Magazine Monday - Delayed
Please accept Judy's apology for a slight delay in presenting "Magazine Monday" on time. Judy is from a 1956 "large format" magazine that is so full of amazing pages that it turned out taking much longer than expected to scan all these large beautiful pages. See you Tomorrow.

Bonus Sunday
Welcome to the first Bonus Sunday of 2010! Here's the complete issue of "The Disney World" December 1965 - January 1966, there sure was a lot going with the Disney Company heading into 1966.
The Disney World - Dec. 65 / Jan. 66 (75mb)
The Sherman Brothers sign on for three more years, nice! “Benny Benefit” is a great article about a hilarious appearance Walt makes on Jack Benny’s TV Special.
It just so happens you can download the entire November 13, 1965 Jack Benny show (including awesome Eastern Airlines commercials) at archive.org (link). I clipped out the scene that featured Walt and posted it below (hope it worked..). I love that the whole setup is about free DISNEYLAND TICKETS and we get to see one hundred and eleven ticket books. Walt definitely plays into Benny’s style of humor, it’s great to see film of Walt that I’ve never seen before.
More photo’s of Walt, he sure was a busy man.
Here’s Walt with the Florida Mafia. Neato painting on the wall of the back side of a beach lady!
It never occurred to me that someone replaced Julie Reihm as Disneyland's Ambassador during Walt’s life time. Here’s Connie Jean Swanson meeting Walt and the “great big wide world of Disney”. Fascinating talk about “Paid Fares” for attractions (in 1965, 6.3 million guests paid 58 Million attraction "fares"). I wonder if it would have made better financial cents to keep the "A thru E" ticket system in place after all? Nah…
Walt was more popular than ever leading into 1966 and the company knew it. It really is difficult to image where the company would have gone had Walt been around for a few more years.
That is one BIG drum! I'd love to hear it Where is it now???
See you tomorrow as we continue “Magazine Monday” into 2010.

The Disney World - December 1965 – January 1966
Happy New Year Everyone! What better way to celebrate New Year’s day than to check out a vintage “The Disney World” magazine. This is the December 1965 – January 1966 edition featuring the Tournament of Roses Parade with Walt Disney as its Grand Marshall. See a super post about the 1966 Tournament of Roses Parade at Outside the Berm (link) and see Meet the Worlds amazing 7 part 1966 Tournament of Roses Parade series from last year (link)
The inside cover tells about Walt’s role in the parade.
The “Biggest Surprise of the Decade” one can only image how the Florida project would have turned out if Walt had survived thru its construction.
From the “Could have been” department, Mineral King is looking promising in this article, too bad it didn’t turn out that way.
The Tencennial Celebration continues “indefinitely”…
Interesting “Letters from Burbank”… Disney sure was proud of that plane, does the Mouse Corp still own and fly it?
Come back this weekend for the entire issue.

New Year's Eve at Disneyland 1967 - LP by Pepsi
It’s New Year’s Eve at Disneyland, presented by your local Pepsi-Cola Bottler. This LP was produced by Pepsi for Radio Station use. It’s also (scream it with me) “undated” but I would place it at 1967 based on, among other things, a mention of "Sunday" as New Year's Eve.
Be sure to download both sides of the LP and play it as you celebrate tonight, its one-half hour of musical fun and excitement.
Here’s a 30 second promo that’s on the first side of the record before the actual show:
30 second promo
The LP is devoid of any actual information of what’s on the record itself. This was hand written on the inner sleeve.
Side one is a real Humdinger (Dedicated to Jason!). The version of "Sunny" is unique, I like it...
New Year’s at Disneyland Side 1 – 10mb
Side two is the better of the two sides, starts with Pirates (in their “Pirates Lair”!) moves on to some great Firehouse 5 plus 2 tunes, then some super Golden Horseshoe singing.
New Year’s at Disneyland Side 2 – 10mb
My copy of this LP is blank on the back cover, but there's a copy for sale on Ebay right now (link) that has this information on the back cover. I suppose if you work in radio this makes sense.

