1953 DISNEYLAND PROSPECTUS WED FILE COPY 1. (Disneyland, c.1953-67) In 1953, Walt Disney’s dream to build a theme park was met by opposition and difficulty at almost every turn. Unable to get financing from his own studio, and even after mortgaging his own home, Disney was still millions of dollars away from being able to break ground on his park. In September of 1953, Roy Disney was able to arrange a series of meetings with potential investors in New York City, including the major TV Studios and several banks. Walt knew that he would need more than just words to describe his park, he would need visual aids and a detailed explanation of exactly what his “Theme Park” would be.
Main Street… A turn of the century Main Street U.S.A., Disney describes this land as the Shopping District of Disneyland. Three blocks long, it includes the Disneyland Emporium… ”where you can buy almost anything and everything unusual”, meant to be paired with a mail-order catalog for those that cannot visit the park. True-Life Adventureland… “Here you may see magnificently plumed birds and fantastic fish from all over the world, and which may be purchased and shipped anywhere in the U.S.” … ”Where you embark in a colorful Explorer’s boat with a native guide for a cruise down the river of romance… Glide through the Everglades past birds and animals living in their natural habitat… Alligators lurk along the banks, and otters and turtles play in the water about you.”
Walt called on artist Herb Ryman to create the first large map of what Disneyland would be, based on his own descriptions. Drawn on a translucent paper called vellum, the map was made into a presentation piece for investors. At the same time, a 10-page prospectus was created describing the various lands and attractions of the park. A smaller hand-colored version of Ryman’s presentation map was produced photographically and attached to each prospectus. Also included was a reproduction of Imagineer Marvin Davis’ detailed plot plan for the park.
The World of Tomorrow… ”where fascinating exhibits and the miracles of science and industry are displayed…” Among the exhibits are a Diving Bell, a Monorail Train, the Little Parkway system where children drive scale model motorcars, the Magic House of Tomorrow, and the gigantic Rocket Space Ship to The Moon. Lilliputian Land… “a Miniature American village inhabited by mechanical people nine inches high who sing and dance and talk to you…”
It is not known how few of these prospectus were made, but they remain among the most rare of Disney Artifacts, with only one surfacing for public auction in the last 20 years. The prospectus offered here was used as a WED File Copy, and was discovered in a group of WED documents from Marty Sklar that date from the early 1960s. As such, it is unknown how many of the materials in this prospectus date from 1953, or if some of the materials were added a few years later to complete the File Copy for WED Imagineering reference.
Fantasy Land… ”a wonderful land of Fairy Tales come true within the walls of a great medieval castle whose towers loom seventy feet in the air.” Recreation Land… ”a shady park set aside for reservations by clubs, schools, or other groups…”
Archived within the standard blue folder used by WED in the 1960s and marked “Disneyland” on the cover, the prospectus opens to the fold-out copy of Herb Ryman’s original concept. Measuring 18”x31” unfolded, the concept was hand-colored using ink and colored pencils. Even in this early concept, Main Street, The Hub, and Tomorrowland are easily recognizable, as are such landmarks as the Rivers of America and the Jungle Cruise, although not in their final locations. Within the 10 page description we get a better idea of Walt’s vision for the world’s first “Theme Park”.
Frontier Country… ”where the Stagecoach meets the train and the Riverboat for its trip down the river to New Orleans… along Frontier Street is a Harness Shop, a Blacksmith shop, Livery stable, Assayers Office, Sheriff’s office and jail…”
The prospectus describes 10 key areas of the park, all of which made it to the final Disneyland in one form or another: The Railroad… Always intended to surround the park, Disney describes the railroad as the first stop for any visitor… a chance to get a skyline view of the park before exploring it.
The prospectus ends by unfolding an 11”x11” Marvin Davis plot plan. It is within this folder that we can see what Walt Disney’s original vision and purpose for the park was…. “A Place for people to find happiness and knowledge.” The prospectus gives us an unprecedented and rarely seen look into the mind of Walt Disney and his hopes and dreams for his park. Truly a museum quality piece, this prospectus is the very beginning of what would become Disneyland.
Mickey Mouse Club… ”The best known club in America has its headquarters in Disneyland…” Holiday Land… “A showplace of special attractions that change with the seasons…”

VAN EATON GALLERIES PRESENTS: A HISTORY OF DISNEYLAND & WALT DISNEY WORLD Walt Disney knew that if his park was going to succeed, he would need to surround himself with talented and creative individuals who would help turn his dream into a reality. In 1953, Disney created WED Enterprises as a division to help design and build Disneyland. Walt formed a core group of artists, designers, and engineers, many of whom were borrowed from the Walt Disney Studio, who would be able to take his ideas and build upon them. WED Enterprises would later become Walt Disney Imagineering, as a combination of the words “imagination” and “engineering.” Walt’s talented pool of artists and designers became known as “Imagineers,” and it is their original photographs, documents and other artifacts that provide us with a historical record of the creation of Disneyland.
2. 1954 Disneyland Plot Plan. (Disneyland, 1954) A very large early brownline plot plan of Disneyland created by Imagineer Marvin Davis during the construction of the park. Davis, who drew the first diagrammatic sketch for Disneyland in August of 1953, worked closely with Walt to achieve the look and layout that helped turn Walt’s dream into a reality. The brownline features Davis’ design with a revision date of 6-7-54. The plot plan features several lands and attractions that would ultimately not make it to opening day, including Holiday Land, Recreation Land, and Adventure Island. This early rendition of the park’s layout gives us a scarcely seen and historically important look into the development of Disneyland and the minds of the people who built it. Linenbacked for its preservation, the plot plan measures approximately 42.5”x61.5” and is in very good condition with some spots of discoloration and wear from its original use. $8,000-$10,000 6

