Bonus Sunday

Welcome to Bonus Sunday. From Tuesday's "APRA Night at Disneyland - October 13, 1975" post (link) here is the entire Summer 1975 issue of Vacationland.


Vacationland Summer 1975 - 123mb







This is a case of the concept art looking better than the final version. The big heads aren't as noticeable (or scary) in this art work.






More Frontierland goodness.






Don't miss this great article on the transition of the Mission from the Moon to Mars.






Super multiple-page article on the much missed "One of a Kind" shop.






Magic Mountain is only two gallons north of Hollywood! And there's "No ticket books to fumble with"!






"Don't miss the boat!" And don't miss this cool mid-70's artwork.

This one has some great ads (that Queen Mary ad, the "Sambo's" restaurant ad, that very strange Viewmaster ad...); there is a mention of the "Frontier Rock Shop", must have been where you would go buy minerals after the Mineral Hall closed. Cool stuff!

All Vacationlands much appreciated, of course.

I can provide a little more information on some of the writers here (who were also Disneyland Cast Members):

Vicki Stowe ("Red, White & Blue Spectacular"; "'Oh say does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave'") had previously been a typist/staff member of the Disneyland Line (in 1974 and 1975).

Frank Whiteley ("'Mission to Mars': Past the Moon and on to the Mysterious Red Planet") served as the Marketing/Publicity Captain for the United Way Campaign at least twice in the 1970s.

Margery Lee ("Oldies and Oddities") was in Marketing and later became Disneyland editor of the Disney News and editor of Disneyland Vacationland.
