If I were a film buff and had a way to show this, I would jump. But I'm not and I don't. I don't even fully understand what this is, but perhaps you do. This is 16mm footage of Disneyland shot in Cinerama anamorphic format by Bausch and Lomb. It's a visual tour through early '60s Disneyland, complete with the Flying Saucers, Jungle Cruise, and the Matterhorn. No sound, but it seems awesome nonetheless.
This is ultra-cool... This is the Marx Disneyland Express train, or, if you prefer, The Mickey Mouse Express, or the Walt Disney Train Set, or the Donald Duck R.R. (Whew!). Unfortunately, there is no box with this item, but it is in great condition.
I'd seen the Mickey Mouse flasher buttons, but didn't realize it came from a set. Here's the Donald Duck version, the Disneyland is Ducky flasher button.
Even though the description doesn't specifically say "Frontierland," I'm going to go ahead and make the assumption it came from there. I'm guessing this didn't actually come off a horse, however, as the "Good Luck from Disneyland" script might have been a tad uncomfortable for the horse.

It's like a Viewmaster, but shaped like a TV. So can see Disneyland on TV, see? I don't see any reels, so I'm guessing you can't change them out...?

I'm not sure what the point of a Disneyland hard hat is, unless it was used to promote the construction of Disneyland (I seem to remember they did that in the late '90s with the new Tomorrowland construction), but this thing is pretty sweet. I especially like the Tomorrowland logo (click through to see more photos).

This is seriously cool. It's vintage Disneyland gift wrap - unused! - circa 1958. I would frame it as-is; look at that artwork!
Bidding is already hot and heavy on this one, so get on it.

I don't smoke myself, so have no use for something like this, but I love the "everyday" items that have been branded with Disneyland. This is art-deco style with a Sleeping Beauty Castle relief on one side. Hmmm... I guess I could light candles with this, couldn't I?

Once again, not really "Disneyland" except the packaging says so, but how can you argue when the packaging looks like this? It also includes punch-out paper characters to dress up your otherwise drab, Disney-less cake.

(BAH! eBay To Go is down right now. I'll have to talk to someone about that.)
