This “Welcome to Disneyland” brochure came in a few different varieties, I’ve got a blue one (’62?) somewhere. Fun drawings on the front and that’s a pretty big flying saucer there in Tomorrowland.

Don’t those Main Street exhibits look neat? Are there interior photos of the Yale & Towne shop out there?

Daveland has an amazing animated version of this map on his website (link) I can watch that thing all day.

The non-color paper hasn’t held up so well over the years, but the color paper is looking great, I love that original artwork.

Look who I found! Andre Tahon with Papotin’s Revue (link). Yes more fun with the quizzical, mop-haired marionette named Papotin. And for Major, Mr. Tahon prefers to call his puppets “marottes”. Personally I think Andre’s puppets belong in the Trilogy of Terror.

“From Disneyland to Zanzibar” sounds like a great movie title.
