Disneyland's Super Summer 1970

I know, its the middle of winter, but today it's "Disneyland's Super Summer"! The picture on the front of this July 27 - August 2, 1970 gate handout is supposed to be blurry, it's not my new scanner (btw, how's are the scans looking?). "Show me America" was part of the parks 15th Anniversary celebration according to the Disneyland Collector Series Cards (link). I find it odd there is NO mention of the 15th Anniversary anywhere in this gate handout. Ten days after the Anniversary and it was done. The 50th, well, is it still going on?





Man oh man Disneyland used to ROCK OUT! Check out all the entertainment. Conway Twitty! My Grandma used to have his 8 track in her car! The Fantasy Ballroom with the Harry James and His Orchestra sounds dreamy. And I'd love to dance with those hip girls at the Tomorrowland Terrace while listening to pleasuring sounds of Sound Castle, Ltd!





Check out the back, there is even MORE to see - Parkwide Entertainment and Nighttime Magic.




And here is a May 1970 Junior Ticket book. It's full except for the admission on the front. I bet this teenager had so much fun with all that dancing and entertainment shown above, they didn't have time for the ticketed attractions.... Nah.....





It really is amazing to me how much entertainment Disneyland used to have. And this is when you could buy a general admission ticket for a couple bucks! That was a true value. That was Walt.
