Backstage Disneyland (Summer 1980)

16 pages + covers, 11" x 8.5"

This Summer 1980 issue of the humorous publication for Disneyland cast members features a wraparound cover of Charles Boyer's painting of Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse driving a model of Sleeping Beauty castle on a highway through the orange groves of Orange County, California.

Inside are a photo essay of actors portraying a fanciful story of the genesis of Disneyland in Walt Disney's imagination; "confessions" of Wally Boag, star of the Golden Horseshoe Revue; a photo-illustrated article on opening day difficulties at Disneyland; a look back over 25 years; and more. The parody of the Disneyland telephone system (called Dimentia) is still attached at the back.
