Disneyland Entrance Movie Posters

Once again, one vintage slide has produced a variety of unexpected tangents for me. Even though this image is undated, I am pretty durn sure it's from 1965. How do I know that? Just check out the movie posters that are on display at the Disneyland Ticket Booth:



Houston, we have a match, and it's “Mary Poppins”!



Unfortunately, I could not find a better shot of the Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color poster, but…in this previously posted July 1966 image:



a zoom-in provides a little bit of improvement:



The other movie poster in this 1966 image is for "The Ugly Dachshund," a somewhat forgotten Disney flick starring Dean Jones and Suzanne Pleshette.



Are you wanting more? Of course you are; you're only human…at least I hope you are. Gather up your "E" tickets and visit my main website to see more Disneyland entrance and exit photos.

Julie Reihm: Modeling the Model

For Disneyland's 10th Anniversary, Walt recruited Julie Reihm as his sidekick for a January 1965 episode of "Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color." Here, Walt tells the dark-haired Disneyland Ambassador (the very first one) about the Plaza Inn Restaurant, which was in the process of being remodeled from its original incarnation, The Red Wagon Inn.

The master storyteller also showed off his upcoming projects including it's a small world, New Orleans Square (visible in the above photo in the painting behind Reihm), Pirates of the Caribbean…



and the Haunted Mansion.

Below, Imagineer John Hench, the one in charge of the Red Wagon Inn remodel, takes a gander at the same model with Walt.



Reihm came back to the Plaza Inn to cut the cake for the Tencennial Press Party on July 18, 1965:
