Souvenirs of Disneyland
I think when Walt Disney was building his park, he knew he was creating a place that was greater than the sum of its parts; that beyond just the shops, restaurants, attractions, and lands that made up his park, Walt knew he was creating memories. I can remember my parents buying my siblings and me Mickey Mouse Ears with our names stitched in them during one of our first trips to Disneyland. As a kid, those ears meant everything to me, and I couldn’t stop showing them off when we got back home. My Mother still has that hat, and as an adult, I think I now understand that those hats meant just as much to my mother as they did to us kids. You see, those early Disneyland souvenirs were an important part of the magic that each guest took back home. They would remind the owner of walks down Main Street, or flights to Neverland; of rides on the PeopleMover, or even trips to the moon and back. For my mom, they reminded her of cherished time spent with her family. While that time might feel like long-ago now, just seeing those hats we had as kids takes me right back to that moment again. While I still love a lot of what I see at the park today, Disneyland was a different place 60 years ago. When it first opened, Disneyland was a multitude of unique and eclectic stores, with a never-ending array of unusual and unique souvenirs. I believe those items reflect more than just the character of Walt and his park, but also that of an entire generation. The historical, cultural, and personal significances of these souvenirs are what makes collecting these pieces so enjoyable. However, collecting these artifacts can be a difficult task. These souvenirs were meant to be treasured, loved, worn, and utilized. Because of that, they can be difficult to find in anything close to their original condition. However, in creating this auction, I have run into some very special collectors who have risen to that challenge. Firstly, I met collector Patty Asker. On my first visit to her home, I was greeted by a miniature railroad that winded its way through a re-creation of Storybook Land. I knew immediately that I was in the presence of a committed collector. Patty’s collection of souvenirs and paraphernalia from the park is unrivaled. It was so large that it took months to sort, photograph, and catalog. At every turn I was greeted by a unique or unusual item that I had never seen before, or something that I could not believe survived. Her collection of postcards alone is the largest and most complete I have ever seen. We did our best to represent her collection in this catalog, and I hope we did it justice. Patty was not the only contributor to this auction. In fact, this auction has the largest amount of contributors we have had to date. It includes such collectors as Kevin Doherty, whose model of Main Street is absolutely breathtaking, and Jim Owen, whose attraction poster collection is unmatched. This auction also includes individuals whose connections to Disneyland are unparalleled. This includes the family of Henry Fenenbock, the owner of several shops in the park from 1955-1960, as well as the family of Imagineer John Stone, whose designs for such attractions as the “Indiana Jones Adventure” and “Splash Mountain” have influenced a whole new generation of park goers. I believe that as you browse through the pages of this catalog, you’ll find something that holds a memory for you, and that you’ll find yourself transported back into that moment. That’s the magic of what Walt created with his park. I am really proud of this catalog and I sincerely hope that you enjoy it. --Mike Van Eaton

Souvenirs of Disneyland
Dear friends, On behalf of Annette’s millions of fans throughout the world, we want to express our great appreciation to Van Eaton Galleries for their support of The Annette Funicello Research Fund for Neurological Diseases. Just as Annette had hoped when she and her husband, Glen Holt, founded the Research Fund in 1993, the fund remains dedicated to resourcing new research into the cause, treatment, and cure of Multiple Sclerosis and other neurological diseases. Remarkably, because of the organization’s commitment to minimal overhead costs, the Research Fund is able to devote well over 90% of every dollar raised for specific new research grants. Currently, our grants are funding neurological research efforts through:
The AlfredHealth teaching hospital; Melbourne, Australia
Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the University of Buffalo; Buffalo, New York
Fondazione Don Carlo Gnocchi; Milan, Italy
Department of Molecular and Cellular Physiology at LSU Health; Shreveport, Louisiana
It is through resourceful events like this one that Annette knew we could offer immediate hope to those impacted by neurological disease. Your efforts today, combined with hundreds of individual donors who support her courageous efforts to triumph over diseases of the brain (such as MS, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, ALS) will create the next wave of funding for these research grants. Thank you for participating in today’s auctions. Enjoy! With appreciation, The Board of Directors The Annette Funicello Research Fund Official web site: www.AnnetteConnection.com Email address: AnnetteFund@AnnetteConnection.com Donations: PO Box 599, Shafter, CA 93263

Disneyland Maps A conceptual map of what would become Disneyland was one of the first things Walt had his artists create in order to help him secure financing to build his park. After the park opened, early handouts would feature small stylized renditions of the park to help guests navigate to their destinations. However, nothing has captured the charm of the park quite like the early Disneyland souvenir maps. The original map was released in 1958 and was drawn by Imagineer Sam McKim. As the park evolved, so did the maps, and different series and versions were created to keep them up to date. Today, these early souvenir Disneyland maps are collected both for their artistic appeal, as well as the slice of Disneyland history they represent.

