Again, exactly the same.

April 5 - Walt Disney's Guide to Disneyland (1964)

The back cover of the guide shows some updated attractions:

Main Street lost the Shooting Gallery, and now has the Penny Arcade.

Tomorrowland remained the same.

In Fantasyland, the Mickey Mouse Club Theatre changed it's name to the Fantasyland Theatre.

Nothing changed in Frontierland.

Adventureland had the most change in the Park, adding the Swiss Family Treet House, the Tiki Room, and a Big Game Gallery, which is an "exciting shooting gallery with an African motif."

April 4 - Walt Disney's Guide to Disneyland 1964

Onto the 1964 Disneyland Guide. Because this is only three years removed from the last book I posted, and they share many of the same images, I am going to do a comparison between the two books. This will not be the most in-depth look at the parks, but still...

Images will be hosted (as always) on my Flickr account, for all to view. The set is located here and images will be uploaded as they are posted here.

Final 2 pages of Main Street USA.

Walt Disney's Guide to Disneyland - Front Cover, originally uploaded by Jeremy ES.

Another series of scans from long out-of-print books! Yay! As things move forward, this is going to become more the focus of this little blog than posting photos from the Parks with little nuggets of trivia.

I want to share the stuff I've accumulated over the last couple years as I've become a huge fan of the Disney Park experience. Hopefully, much of this will be items that are not easily available, espically in high quality online. There will be more maps coming, many of which are common, more guide books from the early days of the park, and SOPs for rides. Everything will be in high resolution, cleaned up as much as possible, and easily made available.

There will not be any current items scanned which are available for purchase in retail stores. When I get around to writing up book reviews, I will use excepts, but also link to information on how to purchase the titles.

There will still be the posts about my struggles to stop buying so much stuff. It is not going too well at the time, but we are trying to buy a better house, and things need to be bought. I still have not bought any toys this year, and the majority of purchases have been made using funds from selling stuff on Amazon. So while not nearly perfect, I am keeping myself aware of what I'm buying and not shopping with abandon.
