Disneyland gets just a brief mention in this issue, but it's still fun. Some of Paul Hartley’s amazing illustrating talent on display. Fascinating history of the Carrousel. Nice shots of Disneyland’s Carrousel in action, great 10¢ admission sign! “The scene around the carrousel is gay as a medieval fair”.
Another superb illustration, this one is by Jacques Rupp who designed the Disneyland logo (link).
Paul Hartley again, simple yet so effective.
This artist is not credited but it does look like Jacques Rupp’s style. It also looks like the Rainbow Desert!
Here’s the only two advertisements in the magazine. Mickey Mouse Shoes and Mouseketeer Round-up (Woody’s?) boots.
Krazy Ikes, I remember getting these used at rummage sales when I was a little kid. The connectors were always either broken or worn out. Hey, wasn’t “Ike” the president of the United States in 1957?

Boy, I only WISH that form still worked! I can imagine how exciting it must have been to be a kid, receiving a new issue of this magazine every few months. Just look at all those amazing illustrations!
Thanks!
I've always loved that cover... I remember having a huge crush on Luana from that Johnnie Tremaine movie when I was a kid.
Looking at some old family photos, I have found one where my brother has just received this very issue and is happily showing it around. Thanks for maintaining this blog so I could identify for sure the date!
