Here's a great image of Walt Disney reading stories at Disneyland in 1966. (Click photo to enlarge.) It came from a magazine ad for RCA television sets, which also served to promote Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color TV program. The image was posted in two parts (which I cobbled together) in a recent post on the Vintage Disneyland Tickets blog..
Currently, an enormous "Wonderful World of Color" water/pyrotechnics show (ala Fantasmic) is being built in the Disney's California Adventure theme park. We can only hope the show will mark the big Ludwig von Drake comeback we've been waiting for all these years.

The Anaheim Historical Society's next meeting will feature Jeff Smith of Natural by Design Landscape. Jeff will discuss how California's landscape developed over time, with emphasis on the availability of water in the choice plantings. The meeting will be held March 31, 7pm, at the Ebell Clubhouse at Helena and Cypress Streets, across from the tennis courts at Pearson Park.
