That was beauteriffic.
I found it charming that 99% of the stuff they showed still exists in Disneyland today much as it did in 1956. They pretty much stayed on Main Street the whole time. But they had one shot of the Mark Twain at night, a few shots of the Castle, and the only thing that really gave the time period away were a handful of shots toward Tomorrowland from the Hub.
The other thing that pegged the time period pretty well were all the horses on Main Street. In addition to the horse-drawn Streetcars still running in 2006, there were horse-drawn carriages and a horse-drawn firewagon.
Oh, the poop!!
(Heheh, though not shown, there were plenty of horses and mules in Frontierland, too. Clean-up was not a fun job to have at the Park in those days.)

That motorcade day on Main Street, with everyone in period costumes and scores of turn-o-the-century vehicles was da bomb! They should do that again today!