Tracing fifty years of Disney History through the postcards sold in the park, with their revised edition published in 2000, they created a visual history that is unequaled. With the help of collectors Roger Le Roque and Nick Farago, they compiled a list of every postcard known to be produced for the park.

Offered here is Patty Asker’s collection of postcards based on both editions of the Nickel Tour books. With a total of 1,458 cards, this is the most complete collection of Disneyland postcards ever offered for sale.

146. Incredible One-Of-A-Kind Miniature Disneyland Model. (Disneyland, 2002-2012) Renowned miniaturist Robert Olszewski created a series of highly detailed “Z Scale” 1/220th replicas of the buildings on Disneyland’s Main Street U.S.A. between 2002 and 2012. Although sold individually, a platform was made that would allow collectors to take the buildings off their bases and replicate the entirety of Main Street, complete with miniature train. Very few of these complete platforms and sets were sold, and even fewer were completed. However, this particular model got into the hands of collector Kevin Doherty, who completed the set and began creating modifications to make the model even more detailed and historically accurate. Doherty added an additional train, both of which stop at the Main Street station, a front gate, additional Monorail lighted track with 2 Monorails, additional figures, backdrops, landscaping, and he enhanced the lighting in the buildings. Doherty also adjusted the lampposts so that they twinkle as if gas-lit, built and added the Grand Canyon Diorama and Primeval World attraction, added the Main Street Electrical Parade in the backlot that lights in over 80 different ways , installed and lighted the Monsanto “Home of the Future”, and constructed and powered a track underneath the platform so that the vehicles on Main Street move up and down the street. Doherty also custom built and added many backstage signs and elements such as vehicles from the PeopleMover, Indiana Jones, Matterhorn, Dumbo, Teacups and other attractions. The base itself was modified with custom plaques and buttons for the lighting, trains, Main Street vehicles and custom “Sounds of Main Street” including Main Street Music, Walt explaining Main Street, Jack Wagner’s Train, Gate entrance, Main Street Electrical Parade announcements, and more. This truly one-of-a-kind model measures 72”x35” and comes with a custom plexiglass cover. A piece that can only be appreciated in person, it is an incredible homage to the park by an incredible collector. $15,000-$20,000 38

Main Street U.S.A. “Main Street U.S.A. is America at the turn of the century - the crossroads of an era. The gas lamp and the electric lamp - the horse-drawn car and the auto car. Main Street is everyone’s hometown - the heart-line of America.” - Walt Disney, July 17,1955. Taking inspiration from early 1900s America, Main Street U.S.A. is the first land that guests encounter upon entering the park. Due in part to budgetary issues, some of the earliest Main Street shops were sponsored by businesses which included Bank of America, Hallmark, Upjohn Pharmacy Co., Ruggles China & Gifts, and more. Over the years, popular Main Street locations have included the Main Street Emporium, Carnation Ice Cream Parlor, the Disney Gallery, and many others. While some of the shops, restaurants, and attractions have changed over the years, the feeling of Main Street U.S.A. has remained the same, bringing happiness to its countless number of visitors with its turn of the century American charm.”

The Disneyland Railroad Inspired by Walt Disney’s love for trains, the Disneyland Railroad was planned as a highlight of the park from its earliest conception. In 1953, Disney solicited every major railroad for corporate sponsorship, but the only response came from the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, which is often referred to as just “Santa Fe”. On March 25, 1955, the sponsorship became official, and the “Santa Fe and Disneyland Railroad” was born. In nearly continuous operation since opening day on July 17, 1955, the Disneyland Railroad has seen several modifications over the years including the “Grand Canyon Diorama” in 1958, and the “Primeval World Diorama” expansion in 1966. Additionally, it has had several modifications to its route to accommodate the new attractions built throughout the park. Despite its several changes, the Railroad remains as a testament to the character and vision of the man behind the magic of Disneyland.

Bank of America Since Main Street U.S.A. was designed to resemble and act as a functioning small town, it makes sense that Walt had envisioned having a fully functional bank operate within the park. From a practical standpoint, providing guests with the means to withdraw additional funds to spend at the park was a very appealing idea. As such, one of the first sponsors of Disneyland was Bank of America, which operated their Main Street location until the early 1990s. In addition to being a fully operational bank, complete with an early 1900’s vault, the bank offered some of the earliest “park guides” which often included beautiful imagery and stylized park maps. The Bank of America location later became “The Bank of Main Street”, and is now currently the location for the "Disney Gallery".

184. “Great Moments With Mr. Lincoln” Animatronic Hand. (Disneyland, 1965) Extremely rare and unusual “animatronic” hand from the “Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln” attraction. Consigned by the grandson of a machinist at WED, the consignor was told that this was Abraham Lincoln’s left hand from the attraction. Although we cannot verify that it is actually Lincoln’s hand, we can verify that it is a WED engineered hand from that era and most likely from that attraction. Based on the amount of articulation and detail, this piece is very likely Lincoln’s hand. The 8.5”x5.5” hand features wood-covered metal articulated fingers. The wood was used to give the hand form. The hand also includes a plastic palm form, and a metal machined skeleton. Two of the original pistons, the thumb and little finger, remain intact. In good condition with some wear throughout from use and age. A fantastic example of early “animatronic” engineering and the only example from this era we have seen. $4,000-$6,000 56

Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln Partially influenced by his childhood adoration of President Lincoln, Walt felt the park could benefit from a tribute to the U.S. Presidents. In the late 1950s, limitations with engineering, space, and funds, halted the work on what would later become the “Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln” attraction. The attraction first appeared at the New York World’s Fair in 1964, when technology had advanced enough to create such a feat, and was duplicated in 1965 for use at Disneyland. The attraction had a long life at the park, but was met with controversy when it closed in 1973 in favor of a biographical film on Walt titled, “The Walt Disney Story”. Public backlash led to a combination of the two attractions in 1975 titled, “The Walt Disney Story featuring Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln”. The show’s early use of animatronics with iconic historical figures and events, has made it one of the most memorable attractions at the park.

Main Street Magic Shop Accomplished Magician and illusion inventor Merv Taylor teamed up with James Hume when Walt Disney personally asked him to be a part of Disneyland’s opening. The pair created the Main Street Magic Shop, "Merlin's Magic Shop" in Fantasyland, and a gift shop at the Disneyland Hotel. Taylor was so enthralled with the opportunity before him at Disneyland, that he sold his Los Angeles magic shop as well as the rights to some of his inventions in order to concentrate solely on his Disneyland shops. The Main Street Magic Shop quickly became a guest favorite, full of a wide range of magic souvenirs to purchase and skilled magicians who would demonstrate the tricks to the delight of mesmerized and entertained park guests. While many leases at Disneyland ran out between 1960 and 1967, Taylor and Hume were able to retain theirs until Merv Taylor's death in 1974. The Magic Shop has gone through several owners since, but remains a memorable landmark of Main Street U.S.A. 188

Ruggles China and Gifts Created by Phil and Sophie Papel, “Ruggles China and Gifts” was selected by Disney to be among the first few shops to operate on Main Street U.S.A. when the park opened in 1955. Phil Papel’s experience in the giftware industry and his commitment to quality and customer service made him an excellent partner for Disney. When Papel was informed he had been selected to be an opening day merchant on Main Street, he decided to name his shop after Charlie Ruggles, an actor in the 1932 film, “If I Had a Million”, in which the owner of a China Shop receives an unexpected gift of a million dollars. To Papel, the possibilities of what could happen from a partnership with Disney rivaled the level of excitement that the actor felt in the film, and “Ruggles China and Gifts” was born. The shop flourished on Main Street, and the company would grow to have numerous retail chains and sales in over 15 countries. While Ruggles’ partnership with Disney eventually ended in 1964, the high quality souvenirs from this cherished shop are still sought-after today as reminders of the great early days of Disneyland.

Disneyland Hats From the day the gates opened in 1955, hats have been one of Disneyland’s go-to merchandising items and have led to some of the more interesting and unique early park souvenirs. These Disneyland hats have ranged in style from the iconic “Mickey Ears” cap, to more unusual items such as Donald Duck shaped “squeaker hats”, land-themed “keppy caps”, and hats adorned with character imagery from classic Disney films. With guests spending hours of enjoyment walking around the park in the California sunshine, hats were just as much a necessity as they were a fanfavorite souvenir. As such, a variety of hats have been sold within many of the various shops on Main Street as well as throughout the different lands of the park. These timeless souvenirs have become charming additions to the collections of many Disney enthusiasts and are highly collectible today.

Main Street Tobacco Shop One of the more iconic original Main Street U.S.A. shops was the “Main Street Tobacco Shop”. Nestled between the Main Street Cinema and the Magic Shop, the Tobacco Shop was easy to spot as it featured an often-photographed cigar store Indian just outside the storefront. The Tobacco Shop was the go-to place for exotic and unique tobacco, cigars, and smoking accessories from around the world. During Disneyland’s earlier days, smoking was allowed within most areas of the park, just not within the attractions themselves, and most attraction lines included an ashtray at the entrance. The Tobacco Shop closed in 1991, however the cigar store Indian remains. Early souvenirs from the Tobacco Shop have become quite collectible as slices of Disneyland history during the early days of Main Street.

The Upjohn Pharmacy The Upjohn Company opened their Main Street U.S.A. location, “The Upjohn Pharmacy”, on Disneyland’s opening day in 1955. The Pharmacy was quite possibly the most authentic of all the Main Street shops, as the Upjohn Company itself was founded in 1886, and the Upjohn Pharmacy contained approximately 1,000 original pharmaceutical artifacts, some of which were hundreds of years old. The Upjohn Pharmacy was a unique Main Street shop in that it didn't actually sell anything. Rather, the Pharmacy was more of an educational exhibit with staff that would answer any questions intrigued park guests might have about some of the peculiar items on display. One of the more memorable aspects to the Pharmacy was the glass jar of Upjohn vitamins the store would give to park guests, free of charge. The exhibit closed in 1970, but original Upjohn souvenirs remain quite popular with those who remember the unique and informative exhibit from Disneyland’s earliest years.