New Year's Eve Party at Disneyland - December 31, 1971
Help ring in 1972 with “New Year’s Eve at Disneyland”, Friday Night, December 31, 1971. That’s some interesting artwork on this ticket; those little dancing people art great! 8:30 PM to 2:30 AM – nice! Guest Bands, “Surprise Midnite Spectacular” what was that? At $9.00 this ticket was higher than any “ticket books” of the time, but these are for UNLIMITED USE of all attractions (except shooting galleries).
Since we’re in 1972, let’s visit the “Jones” family on a June 1972 visit to Disneyland. First up the obligatory castle shot, those ladies have at least 25 pounds of purse each and I think the eldest son is holding a ticket book!
This one is labeled “Disneyland” in case you weren’t sure where this was.
Here we find the motley crew in front of the fairly new Haunted Mansion. I am really digging these clothes.
How about some Vintage Tomorrowland? Why did the “Jones” family bring along Mrs. Martin their school teacher? Multiple "ticket book in hand" sightings – Purple dress lady is smoking and holding, talented babe. I miss the Bell Logo’s on the entrance facade.
A nice clear shot of the Adventure Thru Inner Space sign and how cool is that proud dad smoking his pipe with his shades on? Memo to the smallest son, Lost in Space wants its shirt back. Middle kid; gets some shades like your dad, you’re always squinting!
Purple dress lady must be mom? I remember those benches along the lagoon, what color and version monorail is that? Vintage fence alert!
And lastly a ho-hum photo of the Mine Train, the family looks happy, obviously not knowing the attraction would close in four short years.

Happy New Year - December 31, 1977
It's Vintage New Years week here on the blog. Today we're celebrating New Years Eve December 31, 1977.
The gate flyer matches the ticket nicely.
MECO of "Star Wars Disco" oh man do I miss 1977!
As a (weak) tribute to Magazine Monday (returning next week) here's the Disneyland Line from December 29, 1977.
Does the Matterhorn have all that stuff now? I'll let you since I'm at the park TODAY!!
How Cute...

2010 Annual Pass
Guess what I got for Christmas? An annual (premium!) pass for 2010 - insert "Disney Dreams" music here!
Mr. Annual Pass arrives in this nice folder.
I hope everyone had a great Christmas season, I sure did! I got to see my old friend Mr. Lincoln on his opening day and got this amazing pass, but most important, I got to spend time with friends and family.

Merry Christmas to All! Family Circle Decemember 1957
Merry Christmas Everyone! I hope everybody is having a wonderful holiday.
Today we have a special Christmas Edition of Magazine Monday (on Friday). From December 1957 it’s Family Circle Magazine. This issue features an amazing 12 page article “Especially for Children, a Christmas Story about St. Francis” as told by Mary Martin and Visualized by Walt Disney and staff.
“The Little Lame Lamb, a story of Saint Frances of Assisi and the first Nativity Scene” is a wonderful Christmas season story, it’s worth taking the time to read it in its entirety. And as you’ll see, the artwork is top notch, wouldn’t it be amazing to own some of the originals?
Now presented in order, in high resolution and without further interruption, “The Little Lame Lamb”, enjoy.
Oh boy would I like to get this record! I bet the 12 page booklet has all the same artwork as this article just like Family Circle December 1958 and the “Christmas at Disneyland LP”. This must be a shorter story than Christmas at Disneyland as its all on one 45. If I had this record of course you’d be hearing here on the blog.
Before we get to some wonderful vintage holiday advertisements, Family Circle has a memo to its readers. Can you imagine it, they are raising the price of each issue to ten cents?
The ingredients of this fruit cake, minus the fruit, nuts and raisins, sound pretty good. No baking? Chill for two days? What kind of commie cake is this?
That Cookie House looks so yummy! Check out that cool Cookie Carnival Carrousel!
“Paging Mr. Kidney, Mr. Kevin Kidney Please…”
“Working together to bring people together” and working to keep our monopoly on the telephone industry.
Fruit Nog, Yummy?
“Soft and smooth as linen”. Gotta love that Polka dot box!
These last three advertisements aren’t holiday related but I couldn’t resist sharing. Three of these sauces look excellent, I’ll let you guess which one I’ll pass on.
Some things never change (thank goodness). You’ll find a box or two of Lipton's Chicken Noodle Soup in my cupboard, how about yours? That glass soup pan on the electric burner looks so cool!
Well… This is a family magazine and its 1957 so this must be acceptable to show on my blog. “She dreamed she was lost in a London Fog”, maybe she was dreaming because she was being held and molded by her “talented bra… in the prettiest possible lines”… Was Maidenform a Division of Cadillac in 1957?
Merry Christmas to all!
