Last night i was with a couple of friends and we were watching a episode of Uncle Walt's 'Wonderful World of Color'.
In this particular vintage episode, from 1966 if i am remembering correctly, Uncle Walt took us on a grand tour of all the brand new additions to Disneyland.
This included amazing footage of the original incarnations of various Attractions, many from the World's Fair that ended the prior year.
'Small World, 'Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln', New Orleans Square, DLRR Diorama, current entertainment, X-mas Parade, and more.
It was absolutely awesome and i wanted to watch five hours of this stuff.
We are truly lucky that there were people before us who had the foresight to film all of these happenings....as they happened....at the Park back then when Uncle Walt was still around.
It was nothing short of pure joy watching that 50 minutes of pure nostalgia and true history.
That classic old tv show is still a VERY powerful marketing tool.
Half way through the presentation, i suddenly felt the desire that i wanted to return to Disneyland soon.
Uncle Walt, working his television magic...back when tv was worth watching !
