Grad Nite - 1969
Is everyone ready for some Disneyland Grad Nite fun? If you have’t seen enough Grad Nite stuff today (or by the end of June) check out my previous (30?!?!) Grad Nite posts here (link). Jumping a little ahead on the date, this Disneyland Grad Nite ticket is from June 19, 1969. Were disembodied heads really necessary? Oh well, they don’t detract from awesome star-twinkle things and that cool row of Castle Logo’s under the heads.
“According to Grad Nite Committee Rules” Is that the High school’s committee of Disneyland’s committee? For goodness sake – “Hold your own ticket”, don’t trust your date!
Bring this card with you (hold your own card?) “Only two people in any one picture” I think I’ll leave that alone.
Wow, neato graphics on the reverse side. How fun to get this in the mail a couple of weeks later with your Grad Nite photograph.

Family Circle - June 1965
Welcome to Magazine Monday. Today’s magazine is pushing the “Disneyland Related Article” requirement but its got some great vintage advertisements to make up for it. From June 1965 is Family Circle Magazine. Cozy if not a bit green family room.
The one Disneyland photo is part of a six page “Travel Beauty Aids you can use at Home” article. At least it’s a nice photo, but something looks odd with the Carrousel?
Here’s the six page article, 46 years ago and many worlds away.
“How to get more mileage out of Daddy” is a funny article that treats dad like the family car! Let me know if anyone wants to ready the rest and I’ll post it on Bonus Sunday.
"Glamorous gifts for the Bride’s Kitchen". Those are some sharp looking appliances.
Now for some great vintage advertisements. Up first Whirlpool wants you to see what’s inside their stylish refrigerator.
Broyhill Furniture – where’s Monty Hall and Carol Marol.
This is what I had for dinner last night – OK its was KC Masterpiece barbecue sauce, but I did grill hamburgers just like those, yum!
Tropical Mist Cake actually sounds pretty good!
Two cartons are better than one!
“I can’t get you a Tab, you haven’t ordered anything yet”.
Wow, what a great look!

Hank and Red visit Disneyland - Part 2
"Red" is now inside the park, 6:00pm sharp and it appears the park isn't very crowded. I'm guessing the posters are on each side so "Hank" totally blew it by centering Red in this shot!
I suppose that's Skull Rock behind Red - Hank must not have known the flash bulb only goes so far.
Hank looks rather serious in this photo - slick gold belt!. I like the evening skyline and the Skyway silhouette in the background. Too bad we only got half that sign on the right, whats is talking about?
In this last photo taken at the Carnation Plaza Red sure seems happy still. Hey I like the pattern of that shirt on the lady next to Red, I'm gonna guess 1963 as the date for these.

Hank and Red visit Disneyland - Part 1
Let’s take a mini vintage vacation with a happy couple to Disneyland. These Ektachrome slides are a larger format with the film area measuring 2 inches square; does anyone know what type of film this was? These slides are undated and unmarked, so we get to guess the names and dates.
Looks like “Hank” is groomed and ready to leave the Disneyland Hotel and head out to the park. Let’s review his personal check list; Vitalis Hair Tonic, prescription sunglasses with gold accents, Disneyland tickets in front pocket, gold watch, wedding ring, yellow(?) socks and cool daddy-o shoes.
Hank's beautiful red head’s name is eluding me. It must be one of those names than ends in “ie” Like Dixie or Trixie or Katie. Anyway, here she is also ready to head over to the park. Now I see why “Hank” has yellow socks, man he was one cool kat.
Well here's something you don't see everyday, in fact I don’t think I’ve ever seen the interior of the early Monorails. Can’t you just hear the "pop and sizzle" of the flash bulb? Nice timing with the Skyway Station in the background. She looks pretty happy to be there; don’t you wish we could hear the spiel from the speaker?
It’s probably not 6:00am (unless the sun rises in the west) so it appears our happy couple are going just for the evening - Disneyland After Dark.
Come back for part two tomorrow, “Hank” had a few more flash bulbs for the evening ahead.

Floating into Summer - The Disneyland Line June 1, 1978
Blog reader “xyz” requested some Disneyland Lines and as luck would have it I have a few (hundred) issues. Some of the Disneyland Lines are, well, not very exciting. This June 1, 1978 issue is pretty good, the “Family Edition’s” tend to be better.
Summer 1978 had some “delightful new plusses”. Dancing dominated the scene over at Tomorrowland’s Space Stage from 8pm to 12:45am Monday thru Saturday!
Promotions and some “old timers” retiring - I bet Jack Brown knew Walt.
June does seem like it’s been the month for new things at Disneyland, would it have something to do with the start of summer?
A message from the 1978 Disneyland Ambassador.
This would be some of the not very exciting part.
Hey the Disneyland Credit Union is having an auction for a repossessed 1976 Toyota Corona E-5 (in “flashy red”). I wonder if some cast members knew who’s car that “was”.
The “Main Street Maniacs” get a nice detailed profile.
The cars for sale have caught my attention, which to choose a ‘73 El Dorado or a ‘73 Lincoln Mark IV! Of course the smart money would be on the ‘70 Camaro Rally Sport, the not so smart money would be on the ’74 Pinto.
Great Logo!

Knott’s Berry Farm - Haunted Shack Ticket
Time for a vintage Knott's Berry Farm ticket. Undated, but pretty old, this Haunted Shack ticket is almost as cool as the attraction itself.
Nice Dillingham Ticket Company safety paper.
Here's another version from an post I did back in December 2007 (link).
