Truckin' Magazine - May 1977

Welcome to Magazine.  Let's start "Truckin" with Truckin Magazine from May 1977.

It's the Third annual "Van Happening" at Disneyland.  This somewhat light 2 page article is proof that Vans were all the rage in 1977.

Square headlights on a van, that'll never happen. The award winner's have some serious belts.

Hey, the Helm's Bakery Truck reminds me of Disneyland's Global Van Lines Truck and the Carnation Truck.

You are most certainly NOT in Kansas Toto...

SuperVan, wow how cool is that?

Let's view the trailer.

The SuperVan even made it into one of the articles.

Dodge was trying to cash in on the Van craze, wow those earth tones are something else.

In case you missed my previous "Truckin - July 1975" post, you can view it here (link).

Disneyland in Slides - April 1971

Time for some vintage Disneyland slides.  From April 1971, these groovy slides are fun and have some warm colors. 20¢ for popcorn, nice!  Those are some sweet threads, on everyone.

The little boy in the green jacket reminds me of how I dressed in the early 70's. 

Super shot!

Eyes closed...

Even though the faces are in shadows, this is my favorite of the bunch.

The rest are so-so...

 

Who doesn't love a parade? (me...)

 Mogli?

Overexposed but still worth posting.

Perspecta 9/10: The Yale Architectural Journal - 1965

For today's post we've got something a little different.  From 1965 its the "Prespecta 9/10: The Yale Architectural Journal".  At 345 pages its a good sized and detailed journal.

There's only one page of text regarding Disneyland, but its pretty intellectual stuff, or at least the author thought it was intellectual.  "A large Papier-mâché mountain called the Matterhorn" I suppose you could see it that way...  

There's a super foldout map which is unfortunately on red paper, however its still a fun map.  I don't think I've seen this map before, does anyone recognize it?  Here's a high resolution version (link - 25MB). This map reminds me of the excellent map from the 1963 National Geographic article (link).

Back side of the map has some Black and Red photos.

The rest of the Disneyland pages are some nice black & white photographs, shown below without further interruption.

Disneyland magic Kingdom Ticket Book - September 1960

Time for some Vintage Disneyland Tickets.  This "10 Adventures in Disneyland" ticket book is from 1960. There is something very special about tickets from "Walt's" time, his stylized signature on the welcome sheet is most reassuring.  "Walt Disney Productions" would replace Walt's signature on the welcome sheet in 1967, they should have left it alone.     

These tickets were "Magic Key Coupons" good for admission to any ride or attraction.  This is some seriously vivid Globe safety paper.

They back has the usual "not subject to refund" and "good any time" lines, but the "Maximum Price of this Coupon is 50¢" is somewhat rare, in fact I don't recall seeing that before.

The September 1960 attraction list is sure fun to look at. It appears slightly Fantasyland heavy and very Adventureland light...

Admission and 10 adventures in Disneyland for $3.75... or a Venti Latte at Starbucks for the same price, choose wisely!

Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse Club Magazine - Winter 1956 - Issue #1

Welcome to Magazine Monday. For today’s vintage Disneyland related magazine we are going directly to the source himself, Walt Disney. Originally called “Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse Club Magazine” after a couple of years it was changed to “Walt Disney’s Magazine”.  Today we’ll look at issue #1, Volume #1 - Winter 1956.

Since this is the very first issue, Walt and Mickey are going to explain what its all about.

Table of contents - let me know if there is something that peaks your interest and I'll post it over the weekend.

The Disneyland article is rather thin at just 3 pages.

Pages 2 and 3 of the article consist of a "ride thru" of sorts for Snow White.

Its amazing how little this attraction has changed.  So much for Disneyland not being a museum, couldn't we apply the same (keep it forever) logic to America Sings and ATIS??

As a bonus there's a neat two page article on the rare Mickey Mouse Club Circus at Disneyland.

Those are some fun posters!

Time to meet the Mouseketeers.

Autobiography of M. Mouse.

I sure do like the mid-fifties Mickey.

Time for a Mousekatune!

And of course lastly its the Mouseka-dictionary!

These posters are too cool to leave on just one page:
