Teen Magazine - September 1962

Welcome to Magazine Monday. Today we’ve got Teen Magazine from September 1962. If you missed the first Teen Magazine Monday post (February 1961), check it out here (link).






The Disneyland article is this issue is all about Grad Nite 1962. You can see a “live” Grad Nite 62’ dance photo over at Daveland’s blog (link) and my parents at Grad Nite 62’ here on my blog (link).






There are a lot of great photos in this article; some are pretty bright for night time!










Here’s a nice four page article on our cover girl Ann Margret.






Wow, Ann is looking pretty sultry here. I always wondered, did Viva Las Vegas help her acting career or kill it?






Cover guy Bobby Rydell gets a small side note in this “Fad’s and Fancies” page.






Now for some classic vintage advertisements. “Brush 3 ways clean the Colgate Way!”






Mary Tyler Moore? Jackie Kennedy? Nope, just fashions by Betty Barclay.






I guess the teens targeted in this magazine were girls! This adds a whole new means to “go for the ring”.






Life as a teen in the early 60’s was about choices, so you decide which one is best for you.






Lastly, how about some Big Daddy comics? Either this isn’t funny or I just don’t get it, probably both.

Bonus Sunday

Welcome to Bonus Sunday. From Wednesday's "Cinderella Day" post (link), here is the entire Winter/Spring 1972 edition of Vacationland.


Vacationland Winter/Spring 1972 - 72mb






The second half of the "World of Tomorrow Today" article.






Great centerfold. The scan is correct, the top is cut off that way in the magazine, I'm not sure why they did it that way.







A few advertisements for other theme parks.















A quick note about the Vacationland magazines. I’m getting close to collecting all 90 issues (1957 thru 1984). I am missing the 10 issues shown below. If anyone has these and would like to sell or trade them, please let me know. I have many (35+) duplicates of the 80 issues so maybe we can work out a trade with issues you may need for your collection. Contact me at: VintageDisneylandTickets@gmail.com

The Space Age Lodge - Revisited

Visit Disneyland and stay at the Space Age Lodge. Staying with the last two posts, this Space Age brochure is from 1972 (Nov. 1, 1971 to Dec. 31, 1972). Be sure and check out the previous visit to the lodge on this prior post (link). The lobby building looks like it’s already been updated from the previous brochure.






Look at all the fun places to visit during your Anaheim vacation.






I would guess this is a couple years later than the previous brochure; the TV in the room looks a little newer. The room décor however looks just a lovely as before. That shuttle bus is nightmare inducing! I wonder what happened to their VW Van shown in the previous brochure.






Those are some amazing deals. Each package includes lodging and admission tickets to multiple parks!






“Go by Air”. Ok, so those rates aren’t so cheap. If you shop wisely you can still get similar airline rate today. Don’t bother calling some of those airlines, they are long gone.

Disneyland Pocket Calendar - December 1971 thru May 1972

Staying with yesterday’s March 1972 post, here’ s a fun little pocket calendar for Disneyland from December 1971 though May 1972. On March 21, 1972 the park opened only for a private party, which seems odd. Maybe it had something to do with the Grand Opening of Bear County, which was March 4, 1972, 38 years ago today!






Looks like Cinderella Day was actually a “Festival” and was held on two days, March 3 and March 4, 1972. “Private Parties” were held at night on those days.






Another “Private Party” only held on December 6. Wow, Disneyland was closed on Valentine’s Day 1972!

Cinderella Day at Disneyland - March 3, 1972

It’s Cinderella Day at Disneyland, Friday March 3, 1972. Obviously geared towards women, this daytime event included unlimited use of all attractions (except Shooting Galleries) PLUS; Fashion Shows, Garden Tours, Cooking Shows and a Free Recipe Book. I wonder if this (link) was the recipe book? French Market Onion Soup, Tom Sawyer’s Fish Skewer’s, Peco’s Bill’s Chili Con Carne – wow, now I’m hungry!






How about a look at a swell edition of Vacationland? From Winter/Spring 1972, isn’t the cover great? This is one of my favorite covers. Come back on Bonus Sunday for the entire issue.






Here’s OUR Tomorrowland! Interesting that Carousel of Progress gets three photos, wasn’t it removed not long after this? Mission control sure looks inviting, on my last “Flight to Mars” in the early 90’s I still marveled at Mission Control, I miss it.






If I ever have the need to give a gift to that special someone, that Cheeseburger Candle has got to be it!






This issue was printed just a few months before Bear County would open, however the bears didn’t make it on this map. The Indian Village is noticeably absent.






What kind of ink did they print these old Dolly Madison advertisements with? It so thick and even, it reminds me of the high-end paint they use at Disneyland. This ad is 38 years old, and it looks brand new. “Interstate Brands Corp.” now owns Hostess!

The Disney World - July 1967

Welcome to Magazine Monday. Since the Disneyland magazine stack is getting pretty low I thought we’d take a look at something a little more interesting today. From July 1967 it’s “The Disney World”. There was quite a bit of Walt’s energy still flowing though his company at this point. Walt’s most recent ideas were all still being worked on, keeping everyone very busy. There are so many references to Walt that you can almost feel a sense of “What's Next” from the editors.

The front and back covers make for one great photo of the Burbank Studio.






The preface explains Walt’s Living Legacy. I need to get that June 1967 Readers Digest!






That is one cool flow chart. There will be a quiz later.






Roy’s message “We will try and have one Mary Poppins a year, at least”. No pressure there!






Fascinating stuff about the start of the Florida project.






WED was on its game in 1967! Wow, those Goodyear Display’s take me to my happy place.






Great stuff about Audio-Animatronics.






WED’s Glendra von Kessel is working on the painted glass that can still be found in New Orleans Square (link).






Disneyland has made $3.40 per second! Awesome parking lot shot!






All kinds of amazing stuff in the New Tomorrowland 67! Bell previews a Picture Phone link with EXPO 67, wow I bet someday everyone will be using Picture Phones.






More than you ever wanted to know about the Disneyland University.






Neat story about how the Disneyland Lessees joined together to place nine advertisements in the June 1967 issue of Look Magazine which you can see here (link). This fact according to the article: Monsanto's Home of the Future boasts "15,000,000 visitors later this home still has a future" yeah, about a month...






More than just a VIP lounge, Club 33 opens at Disneyland. Since I’ve never been to Club 33 (hint, hint to anyone who will take me!) do they really have audio-animatronics consisting of an owl, a raccoon, two magpies and a leering vulture? And the owl holds conversations with guests?






I miss Circle-Vision, I don’t miss getting dizzy, but I finally had figured out by just staying put and not constantly turning around you can lessen the effects of motion sickness..






Mineral King was still alive and kicking in 1967. I can only assume that the approval for the four-lane highway never came thru.





I was going to post this entire issue of The Disney World on this upcoming Sunday, but since I had no post yesterday, here’s the entire issue.



The Disney World July 1967 – 102mb



And for some color, the back cover.
