© Nature’s Wonderland © Seeing Southern California @ The Art of Al in © Browsing at Disneyland"Toke many unique “firsts” that have put Disneyland at the top of vacationers’ list from all over America added a new dimension this past summer when Walt Disney unveiled his newest attraction, “Nature's Wonderland.” To visitors familiar with the famed Disney set of True Life Adventure films of recent years, enter- ing Nature's Wonderland is an opportunity to get re-acquainted with some old friends. The area, a seven-acre parcel of Frontierland, has been re-created in the image of wilderness North America. eae oe ‘Walt has “‘stocked” his preserve with more than 200 animated animals, birds and reptiles, each brought to startling and life-like realism through an animation process known as “Audio Anima- tronics,” invented and perfected through the com- bined talents of Disney artists, technicians and naturalists. Beaver Valley, Bear Country, Old Unfaithful Geyser, the Living Desert and many more are the sights and spectacles of Nature's Wonderland. Here Nature herself is the dramatist, filling the view with scenes of high adventure, suspense and even smiles. The real life struggle for survival is the theme of Nature's Wonderland and the animal life of the North American Continent are the actors. Nature's Wonderland is reached via western mine train, boarded at the quaint and picturesque “Ghost Town” of Rainbow Ridge in Frontierland. The train's right o' way is the only sign that civilization and man have intruded into this region of primeval forests, lofty mountains, ancient mesas and powder- dry desert. Hardier pioneers may find a tour of the new area via sturdy pack mules to their liking—either way, the “show” is unequalled short of an actual journey through virtually inaccessible portions of the west- ern United States. Spectacular finale to the western Mine Train's passage is the trip, seemingly deep underground, through Rainbow Caverns, a symphony of color in cascading falls, stalagmites and stalactites and a source of pleasure to all who view its wonders. VACATIONLAND VACATIONLAND Magazine is published four times each year by Disneyland, Ine. and distributed, through motels, hotels, airlines, railroads and steamship lines as a service to visitors to the Southwest.

Anvtine is 2 good time to visit Disneyland, but the best time depends on you. During the Fall-Winter season, when the children are back in their classrooms, Disney- landyis a special treat for grownups. This is the time of year when folks who visit Walt Disney's Anaheim Magic Kingdom take their fun at an unhurried leisurely pace. ‘The pace of Disneyland during Fall is dif- ferent. Visitors are able to pick and choose at their pleasure from among the Park’s doz- ens of major adventures. They also find it easy to browse through Disneyland’s more than 50 retail shops, many stocking iter that are unique in Southern California. VACATIONLAND All the special shows and exhibits—includ- ing the great assortment of live talent and entertainment such as the Frontierland Gold- en Horseshoe Revue, presented free of charge by Pepsi Cola—operate for the pleasure of winter season guests. ‘The famed Disneyland Band presents daily concerts while smaller musical groups per- form at intervals in each of the lands, includ- ing a Dixieland group for Frontierland and the unique Saxophone Quartet, playing old favorites on Main Street. Another “special” feature during fall that has a strong appeal to many Disneyland guests—particularly “first time” visitors—is Continued pooe 12 1Browsing Through Disneyland SOMEWHERE WITHIN THE MAGIC KINGDOM THERE'S SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE! The Disneyland “show” is much more than the dozens of adventures and attractions that have won the Park national and international acclaim. Disneyland is hundreds of individual shows that appeal to visitors of every age and interest, from every walk of life, Browse with us through the five lands of the Magic Kingdom, and stop now and then to sample a live show or investigate a shop stocked with unusual items or spend a few moments at an exhibit sponsored by American industry. Enter the Park at Main Street, U.S.A. and notice immediately that here is a new world—actually an old world charmingly re-created, kept immaculately fresh and up to date through the painstaking care and attention given to each brick, stone and clapboard, Authentic gas lamps, hitching posts and park benches of an earlier era complement the late- of Main Street. Victorian period architecture GounEN wonstsHor atvue na rood out he ot fis Se ro ante preterm Along its two-block length Main Street bustles with the activity of shops, restaurants and stores. Drop into Swift's Market House and “listen in” on party line wall telephones right out of the past or browse through the exquisitely re-created Upjohn Pharmacy, an apothecary shop right out of the McKinley era. Yale & Towne Company presents an informative display of the locksmith’s art from earliest time to the present at its Main Street exhibit. Relax for a few moments at one of the daily organ concerts presented in the Wurlitzer Music Hall and inspect the collection of historical pianos kept there. Or wander through any of more than a dozen fine shops offering wares far out-of-the-ordinary. ‘At the Plaza, at the end of Main Street, you're in the geographic heart of Disneyland. Here the Park's particular beauty in the landscaper’s art is most apparent and appreciated. Only on the grounds of a few private country estates could the visitor find such a magnificent collection of floral displays and examples of the land- scaper’s craft. Now, pause for a few moments before beginning your tour of the four “lands”: if it is mid afternoon you'll probably see the Disneyland Band in its Plaza Gardens band shell performing in con- cert. Here is a refreshing lift as the melodies of favorites, old and new, fill the warm autumn afternoon, Now, take your pick among the lands: If the world of the future intrigues you, tour Tomorrowland first, Homemakers will find a walk through the unique Monsanto House of the Future a fas- cinating foretaste of things to come. If the world of science excites your imagination spend a few moments at the Monsanto Hall of Chemistry. Close by, the Bell Telephone System's presentation of “America the Beautiful” in Circarama is a 20- minute cross-country excursion of our nation that will appeal to every visitor. The Dutch Boy Color Gallery, the Tomorrowland Art Corner and gift shops all provide interesting diversion. Re-tracing your steps to enter Adventureland you'll find a browsers’ paradise in the exotic, unusual Adventureland Bazaar. The “natives” are friendly— and always willing to chat or trade depending on your mood at the moment. Only paces away in distance, but worlds away from Adventureland in mood, is Frontierland with its roaring, rollicking Golden Horseshoe Revue, pre- sented several times daily by Pepsi Cola. This live- action variety show, complete with singing stars and comic, beautiful Can-Can girls and lovely music, is a long-run, long-time Disneyland favorite and one of the real Disiteyland highlights. Be sure it's on your list of browsers’ musts.

Ceremonial dances are performed every Saturday and Sunday and “resident” Indians ply traditional Indian handi- crafts for your inspection.

However it has only been in our generation—the past thirty years or so—that the techniques of animation have been perfected to the point where it ranks well up among the commercial art forms. From the first crude renderings of Stone Age Man to the art’s finest flowering in Walt Disney's feature length all-cartoon “Sleeping Beauty,” is the story told by one of Disneyland’s newest attractions, a Tomorrowland show titled “The Art of Animation.” Each step in the development of the art is chronicled via story board and film with sound. The early motion picture efforts are described in the exhibit, then the de- velopment of the art since Walt Disney first began to make cartoons in Kansas City in 1921. The show reveals that the animated cartoon came into its own on Septem- ber 19, 1928 when “Steamboat Willie,” the first Mickey Mouse with sound, opened in New York City. Innovations followed introduction of new techniques and, by 1937, when Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was presented to the world, the art of animation was accepted by all as a major art form in its own right. The exhibit on view at Disneyland has been presented throughout the world by Walt Disney, playing to hun- dreds of thousands of persons in cities such as Tokyo, London and others. Now it is another feature of the Park's fall-winter show.
