To achieve the best sound quality, I used the original soundtrack (with a slight modification to reflect the fact that the parade is no longer shown on Main Street).

Walt Disney Treasures – Disneyland USA
$28.95
A special presentation of four Disneyland television specials – The Disneyland Story, Dateline Disneyland, Operation Disneyland, Disneyland After Dark – plus The Disneyland 10th Anniversary Show, all originally broadcast between 1955 and 1970, and hosted by Walt Disney himself. Also includes additional archival footage of Disneyland’s opening day and other rare materials. Introduction by Leonard Maltin. To finance Disneyland he wanted to build, Walt Disney turned to the new medium of television. As host Leonard Maltin notes on this two- disc set of televised specials for the amusement park, Disney used the series to promote it, “and no one seemed to mind.” ABC agreed to invest in return for a weekly one-hour program. The “Disneyland” TV show premiered on October 27, 1954: “Disneyland Story” introduced the park and its various lands, which would be the subject of future programs. The opening-day special, “Dateline Disneyland” (July 17, 1955), attracted an estimated audience of 90 million–virtually every television household in America. Hosted by Art Linkletter, Robert Cummings, and Ronald Reagan, the live broadcast includes such unplanned moments as Linkletter searching frantically for a microphone in Fantasyland. The Tenth Anniversary show (January 3, 1965) features cameos of Mary Blair and Marc Davis, two celebrated animation artists. Home movie footage of Walt pacing off distances at the barren site in Anaheim is intercut with peeks at forthcoming attractions. “Disneyland After Dark” (April 15, 1962) offers performances by Annette Funicello, Bobby Burgess, Bobby Rydell, Louis Armstrong, and a prepubescent quartet of Osmond Brothers. A must-have set for Disneyland buffs, Disney collectors, and nostalgic baby boomers. –Charles Solomon >>Read More
101 Things You Never Knew About Disneyland: An Unauthorized Look At The Little Touches And Inside Jokes
$14.00
You have probably heard a few “interesting facts” about Disneyland over the years. Perhaps you’ve heard that Walt Disney kept an apartment on Main Street? Or that there is a secret, members-only club in New Orleans Square? It’s all true… but these are only two of the interesting facts pointed out in “101 Things You Never Knew About Disneyland.” Many of the stories here deal with more obscure, yet equally interesting, histories of Disneyland. In fact, the majority of the material comes straight from interviews with the Imagineers who helped to build, maintain, and revitalize Disneyland. The book pays special attention to the inside jokes and hidden references to Disneyland’s past, as these samples illustrate: Do you know which play on words pays tribute to a former Mexican restaurant at a certain site? Do you know how Tarzan’s Treehouse honors its predecessor in two different ways? Do you know what is so unusual about the decorations atop “It’s a Small World”? Do you know why one palm tree in Adventureland is special? Do you know what the sign says at the bottom of Splash Mountain’s big drop? Do you know which pumpkin is an homage to a Disneyland official? It’s a certainty that you haven’t heard all these stories before. Although there are 101 such highlighted stories, each comes with a fuller description and is followed by a second story that is thematically related, so this volume really offers 202 Things you haven’t heard about Disneyland before. You will find these facts delightful and unforgettable once you’ve heard them! >>Read More

Walt Disney Treasures – Disneyland – Secrets, Stories & Magic (Collector’s Tin)
$144.99
On July 17 1955 Walt Disney opened the gates to Disneyland(R) the beloved American icon that has become a cherished destination for generations. It was also the day Walt’s sixteen-year dream came true. The centerpiece of this volume is a captivating and nostalgic film that takes you inside that dream. Rare archival footage new interviews with key people and Walt’s own words reveal how his innovative vision became a reality. Then discover more Disneyland(R) secrets with a fun-filled trivia game and relive the magic of the recently restored PEOPLE AND PLACES: DISNEYLAND U.S.A. presented in CinemaScope with a new 5.1 audio mix. Featuring exclusive introductions by film historian Leonard Maltin this is a timeless collection from generations past for generations to come.System Requirements:Running Time: 332 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: CHILDREN/FAMILY Rating: NR UPC: 786936702057Originally conceived as a fiftieth anniversary tribute to Disneyland, this 332-minute DVD set celebrates Walt Disney’s vision and drive in imagining, building, and marketing America’s first-ever theme park. This compilation offers fascinating insight into Walt Disney’s enormous undertaking through the documentary “The Secrets, Stories, and Magic of Disneyland,” the retrospective “Operation Disneyland,” three episodes from “The Wonderful World of Color” television series, one “People and Places” episode, and a collection of historical time-lapse construction footage from Disneyland in Anaheim, California. Leonard Maltin and Julie Andrews provide an introduction to the 80-minute “Secrets, Stories, and Magic” which details Walt Disney’s initial vision for Disneyland, considered to be “Walt’s Folly” by many Disney Studio employees, and the various stages of the park’s planning and construction culminating in its grand opening on July 17, 1955. Extensive new and vintage footage address virtually every aspect of the conception and realization of Disneyland from the original site plan and concept art to the tight construction schedule, logistical problems during construction and on opening day, the development of new enhanced motion vehicle technology for the rides, and the shelved ideas that make up the “Disneyland that never was.” Extensive interview footage includes Walt Disney, George Lucas, Roy Disney, artist Herb Ryman, retired president of Disneyland Jack Lindquist, composer Richard Sherman, and many others. After an interactive Disneyland trivia game that’s none-to-easy even in the beginner mode, it’s on to a restored version of the 1956 “People and Places: Disneyland USA” episode which highlights Walt Disney’s goal that Disneyland serve as a place of enlightenment, happiness, and the pursuit of fun and takes viewers on a slow-paced exploration of the five areas of Disneyland. Modern audiences might be inclined to condemn this particular feature as a 42-minute-long Disneyland commercial, but in 1956 it functioned more as an exploration of a distant place that many around the world had never had the opportunity to visit. Disc two begins with “Operation Disneyland,” a 14-minute black and white documentary produced for ABC closed circuit television which looks at the technical aspects of broadcasting the opening ceremonies of Disneyland on live television. Never intended for public viewing, the program offers an interesting and historically valuable look back at the mechanics of live television in the 1950’s. Next are three episodes of Walt Disney’s weekly program “The Wonderful World of Color.” “The Golden Horseshoe Revue” features the 10,000th vaudeville-inspired performance at Disneyland’s The Golden Horseshoe Saloon with Betty Taylor, Wally Boag, Gene Sheldon, Ed Wynn, and former Mickey Mouse Club Mouseketeer Annette Funicello. “Disneyland Goes to the World’s Fair” details Disney’s contributions to the New York World’s Fair of 1964-1965 including the creation of “It’s A Small World” for UNICEF, “Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln,” and the “Primeval World” audio-animatronic dinosaurs currently on exhibit in the Disneyland Railroad. “Disneyland Around the Seasons” celebrates Disneyland’s 11th year with a look at special holiday programming at Disneyland. Finally, footage from several time-lapse cameras scattered throughout Disneyland during the park’s construction is presented with narration by Tony Baxter from Disney Imagineering, and Ed Hobbleman and Walter Magnuson from the Disney Studio Inventory Group. Just about everything one could ever want to know about the history of Disneyland is right here in this thorough Disney collection. –Tami Horiuchi >>Read More

I like Disneyland and grewing up went there yrly it was just a 2 hr drive. I’m glad they brought back the electrical parade, they made a mistake retireing it back in 1996. I just wish it had been put back on Main Street instead of Calif Adventures. Last time I was at the park before i moved to colorado they had taken out the Bear Jamborie show. that was a favorite of mine.

Walt Disney had a dream that he shared with millions of people both with the park and his movies. Yet everyone has their own version and opinion of what the dream may mean and now that Walt is gone. If thoses that worked for him don’t stay true to what his vision and dream was, it changes things and what made it so spiecal in the first place.
