Today let’s look at two great flyers from Disneyland’s early days. Although these are different sizes, they share the same format and a lot of the same text.

Neither is dated, but the first this one appears to be from 1957 or near there. I see the “House of the Future” but no "Viewliner" or "Columbia" mentions. High resolution file here: (frontside-link) (backside-link).

Again not dated, 1959? Maybe 1960? This version is smaller, but still fun. High resolution file here: (frontside-link) (backside-link).

Absolute beauties Tim. Awesome. Thanks again!
I have one of the blue flyers that I thoght was identical to the one you have shown here. However on closer inspection there are some subtle differences. The text on the 2 color side have a few minor changes such as "in Tomorrowland blueprint of the future, of space saellites, rocket ships and monorails..."
On the full color side a few pictures have been replaced with new ones. The World Clock is replaced by a Sub picture, the Mine Train with a picture of the pool at the Disneyland Hotel,the Fantasy in the Sky with a Monorail picture, and the Bazaar picture with one of the Matterhorn Bobsleds.
I have another Flyer from 1960 that is completely different so I would guess that your blue one comes from ealier in 1959 and mine from a little later the same year. Thanks for all your posts. I look forward to checking them every day.