Main Street Market House When Disneyland first opened, the “Main Street Market House” was known as the “Swift & Co. Market House”, sponsored by Swift’s Premium Meats. The shop had a variety of market items including candy, pastries, gourmet food items, and kitchen utensils. In 1970, “Swift” was dropped from the name when the lease agreement ended, and the “Main Street Market House” has remained the title to this day. For decades, the Market House has been a fun and unique location within Disneyland, featuring turn-of-the-century décor and oldfashioned telephones with pre-recorded conversations guests could listen to. In 2013, the Market House was converted into a Starbucks. While it received renovations, the Market House kept much of the feel and décor of the earlier versions of the shop while still facilitating the needs of the new Starbucks business. Since the Market House has been a part of Disneyland since the very beginning, original souvenirs from the shop are cherished by collectors. 348

Jack Olsen In the mid-1950s, when Disneyland was nearing completion, a problem arose with park merchandise. Disney had an existing Merchandising Division in New York that operated under principles established by Disney’s Merchandising Executive Kay Kamen in the 1930s. However, Disney’s method had generally been to grant companies the rights to use Disney characters on their existing merchandise. For the new park, the need arose for products which had no existing licensee. To oversee the new park merchandise, Walt hired an independent seller, Jack Olsen, who had worked with Disney in the past, to be the on-site Merchandise Manager. Under Olsen’s management, Disneyland used new merchandising practices that led to the much needed souvenir income that helped make the park a success during its earliest of years. Additionally, Olsen brought animation cels back into public sale for the first time since Courvoisier Galleries gave up their license in the 1940s. Without Jack Olsen and the successful sale of Disneyland merchandise, the park, and The Walt Disney Company as a whole, wouldn’t have survived as we know it today. Throughout this catalog, you will find items that belonged to Jack Olsen during his time as Merchandise Manager for Disneyland. Many of these items are in various stages of development, as Olsen would be in charge of approving them for park sale. These rare and unique items represent an important part of Disneyland history and are lot numbers: 262, 328, 329, 382, 554, 766, 805, 831, 836, and 905.

Galli, a noted and popular Illustration and advertising artist, was flown to the Disney Studio in the 1960s to meet Walt Disney and present him with ideas for a travel poster for United Air Lines. Disney suggested that Galli tour the park to get a feel and understanding of Walt’s vision. After the tour, Galli came up with the idea of combining two memorable images of the park, the exotic “Jungle Cruise” attraction and the elegant “Sleeping Beauty Castle”. This study painting was presented to the studio and, after a few alterations to clothing and the positioning of the castle, the final artwork was realized. This piece has been signed by Galli in the lower-right corner. Retained by the Galli family until 2014, this painting is one of the only examples of original Disney poster artwork that we have ever seen. An iconic image and an incredible artifact of Disneyland history. Painting measures 30”x18.75” on artist’s board. In good condition with some edge and corner wear. $40,000-$50,000 108

Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room The first attraction to feature audio-animatronics, “Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room” was an immediate success when it debuted in 1963, due in part to the popularity of tiki culture and the advanced technology used throughout the attraction. The original sponsor of the attraction was United Air Lines, who, in a nearly-perfect compliment to the attraction, was offering promotions to the new state of Hawaii at the time the attraction opened. By 1976, the Dole Food Company had become the sponsor of the attraction, bringing with it the fanfavorite “Dole Whip” frozen dessert. Some of the most popular elements of the attraction have been the Polynesian-themed props, the colorful animatronic birds seen throughout, and the iconic cast member clothing. Early artifacts and souvenirs from this attraction are among the most sought-after today, as its unique style and bold use of color have remained quite popular.

Jungle Cruise One of the more ambitious attractions that debuted on the park’s opening day was the “Jungle Cruise”. The thrilling boating excursion through a simulated African jungle was met with changes and challenges from its conception to present day. Originally, Walt had wanted to use real animals throughout the attraction, but mechanical ones were decided upon when the Imagineers realized it would be impossible to get the animals to behave as they needed them to. Additionally, as Disney was struggling to finance the park, the attraction had to be created on a very minimal budget. This led to creative solutions such as uprooting the existing orange trees and replanting them upside down to create some of the jungle ambiance. While today we know the “Jungle Cruise” to be full of joke-cracking tour guides and a certain level of cheesiness to the light-hearted fun, originally the attraction operated as a serious, authentic attempt to recreate an animal-viewing experience, much like Disney’s “True Life” nature documentaries of which the attraction was based on.

