Teen Magazine - June 1961

Welcome to Magazine Monday. Today we’ve got ‘Teen Magazine from June 1961. Be sure and check out both previous ‘Teen Magazine posts here; February 1961 (link) and September 1962 (link).

“Teenage Woman” Tuesday Weld graces this issues cover.





The Disneyland article of course is not about Disneyland, it’s about new clothes! Are those ticket books the young ladies are holding?





These would be the exact type of books the princess’s are holding.





These 5 Adventure books were similar to the books you could purchase once inside the park, they have no admission ticket attached. This book however is a “Courtesy Guest” book and was not for sale.





Five tickets like this are inside, good for ANY ride or attraction. Choose wisely.






Back to the article, I wonder if the young ladies got to keep the tickets?








“Too much sugar in a tea cup”? Lollie-pop colored blouses and Soda-pop shades of lipstick.






Those candy apples are going to get messy! The Dumbo’s look like they have the flapping ears, I bet they weren’t working by 1961.






Crisp looking classic shirts for “me hearties”.






For all of you Tuesday Weld fans out there, here’s the truth about Tu Tu.






The truth is she likes to date famous older men!






And she drives a dark green 1961 Lincoln Continental – nice car!








“Cinemascoop” features Troy Donahue & Connie Stevens in "Parrish", hey there’s Hayley Mills from Walt Disney’s “Parent Trap”. Check out those Tiki’s! Interestingly, that address in Pasadena is single family home (Google map) and it looks pretty old, was some guy selling these out of his house in 1961? I wonder if he has any left, I want Tiki good #3.






Let’s take a peek at Annette’s private life shall we? I see she’s working on Walt Disney’s Technicolor music “Babes in Toyland”. Walt’s company was everywhere even back in 1961!






This advertisement got my interest, Free Roller Skating! Two free tickets to anyone who presents the coupon below to a RSROA roller rink! Let me know when they call for Men’s Speed Skating, I’m all over it!






What is this “secret” they are talking about? Never mind, I don’t wanna know!





Is “Dental Cream” the same thing as “Tooth Paste”?






This Kartoon Kutie has a familiar last name.






My favorite Hanna-Barbera cartoon Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddie are highly underrated even to his day.






And lastly, some Dingbat Doodles. These are like the Playboy cartoons without the nasty part.

Bonus Sunday

Welcome to Bonus Sunday, from Tuesdays "Unlock the Magic" post (link) here is the entire issue of Vacationland for the Spring of 1983


Vacationland Spring 1983 - 112mb






For my good friend Tokyo Magic, here's where it all began.







Great 60th anniversary centerfold! Looks like we'll be celebrating 90 years soon!






Here's a great little article for my buddy Don Ballard of at The Magical Hotel Blog.






How long was the "Brass Boutique" at the park, I don't recall that one!






Super Knott's advertisement on the back cover. I was just at Knott's yesterday, its was a great day - I had the full friend chicken dinner, YUM YUM!!! Great visiting with you Dave and Chris!

Happy Hearts Days at Disneyland - 1986

The “Happy Hearts Days” promotion at Disneyland in the spring of 1986 consisted of discount tickets for Disabled Persons, Families and Friends. At $9.95 these advance tickets were almost half off the regular adult passport price of $18. What a super program. I’m pretty sure they still have programs like this and much more.





Not that anyone should even think about cheating on a program like this, that’s so wrong. If you did cheat, that Donald Duck above would haunt your dreams for all of eternity. But how did they verify the purchaser was a Disabled person or did they?

From a previous post, here is one of the earlier Handicapped Guest guides.

Disneyland Grad Nite - 1965

Are you ready for some Vintage Disneyland Grad Nite posts? They’ll be more next week, but lets started off today with this beautiful brochure from Grad Nite 1965. Be sure and check out my previous Grand nite 65 (and 64) post here (link).

That’s got to be one of the best Grad Nite covers I’ve ever seen, I so dig that art work!

Does that really say what it looks like it says about KFWB? "Featuring Color Radio's popular DJ Larry McCormick." For those L.A. readers, that's the same Larry McCormick that spent over three decades hosting KTLA-5 News.

Disneyland Holiday Inn - 1969

Here’s a great little glossy brochure from 1969 for the Holiday Inn at Disneyland. No longer a Holiday Inn, this structure is now the Red Lion Hotel and has been significantly remodeled; check them out here (link).





Does that pool have a sheet of glass on it? What’s with the guy in the background in the slacks and shoes but no shirt, nerd alert! The Deluxe guest room is too groovy for words.






That’s an interestingly stylized Disneyland.






Taking a couple of ideas from Disneyland the hotel featured a “Ship’ Lounge” and a “Polynesian Dining Room” – such elegance.






Only two blocks south of Disneyland! Neato drawings of the new Anaheim Convention Center and the New Anaheim Stadium, hey I think I can see Jason's house from there!






These prices are looking pretty good.





This computerized “Holidex” reservation system printout confirms; 1 room, 2 beds, 3 persons, 4 nights beginning August 4th. Too bad these reservations appear to have been cancelled on July 26, 1969 at 3:00p. All those unrealized happy memories…





Holiday Inn “Guest Certificates”, who knew!

Unlock the Magic - June 1, 1983

It's June 1, 1983 and you're invited to the Dedication Ceremony of the New Fantasyland! This "Cast Premiere" ticket implies it's for the official grand re-opening, but in reality this is at least the 2nd dedication ceremony since I have an identical ticket for May 26, 1983. I guess it's not practical to have all the cast members go on one night, who'd be working? Did they lower the draw-bridge for each ceremony?







The Spring 1983 Vacationland has a fun cover.

Since the new Fantasyland was not finished when this was published we get some awesome concept art!



Come back on Bonus Sunday for the entire issue.