The collection features (20) color slides showing the construction of Main Street and other areas of the park, (2) slides showing the removal of the Pirate Ship Restaurant for the New Fantasyland, and (13) images of the park during its early days of operation. While Walt had several photographers documenting the construction of the park, many of the pictures were shot in black-and-white, making these color images quite rare and desirable. Several of these slides were used in the creation of issue 28 of the popular E-Ticket Magazine, and a copy of this issue is included with the slides. Each slide measures 2”x2” and the collection is in very good condition. $600-$800

SESSION ONE Considered the “Second Imagineer” after Walt himself, Harper Goff started working on Walt’s “Disneylandia” project as early as 1951, during pre-production work on 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. While “Disneylandia”, Walt’s original Americana-inspired traveling show, was not to be, Walt’s basic idea would develop into what would ultimately become Disneyland. Goff’s well-known contributions to Disneyland include early design work for Main Street and the Jungle Cruise, and Goff would also later provide concept artwork for Epcot Center’s World Showcase.

VAN EATON GALLERIES PRESENTS: A HISTORY OF DISNEYLAND & WALT DISNEY WORLD As Disneyland grew in both size and popularity, Walt Disney saw the New York World’s Fair as an opportunity to both expand his park and court potential sponsors. General Electric approached Walt to design the centerpiece for their pavilion at the fair, and Disney’s advancements in audio-animatronics made the Carousel of Progress a massive success. Pepsi and UNICEF also partnered with Disney for the World’s Fair, which lead the development of the beloved It’s a Small World attraction.

SESSION ONE Walt Disney thought of the theme park as a three-dimensional show; a giant stage where the employees are the cast members. To ensure that the show was presented in a flawless and consistent manner, all cast members had to be trained for their role at Disneyland in the “Disney Way.” In the early years of the park, Imagineer Van France, with help from cast member/Imagineer Gary Fravel, and others, helped create Disney University as an internal cast member training program.

VAN EATON GALLERIES PRESENTS: A HISTORY OF DISNEYLAND & WALT DISNEY WORLD Walt Disney was convinced that the success of the park was dependent on having a quality hotel next to Disneyland. While most people visited Disneyland for the day, a hotel would entice people traveling long distances to stay for several days. However, Walt reached his financial limits during the planning and construction of his park and had to find a third party with resources and experience to construct and operate a hotel. In 1954, Walt met Jack Wrather, a successful businessman who was looking to expand into the hotel business, and a partnership was made. A success from the moment it opened, the Disneyland Hotel remained under Wrather’s control until 1988, when the Walt Disney Company purchased the Wrather Corporation, and with it, ownership of the hotel. The hotel has gone through several changes over the years, and as the park has expanded, newer, more modern facilities have been built. Through it all the Disneyland Hotel has remained and integral and iconic part of Disneyland history.

VAN EATON GALLERIES PRESENTS: A HISTORY OF DISNEYLAND & WALT DISNEY WORLD When Disneyland first opened in 1955, a single admission ticket was sold at the park’s main entry gate at 1 dollar for adults, and 50 cents for children. Inside the park, tickets for each individual attraction could be purchased at nearby ticket booths. It was in October of 1955 that the park introduced the first ticket books in a show of classic Disney innovation. Conceived by Disneyland Public Relations director Ed Ettinger, the books provided admission to the park and coupons to experience eight attractions. The earliest ticket books offered three “A,” two “B,” and three “C” coupons, which categorized experiences by their level of thrill and excitement. In 1956 a “D” ticket was added, but it was not until 1959 and the addition of the Matterhorn Bobsleds, Submarine Ride, and Monorail that the infamous “E” ticket was added to the book. In 1982, the books were phased out with the introduction of an all-inclusive “passport.” Today, vintage tickets and ticket books offer us a picture of the history and development of Disneyland, and have become some of the most varied and collectible artifacts of the park.