Mark Twain Riverboat Before Disneyland opened on July 17, 1955, the “Mark Twain Riverboat” was already historically important as the first functioning riverboat to be built in the United States in approximately 50 years. Weighing in at nearly 150 tons, the Riverboat sails the “Rivers of America” and gives a beautiful vantage point to surrounding park landmarks. Within the first few days of operation in 1955, unclear capacity limits nearly caused the Riverboat to capsize, leading to the 300 passenger limit kept till this day. An enjoyable and often tranquil attraction amongst the excited pace of Disneyland, the “Mark Twain Riverboat” has earned its place in over 60 years of Disneyland history. The popularity of the attraction has led to the Riverboat’s likeness and name to appear on a variety of Disneyland souvenirs from even the earliest of days at the park.

Sailing Ship Columbia To help increase the visual appeal and amount of guest traffic to the “Rivers of America”, Walt felt a second ship was needed to join the “Mark Twain Riverboat”. The “Sailing Ship Columbia” was built and debuted in 1958, having been modeled after the “Columbia Rediviva”, the first American ship to circumnavigate the globe. However, only one known photo exists of the “Columbia Rediviva”, so a team of Imagineers used that photo along with documents from the Library of Congress in order to recreate the vessel. In a similar manner to how the “Mark Twain Riverboat” was the first functioning Riverboat to be built in the U.S. in approximately 50 years, the “Sailing Ship Columbia” was the first three-masted barque to be built in the U.S. in over 100 years. In addition to entertaining guests with its journeys around the “Rivers of America”, the ship has spent over 20 years functioning as Captain Hook’s pirate ship in the popular nighttime show, “Fantasmic!”.

Tom Sawyer Island In 1956, “Tom Sawyer Island” opened as an adventure-filled attraction with places to climb, explore, and witness some of the best scenic views in the park. Themed after “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer”, the Island has seen little change over the years in comparison to other Disneyland attractions. However, in 2007, the Island received pirate renovations, losing much of its “Tom Sawyer” theme and receiving the title, “Pirate’s Lair on Tom Sawyer Island”. This change coincided with the theatrical release of Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End”. The Island has been the influence behind a number of great early park souvenirs, including maps, artwork, and “Tom Sawyer” themed items.

Indian Village From 1955-1971, the “Indian Village” contained live entertainment, artifacts, and souvenirs with a Native American theme. One of the more prominent features of the Village was the set of ceremonial dances performed by actual Native American tribal performers.

The popular souvenir location, the “Indian Trading Post”, offered unique Disneyland items, many of which were created with authentic “Indian Beading”. The “Indian Village” was replaced in 1971 by what is now “Critter Country”, and park souvenirs from this wellremembered location make for great pieces of early Disneyland history.

Country Bear Jamboree/Critter Country/Splash Mountain The “Country Bear Jamboree” attraction opened at Walt Disney World in 1971. Its immediate popularity led to the opening of the attraction in Disneyland the following year in the new area titled “Bear Country”, which had formerly been the location of the “Indian Village”. By 1988, excitement and guest traffic in the area had waned, and “Bear Country” was renamed “Critter Country”, with the new “Splash Mountain” attraction set to open the following year. The hope was that “Splash Mountain” would be able to reinvigorate public interest in that section of the park. “Splash Mountain” was a huge success and helped bring new life to the area, despite going over-budget and requiring the re-use of some animatronics from the “America Sings” attraction. Its interesting casts of characters and catchy songs have made “Critter Country” a very whimsical and unique location of the park, with its original souvenirs and artifacts often being very fun and character-driven.

623. John Stone Imagineering Model of New Orleans Square. (Disneyland, 1970s-80s) In the mid 1970s, Imagineer John Stone built a model of Disneyland’s New Orleans Square as part of a portfolio of work he was presenting to WED. The model was so accurate and detailed that in the 1980s when a redesign of the “Pirates of Caribbean” facade within New Orleans Square was proposed, WED used Stone’s model as their starting point. A new queue area and bridge for the “Pirates of Caribbean” attraction was designed using this model, as well as improvements in traffic flow throughout the area. This model is constructed of foam-core, paper, chipboard, and wood, and is completely hand-painted in acrylic paint and micron pen. The highly detailed railings, windows, and storefronts, are all hand-built by Stone. Details include a beautifully rendered “Court of Angels” and the entire “French Quarter”. A “carpet” of felt represents traffic flow areas, while seating areas for restaurants and fenced areas are left blank. Upon the completion of projects, models like these are usually destroyed, or taken apart and reused for other projects. Stone was so proud of this model and the work he had done in New Orleans Square, that he brought the model home, where it has remained with his family until now. The entire model measures 48”x68”. In very good condition overall. Special shipping arrangements will apply. $20,000-$30,000 www.vegalleries.com

