At Philip Weiss Auctions in Oceanside, N.Y., will be shown important Disney items (to include the complete and original 1953 Disneyland prospectus, drafted by Walt Disney himself and outlining his ideas for the iconic theme park in California). The auction will be held the weekend of Dec. 16-18 in the firm’s showroom at #1 Neil Court.
The Disneyland prospectus is one of only three printed and probably is the only one that has survived intact and complete. It comes with maps and the words and images of Walt Disney and artist Herb Ryman. The information contained in the prospectus would be used the following year to break ground on Disneyland, one of the most famous and visited family amusement parks in the world. It remains as a monument to the vision of Walt Disney, along with Disney World.
