. Imagine the day. It was clear. Not a cloud in the sky. A slight breeze. Hot. Very hot! One of the hottest days of the summer.
The day was mainly set as a "preview." Press personal, special celebrities, and dignitaries were invited to attend. Those people would be greeted by Walt Disney. That small little group ended up being a very large mob.
"Our official records indicate that there were 28,154 guests in the Park that day, and I'm not one to tamper with somebody's estimates" noted Van Arsdale France. Van was at the park on opening day.
Not that many people were invited. Some guests cleverly were able to forge Disneyland invitations.

Its easier to say when is it closed (Christmas Day) although it closes early on Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve. But be aware some of the outdoor rides close if there is a lightening storm (and they get lots of those in Florida, less so in Anaheim). Plus they close for obvious reasons when there is a hurricane warning.
I have been to both disney world and land and loved every minute. My advice would be to get a book and plan your attack and remember it can be a long day. Morning is less busy until it fills up (about 11:00ish) when you can dash to do the rides you really do not want to miss, but the firewaorks should also not be missed (9-10pm). I would advise trying to get on some of the rides when the parades are happening as a lot of people will go to see them. Plus, when you start to flag - go see a show (20-30mins seated in a/c). A good book is Disneyland Hidden (part of the Hidden series) it gives lots of good tips and advice and describes what to expect from the rides. Oh, and the food is way pricey!
Last piece of advice, you will see lots of places offering cheap Disney tickets - there is no such thing as a cheap Disney ticket, to be eligible you have to sit through a hard sell timeshare seminar (and I mean hardsell and they are GOOD!). The companies subsidise the usual priced tickets in order to get you to the seminar. One word of warning: many a person has been blaise and thought it easy to go to one of these and ended up signing up for a place!