629. Marc Davis “Pirates of Caribbean” Original Concept Art. (Disneyland, 1960s) Incredible Marc Davis early original concept art for the “Pirates of Caribbean” attraction. Pirates was the last exhibit at the park that Walt Disney actually participated in designing. It was originally envisioned as a walk-through wax museum attraction which would showcase various pirates throughout history. Disney turned to legendary animator, director and Imagineer Marc Davis to create concepts for the attraction. This amazing original concept piece is one of Davis’ early ideas for a tableau in the attraction. Accomplished in ink and watercolor on 17”x14” artists board, the artwork features a scene with Captain Kid and his crew. As the attraction developed, and with the success of the boat ride concept of “It’s a Small World” at the 1964 New York World’s Fair, Disney decided to employ a similar concept on “Pirates of the Caribbean”. Although the idea of using historical figures in the attraction was scrapped, it was these early concepts by Davis that not only shaped Disney’s vision for the ride, but influenced the look and feel for all of New Orleans Square. The artwork is in good condition with a small corner of the board missing, which does not affect the image. There is some staining and yellowing from age. $15,000-$20,000 186
Pirates of the Caribbean Opening in March of 1967, the “Pirates of the Caribbean” attraction was the last to be overseen by Walt before his passing. During the attraction’s early conceptual phases, it was planned to be a walk-through educational wax museum that would pay homage to early historical pirates. However, with the popularity of the “It’s a Small World” attraction at the 1964 World’s Fair, Disney decided to incorporate similar ride elements within Pirates, and the attraction was set on the path to what we know it as today. 630
The attraction’s popularity has led to a wide variety of park souvenirs including doubloons, piratethemed memorabilia, and park-exclusive postcards.

The Disney Gallery While many park guests were able to enjoy the final products of the Imagineer’s hard work such as the attractions, restaurants, and other design elements of the park, most of the Imagineer's original concept art went unseen by the public during Disneyland’s earlier days. To help bring this artwork to the public eye and to give appreciation to their Imagineers, “The Disney Gallery” opened in 1987 as a place to both showcase the artwork and host special exhibits. In the early 1960s, Walt began construction on an apartment located in New Orleans Square that would host special VIPs. When Walt passed away, the room had nearly finished construction, but Walt’s brother Roy felt the room couldn't be fully enjoyed knowing Walt wasn't around to use it, so the room was scrapped. Eventually, this room became the home of “The Disney Gallery”, and was recreated to look like Walt’s original vision for the room. The new Gallery showcases the artwork of the Imagineers and sells signed replicas of some of the Imagineers' original artwork. These original Disney Gallery pieces are still very much collected today, and offer an exciting look into the minds of the artists who helped create Disneyland.

Club 33 Inspired by the various VIP lounges Walt experienced at the 1964 New York World’s Fair, the mysterious members-only “Club 33” has intrigued park guests since it first opened in 1967. Among the unknown elements of the Club is how it received its name, with the two most popular explanations mentioning the park’s 33 original corporate sponsors, and the Club’s location at 33 Royal St. The Club was originally intended for the exclusive use of Walt’s friends and family, as well as for entertaining other VIPs. However, limited public membership opportunities have opened since Walt’s passing. Decorated by famed Hollywood set designer Emile Kuri and with assistance by Walt’s wife Lillian, the Club features many original antiques, Disney film props, and even animation cels. While some of the Club’s secrets have become public knowledge, original souvenirs and artifacts from the Club are very difficult to come by and provide excellent insights into “Club 33” in its early days.

Haunted Mansion Even before Disneyland opened, the idea for an eerie manor attraction had been discussed by Walt and his Imagineers. Concept designs by Harper Goff showed early renditions of what would become the “Haunted Mansion” in as early as 1951. The original plan for the Mansion was for it to be a walk-through attraction, but changes in design, increased animatronics, and Imagineer ingenuity, helped turn the Mansion into the iconic Omnimover dark-ride that we know it as today. The “Haunted Mansion” was an immediate success, with its popularity lending itself to the creation of some of the most fun and unique souvenirs from the park. Many early Mansion-themed souvenirs feature popular imagery and characters from the attraction, and the spooky nature of the Mansion has helped maintain its public appeal to this day.

(Disneyland, 1969) Originally conceived in 1951 by Disney artist Harper Goff, then finally completed in 1969 after 7 years of construction, the “Haunted Mansion” was not only one of the most complicated ride attractions ever created by Disneyland Imagineers, it also immediately became one of the crowd’s favorites. In order to move riders underground and off the actual Disneyland Park property, which was necessary because New Orleans Square had already run out of buildable space, a pair of elevators were constructed. Designed as a room with “no windows and no doors”, the room featured four portraits on the walls that would “stretch” as the room descends, revealing more to the portraits than originally met the eye. The paintings would have to be replaced on occasion as the constant “stretching” would wear down the canvas. Hand-painted canvases, such as this, were used on the attraction from 1969 to 1972 and were eventually replaced with easier-to-produce printed canvas images. This incredibly rare original “Haunted Mansion” stretch portrait painting was based on designs by Marc Davis and is accomplished in acrylic on heavy canvas by one of the Disney Studio artists.

