Its 1969 and time to plan your Disneyland Holiday, plans from $20.55!
Cool photos but the "fish" picture is kind of boring.
So many choices!

Union Pacific Railroad July 1965 Calendar
Happy July everyone, let’s start out the month with this July 1965 page from the Union Pacific Railroad 1965 calendar. This calendar is huge measuring just over 24” by 12”.
Here’s a close up of the super castle photo. This reminds me of the Wonderful World of Disney TV show opening. What sort of ritual are they performing at the entrance to the castle?
What a fantastic headquarters building, I think it’s still there (link).
The Union Pacific West... A Four Season VACATIONLAND!!!!
1965 was an excellent year.

Disneyland - Length of Stay Tickets 1994
Here's some interesting Disneyland Passports. Exclusively for Disneyland Hotel guests, these "Length of Stay" passports are good for a variable number of days. "valid through check out" - so if you are stay at the hotel for a month I guess these would be good for the entire stay?
I like the "Mickey ears in the Jet plane" as part of the Walt Disney Travel Co. Logo.
The codes are interesting, "3DAYLOSWDTAD94" "94" is probably the year, "AD" must be Adult, the "3DAY" part seems wrong as these could be good for a different amount of days.
The code on the Child's ticket is even stranger, "2DAY"??? - Maybe these were just codes for accounting?

Bonus Magazine Monday
Since there was no Bonus Sunday yesterday how about a vintage Vacationland Magazine today? This classic issue is the Winter-Spring 1966 edition. Hey, those boys in the red & white striped shirt and red shorts look familiar, friends of Molly? (link).
Download the ntire issue here: Vacationland Winter/Spring 1966 - 102mb
What a great picture they put on the opening page.
Fun map, Tomorrowland is about to go thru some cool changes.
Great article, you’ll have to download the entire issue to read the rest.
Color centerfold of Walt’s Disneyland.
A rather contemporary advertisement for Kodak.
The back cover usually has a Knott’s Berry Farm advertisement, but the opening of Universals Studios Gates took its place.

Disneyland's Dream Machine Tickets - 1990
As part of Disneyland 35th anniversary celebration they created the “Dream Machine” promotion. Similar to 1986’s “Gift Giver” promotion (link), every guest got a fun ticket and a chance to win anything from a pin to new car or in the case of these tickets, nothing!
The legalese of this promotion was interesting; Prizes are awarded randomly, different values, different days, whatever, so no odds are given. If a minor wins a car they really didn’t, their parents did. If you win the airline tickets you are required to sign a release of liability, no suing the mouse if you crash. Claim your award “promptly” or you’re not getting it.
There were 24 different versions in four color variations. These are nicely printed on glossy cardstock so even the loser “no win” tickets are fun. An odd mix of characters, the classics along with 1990 Gadget, Tummi Gummi and Roger Rabbit.

Tropicana Hotel - Across the Street from Disneyland
If you can’t afford the Disneyland Hotel then do the next best thing, stay across the Street from Disneyland! The Tropicana Motel looks dreamy in this undated brochure/postcard.
Should you happen to dial that phone number you’ll find out the “Tropicana Suites” are still in business at the same address. Hey Major, they accept your Credit Cards!
“Park-Walk” I’ve stayed at a motel right at the cross walk to the old parking lot, it’s so convenient you forget all about mediocre room.
The “New” Anaheim Convention Center is a clue to the date of this item, the Convention center was opened in July 1967.