VAN EATON GALLERIES PRESENTS: A HISTORY OF DISNEYLAND & WALT DISNEY WORLD
Few Disneyland souvenirs have had greater historical and visual appeal than the original souvenir park maps. The first large format souvenir maps debuted in 1958 and were designed by Imagineer Sam McKim, who continued to create and revise the maps though 1964. These intricately illustrated maps depict the park during various stages of its development, sometimes featuring the first appearance of a new attraction or plans for future development that never came to fruition. No matter what year is depicted, these maps provide an unequaled visual history of the growth and evolution of Disneyland.
162. 1958-A Disneyland Souvenir Map with INA Logo. (Disneyland, 1958) This 1958-A map is the first of the large scale souvenir Disneyland maps that were sold in the park. Designed by Sam McKim, the 1958-A version is the only of the souvenir maps to feature the Disneyland Viewliner in Tomorrowland, as well as the Junior Autopia attraction. This extremely rare version of the 1958-A Disneyland souvenir map contains the INA (Insurance by North America) logo. This map was given away as part of a contest to attend the Family Happiness & Security Conference being held at Disneyland, and entry was exclusively available to INA agents. As such, maps with the INA logo were sent only to agents who qualified as semi-finalists for the contest. While it is unknown how few agents qualified as semi-finalists and received a map, this version of the map is nearly impossible to find today. Measuring 29.5”x44.25” within its 33.5”x48.25” frame, the map is in fair condition with moisture discoloration and staining, particularly along the edges. There is some waving to the map and a few minor creases. The frame shows some signs of scuffing from previous display. This is by far the rarest version of the 1958 souvenir map, and beautifully represents the park in its earliest years. $2,000-$3,000 48

This particular model comes from the estate of Gary Fravel, who used photos of this particular model as part of an employee manual for Disney University.

The head measures 16” long and is in fair to good condition with some worn areas to the paint, and some of the teeth are loose or have been reglued. It appears that areas of the prop have been repainted so it’s difficult to know which of the two crocodiles this head was originally from, however the head shape, tooth location, and small details including unique placements of the moles can be matched to vintage photos of the Emporium display. $400-$600

Walt Disney planned to expand Main Street to include Liberty Square, which would feature a Hall of Presidents style show with audio-animatronic figures and the story of the constitution. However, the technology of the time prevented Walt from creating the full show, and instead, WED Imagineering turned their attention to creating the Lincoln audio-animatronic figure for the World’s Fair.

This script provides an incredibly rare look at the early stages of what would lead to Disney’s first audio-animatronic attraction.

Such determination may be made by the auctioneer in his sole and absolute discretion prior to, during, and after the close of any auction. 5. Exclusion: The auctioneer reserves the right to exclude any persons of entity: (a) from bidding, or (b) from the floor of the auction on the day of sale. 6. Guaranty: If any entity places any bid, then the individual actually placing the bid shall guaranty payment for any successful bid. 7. Credit: Bidders shall establish credit with the auctioneer prior to placing bids. Auctioneer shall be the sole determiner of whether or not credit of any Bidder is satisfactory to auctioneer. If Bidder is not known to auctioneer, a proposed Bidder shall furnish satisfactory credit information (”SCI”) at least five business days prior to the auction. Such SCI shall include two credit references, a social security number, and appropriate credit card information. Auctioneer reserves the right to make a credit check of any proposed Bidder and such Bidder consents to the making of such a credit check. The acceptance of checks is in the auctioneer’s sole discretion and may be based on a variety of criteria, such as a credit bureau report, a bank check, or otherwise.

Good Faith Bidding: Auctioneer reserves the right to honor any bid or to limit the amount of any bid. All bids must be made in good faith.

Auctioneer retains the Buyer’s Premium as its own property. 26. Payment Terms: Payment is due upon the closing of the auction sessions, or upon presentation of an invoice. If payment in full is not received within (7) calendar days after the close of the auction, or within (5) calendar days of the invoice date, whichever is later, the auctioneer may in its sole and absolute discretion, void the sale. If the sale is voided for non-payment the successful bidder shall still owe the auctioneer its fees. Sales tax will be collected from any successful bidder unless the appropriate certificate is on file with the auctioneer at least five business days before the first date set for the auction. If the successful bidder choses to send an “echeck”, electronic funds transfer, or ACH payment, and it does not clear, the bidder authorizes the auctioneer to use the credit card on file. If payment is not made the auctioneer reserves the right to sell the lot to any under-bidder or in any future auction; any difference in the realized proceeds shall be the responsibility of the non-paying successful first bidder.

The auctioneer disclaims any warranty of fitness or merchantability. 32. Disclaimer of Damages; Sole Remedies: Auctioneer disclaims any damages, consequential or otherwise.

A bidder or buyer acknowledges that there is a risk that subsequent to the execution of this Agreement, one or more of them will discover facts or will discover, suffer, or incur claims and/or damages relating to the subject matter of this release, which were unknown or unanticipated at the time of the auction, which, if known on that date may have materially affected their respective decisions to give the herein release. Despite this knowledge and understanding, each bidder and buyer agrees that it is assuming the risk of such unknown and unanticipated facts and claims, and in connection herewith, each hereby expressly waives any and all rights under California Civil Code Section 1542, which section has been explained to and is understood by each party and which reads as follows: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” 34: Arbitration: By placing a bid in the auction, a Bidder agrees to the dispute resolution set forth herein. All disputes shall be arbitrated by the American Arbitration Association in Los Angeles County, California. Costs shall be split equally among all parties. This replaces the right to go to court, including the right to a jury trial. 35.
