Disneyland on August 29, 1957

Let’s take a trip to Disneyland on August 29, 1957. A bunch of great little auctions recently went out on Ebay that were from a teenager who visited Disneyland frequently in the late 1950’s. Most of these auctions had; Parking lot Flyers, shop bags, parking tickets and these great little “notes” kept by the Junior guest showing how much was spent at the Happiest Place on Earth. Well, the first group of auctions have already ended and most were outside of my “kiddyland” price range so all I got was this one – so far. I see the seller has recently added 8 more groups of auctions (link). Hopefully I can pick up a few.

From the group I did purchase, here is the Parking Lot Flyer. There’s our favorite thrifty Scottish Dumbo!






That 1950’s family is so cool and they're so happy they’re gleaming!






Summer hours – Open every day!!!






To me, these little notes are the best park of the group. Our Junior guest was very detailed in his/her spending. There's quite a bit of information on these little sheets.








Here’s the parking ticket with the location actually marked, who does that??? Looks like they left the park and came back later that day.






These are the “notes” from the auctions that have already ended and I did not win. At first I felt bad about “borrowing” these pics, but since I did win one of his auctions, seems like it should be ok.












One of the auctions had this postcard, I'm guessing it's rare since it sold for over $200!!!! UPDATE: Major says this sold for a final price of $566 - WOW!!!!