Sleeping Beauty Castle Built during the production of Disney’s animated feature film, “Sleeping Beauty”, and inspired by Germany’s “Neuschwanstein Castle”, the park’s iconic “Sleeping Beauty Castle” has become Disneyland’s logo as well as one of the more prominent features of Fantasyland. Originally, the Castle was to be called “Snow White Castle”, but was changed to help promote the upcoming release of “Sleeping Beauty”. In 1957, guests were able to walk the previously inaccessible and empty upstairs area, featuring dioramas from the film created in the style of Eyvind Earle.

Alice in Wonderland & Mad Tea Party Based on the 1951 animated Disney adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s “Alice” books, the “Alice in Wonderland” and “Mad Tea Party” attractions have earned a strong fan base for their bold uses of color and unique décors.

Dumbo the Flying Elephant The animated feature film “Dumbo” was Disney’s most financially successful film in the 1940s, and the popularity of the character made him a desirable addition to Fantasyland during Disneyland’s opening in 1955. “Dumbo the Flying Elephant” is a rotating carousel-like attraction where guests can maneuver their vehicle up and down with a hydraulic arm. The elephants were originally going to be painted pink, based off of the hallucination scene of the film, but upon Walt’s objections, they were painted grey to better resemble Dumbo. The attraction has remained popular at the park, with several refurbishments and alterations over the years to ensure the iconic flying elephant will likely be around for years to come.

Peter Pan’s Flight One of the most popular attractions in Fantasyland, “Peter Pan’s Flight” has captivated park guests since Disneyland’s opening day in 1955. Based on the 1953 Disney film, the attraction originally opened with guests embodying the role of Peter Pan while soaring over London, Neverland, and Skull Rock, and would see popular characters like Captain Hook, Smee, and the infamous Crocodile. However, guests had trouble with the concept, as “Peter Pan’s Flight” didn't actually contain the Peter Pan character. Thus, when Fantasyland underwent a major refurbishment in 1983, updates were made to the attraction including the addition of a Peter Pan character. The attraction continues to remain a fan-favorite, and a number of early Disneyland souvenirs feature imagery of the characters from the film.

Chicken of the Sea Pirate Ship Restaurant One of the more unique dining locations to come to the park, the “Chicken of the Sea Pirate Ship Restaurant”, sponsored by Chicken of the Sea, served up several tuna-based dishes at the counter below the deck. The Restaurant was a guest favorite, and when Chicken of the Sea and Disneyland ended their partnership in the late 1960s, the Restaurant continued to sell tuna-based dishes for over a decade more, but under the name “Captain Hook’s Galley”. During the “New Fantasyland” renovations in the early 1980s, the Restaurant was planned to be relocated, but the wood and concrete Pirate Ship would not be able to withstand the move.

Snow White’s Scary Adventures Originally titled “Snow White’s Adventures” and designed for park guests to embody Snow White as she progresses through scenes from the feature film, “Snow White’s Scary Adventures” has seen a number of alterations since it debuted on Disneyland’s opening day in 1955. In a very similar manner to “Peter Pan’s Flight”, guests didn't quite grasp the concept of embodying the main character, and Snow White was later added to the attraction. Additionally, the 1983 “New Tomorrowland” refurbishments saw the attraction re-envisioned with more light-hearted scenes of the Dwarfs and Snow White, to better balance the occasionally too-scary attraction. 814

Mickey Mouse Club & Mickey Mouse Club Circus Walt Disney’s second television program, the “Mickey Mouse Club”, was a children’s anthology program featuring child actors called “Mouseketeers”. The show was an instant success, with some Mouseketeers becoming so popular, that they would go on to star in film roles, promote products, and achieve other great things in the worlds of entertainment and philanthropy. The show initially ran from 1955 to 1959, and helped promote and fund Disneyland during its earliest years. At the park itself, the “Mickey Mouse Club Circus” ran from 1955 to early 1956, and is infamous for being one of Walt Disney’s greatest failures. Despite featuring some of the famous Mouseketeers from the television program, live animals, and talented performers such as George Keller, the novelty of the Circus was lost among the other one-of-a-kind attractions only viewable at Disneyland. However, the “Mickey Mouse Club” and “Mickey Mouse Club Circus” helped launch careers for many aspiring entertainers, and original souvenirs from those early days of the park and quite collectible and difficult to come by. 818 817

Matterhorn Bobsleds Designed as the first roller coaster in the world to use a tubular steel track, the “Matterhorn Bobsleds” attraction came about from very humble beginnings. During the initial construction for Disneyland, the excess dirt from the construction of “Sleeping Beauty Castle” was moved between Fantasyland and Tomorrowland. That mound of dirt was used as a picnic area before the idea of a toboggan ride began to surface. The attraction officially debuted in 1959, having been designed to allow the “Skyway” to pass directly through it. Over the years, the Matterhorn has seen several refurbishments including one in 1978 which added improved design components throughout, and saw the addition of “Harold”, the iconic abominable snowman. Additional refurbishments have occurred in more recent years, which have helped keep the popular attraction up to date and enjoyable as time and technology have progressed. As one of the four “Mountains of Disneyland”, the fan-favorite attraction has been featured on numerous Disneyland souvenirs since it first opened.

