Disneyland Resort August 2011 Slideshow

One year late I know... finally got around to making a video slideshow of my August 2011 trip to the Disneyland Resort! You can check out the video here:

Tomorrowland Pin Set (2005)

Here is a lovely pin set released in 2005 to coincide with Disneyland's 50th Anniversary celebration. It features the poster art of three classic Tomorrowland attractions: the Skyway, Submarine Voyage, and Autopia, with pins for the blue Skyway cabin, mermaid, and blue car in each respective poster.

 

As you can see, the top says "Disneyland" and the bottom says "Tomorrowland" - this bottom qualifier implies that this could have been part of a potential series, for all the lands. (Otherwise, why include the "Tomrorowland" distinction?) This was the only one released as far as I know, but as an optimistic Disney dreamer I always love to think "what if...?"

Disneyland Thermos

This is a thermos I found at a thrift store a few months back. It's definitely not in clean (usable) condition but the metal is undented and it's cool to look at the artwork design on it. The size is 16 oz (half pint) and is made by Aladdin Industries in Nashville, TN.

Mark Twain Riverboat

                       

Casey Junior Circus Train and Mark Twain Riverboat .... in real life these attractions are nowhere near each other!

   There is no copyright year or date given, but based on the artwork provided, we can make assumptions on when this was created and sold in Disneyland. The newest attraction featured is Tom Sawyer Island (1956) and the use of Casey Jr as the train in the background (as opposed to the Mine Train Ride Thru Nature's Wonderland, which opened in 1960) tells us that the Mine Train Ride had not yet opened, dating the thermos some time between 1956-1960.
