One thing you don't hear about much, is the history of Disneyland's stores and merchandise sold through the years.K.

That was the name of that outfit I am almost 99.9% positive. beachgalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145677285299398734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-8775724548507085422014-05-24T14:45:36.654-07:002014-05-24T14:45:36.654-07:00Vogue Dolls made Ginny, Muffie & Ginger dolls ...Vogue Dolls made Ginny, Muffie & Ginger dolls - I think Ginger was the last one in that grouping to come out toward the later end of the 50s - I was done with dolls by then so I didn't have a Ginger but I sure saw them in the stores and lots of the little girls I babysat had her. They started to be popular in the late 40s and were sold at better Dept stores like Broadway. Her clothes were quite detailed - remember this was all pre-Barbie. Disneyland had a couple exclusive outfits for this doll you only could get there. The non exclusive outfits were a tad more pricy then many of some of the same outfits you could buy elsewhere and of course, never on sale. The most popular Ginny(Muffie, Ginger) outfit sold at Disneyland was the Mouseketter outfit and it was exclusively sold only at Disneyland. You could get your OWN name on the little Mouseketter Ginny/Ginger sweater if you were lucky and didn't have less than common name. The later dolls I don't recognize. I did run across some photos from inside the Tinkerbell Toy Shope in the past that showed the little near diorama style displays they had with Vogue Ginny dolls. You could special order some of the Ginny/Ginger/Muffie furniture in those displays there at Disneyland and it was one of the few places in the Southland that did have 'real' on display examples for you to see. Broadway could order some of the same things but you only could see them in a catalog. beachgalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145677285299398734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-8110007281946632452014-05-24T10:13:47.327-07:002014-05-24T10:13:47.327-07:00WOW!!!

Xavier,
Your mother...WOW!!! I'm blown away!<br /><br />Xavier, <br /><br />Your mother's doll collection from Disneyland is amazing. It looks very high quality and in prime condition. Absolutely beautiful! Lots of nice details in these images. I enjoyed reading about your mother's visits to Disneyland and the Tinker Bell Toy Shop. It's personal stories like this that I love to read about Disneyland.