Skyway When Walt learned of an aerial ropeway attraction being built in Switzerland in 1955, he immediately had his Imagineers design one for his park. When the “Skyway” was completed in 1956, it was the first of its kind in the United States. It debuted as two separate attractions, “Skyway to Tomorrowland” and “Skyway to Fantasyland” with each costing separate admission. Approximately three years later, Matterhorn Mountain was built right in the path of the "Skyway", in part to camouflage the attraction's support system. The “Skyway” eventually closed in 1994 due to safety and legal concerns, and the funds saved from its operation were used in the creation of the “Indiana Jones Adventure” attraction which would open the following year.

It’s a Small World When Walt Disney was approached by Pepsi and UNICEF to build an attraction for them to debut at the 1964 New York World’s Fair, he was only given 11 months to complete the attraction before the fair would open. With Disney artist Mary Blair at the helm of design and color choices, and Marc Davis and Rolly Crump designing scenes, characters, and toys, the water-based dark ride featuring children of the world was incredibly successful. The attraction sold 10 million tickets to adults and children, with proceeds donated to UNICEF. When the attraction opened in Disneyland in 1966, additional scenes were added from the World’s Fair version, and the success of the boatride method influenced a change in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” attraction from its original walk-through concept. The iconic music and imagery of the “It’s a Small World” attraction have led to the creation of many early park souvenirs, including records, dolls, toys, and more.

860. Rare Disneyland “Jet” Attraction Poster. Disneyland, 1956-1961) An extremely rare and unusual hand-silkscreened poster for the “Astrojets” attraction at Disneyland. Astrojets opened in 1956 in Tomorrowland, and this original Bjorn Aronson designed poster is the same one that was made for the opening of the attraction. However, in 1961, American Air Lines came out with an “Astrojet” Airliner and it is thought that Disney removed the name from its signage at that time. Rather than make an entirely new poster, the word “Astrojet” has been silkscreened over and replaced with the word “Jet”. The “Astrojet” lettering can still be faintly seen when looking closely at the front and reverse of the poster. An extremely rare variant of an already extremely rare poster, this is the only the second example we have ever seen. Measures 54”x36”. In very good to fine condition. $3,000-$4,000 262

The attraction opened at Disneyland in 1977 after the huge success it had in Walt Disney World where it debuted two years prior. “Space Mountain” has become a staple of Tomorrowland, with consistent lines of eager parkgoers awaiting their high-speed voyage.

Disneyland Hotel When Disneyland was still under construction in the early 1950s, Walt needed a hotel built to accommodate his park guests, as the park was located in what was, at the time, a fairly remote area of California. Since Walt was using the full extent of his funds in the creation of the park, he made a deal with businessman Jack Wrather to build the Disneyland Hotel. The Hotel opened in 1955 and grew and improved over the years just as the park did. Under Wrather’s operation, the Hotel added three new towers, the Sierra, Marina, and Bonita, during the 1960s-70s. After Wrather passed, Disney bought the Wrather Company and took ownership of the Hotel. The Hotel has been a memorable location for many Disneyland guests during their first visits to the park, with a rich history all its own.

EPCOT Center Described by Walt as Disney Production’s most exciting and challenging assignment ever attempted, the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, or EPCOT, was a futuristic city designed to show off imagination and ingenuity. Walt’s original ideas for EPCOT involved a fully-sustainable city that would be home to approximately 20,000 residents who would live, work, play, and contribute within the community. The location would be under a dome for ideal weather conditions every day, and would run off of both a high-speed transit system and PeopleMover routes to take guests to and from their homes. While design elements for EPCOT began in the 1960s, after Walt passed away in 1966, the project changed dramatically without Walt’s direction. Currently, EPCOT is comprised of two sections, Future World and World Showcase, and acts similarly to the World’s Fair, in that it showcases technological advancements and world cultures.

Tokyo Disneyland Just four years after the construction contract was signed, Tokyo Disneyland would open in 1983, and would entertain millions of eager park guests for decades to come. The park is largely similar to both Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom and features Cinderella Castle as its icon; however, it was strategically built with larger open spaces to better accommodate large crowds. Tokyo Disneyland continues to be the most profitable Disney Resort, and in the years moving forward, Disney hopes to better incorporate Japanese culture into the park, creating a cultural blend between the U.S.A. and Japan and giving the park its own unique feel.
