VAN EATON GALLERIES PRESENTS

Welcome to our first Disney Parks auction of 2021. It has certainly been an unusual 12 months for all of us here at our Gallery, as I’m sure it has also been for you as well. As we enter 2021, we have a lot to be thankful for and a lot to look forward to. Disneyland has been closed for almost a full year, and as it starts to reopen, we thought it was the perfect time to look back at the history of the Disney Parks through the artifacts and the people that have helped make them such a cherished part of our lives. This auction is a wonderful mixture of the history of the Disney Studio, the Disney Parks, and Walt Disney himself. This collection would not have been possible without the dedicated Disney enthusiasts that have brought in these treasured park relics for us to enjoy anew. I want to give special thanks to a few of these amazing people that have contributed to this catalog: My thanks begin with the family of Marian Guiver. Marian was an avid Disneyana and Disney Park collector and enthusiast. She became one of the founding members, and the first President, of The National Fantasy Fan Club (NFFC) when it formed in 1984. Her love of all things Disney is evident in her outstanding collection of artifacts and memorabilia. I cannot thank her family enough for allowing us to share her collection. Randy Bell began working at Club 33 in 1977. He met his future wife, Brenda Wall, there in 1978, and together, they raised three wonderful children. A fixture at the club, both Randy and Brenda had a love and passion for the park that was evident in the dedication and affection they shared with the thousands of guests they encountered throughout their over 40-year careers. Sadly, Randy passed away in 2019, and Brenda has retired to spend time with her grandchildren. We are so honored to be able to share some of the amazing artifacts and memorabilia that they have amassed throughout their time at the park. And finally, a special thank you to mega-collector Ron Clark. Ron has supplied us with some of the most historically important and meaningful pieces that we have had in our past auctions, and for this auction he has come through again with an amazing mosaic that was once part of Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland. Thank you, Ron, for entrusting your treasures to us. Lastly, I want to thank you, the reader, for taking time to learn about these wonderful collectors who have helped preserve the history of the Disney Parks, and to read about these park relics that date from Disneyland’s opening year in 1955 to more modern times. I hope you enjoy this catalog as much as we have enjoyed making it, and I hope to see you all in person one day in the near future. -Mike Van Eaton

VAN EATON GALLERIES PRESENTS Walt and Roy Disney opened the Disney Brother Studios in 1923 in a rented garage in Hollywood. From those humble beginnings the company has grown into the entertainment giant we know today. While Mickey Mouse shorts and features like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs brought the Studio critical and popular acclaim, it was merchandising pioneer Kay Kaymen that created a revenue stream through the licensing of Disney’s characters that would finance the Studio for years to come.

81. Fix-It Felix Jr. Arcade Game. (Disneyland, 2012) An original Fix-It Felix Jr. arcade game used at Disneyland’s Starcade in Tomorrowland. This is one of a very small number of Wreck-It Ralph promotional arcade games created by Disney to be used at special event locations such as the Starcade in Tomorrowland. In the film, Fix-It Felix Jr. is a vintage arcade game from a bygone era. Keeping with this fictional history, this real-life version of the game was intentionally distressed for an added degree of authenticity, allowing the faux-weathered exterior to compliment the retro graphics. The coin/ service door is secured with a metal bar and padlock. The machine does not need or accept change, and the door remains unlocked. The artwork on each side of the cabinet consists of a large vinyl decal of Felix and Ralph, and these features in particular have undergone extensive intentional wear, such as slashes, tears, missing portions, scratches, and scuffs. The back panel can be unscrewed to reveal the electronics of the machine, which consists of a partial 2012-era PC computer running Windows XP hooked up to the cabinet’s analog monitor and control panel. A toggle switch on the back at bottom right turns on the cabinet lights and computer, which in turn boots up the game. The electronics have been tested and are in working order. Measuring 66.5”x23.5” and 33” deep, this fully functional arcade machine is in very good condition. Elements of studio distress include surface scrapes and scratches to the cabinet overall, yellowing to the control panel as if from oxidized screws or cigarette burns, paint loss, peeling to the vintage Insert Coin decal, and more. This item may require special shipping arrangements, please inquire for details and estimates. $7,000-$10,000 28

VAN EATON GALLERIES PRESENTS Walt Disney had a passion for steam trains and railroading which dated back to his youth. In 1950, Walt designed and built The Carolwood Pacific, a 1/2-mile miniature railroad to run 1:8 scale steam locomotives in his backyard. It was this railroad that inspired Walt to build a railroad around Disneyland, and The Carolwood Pacific Railroad today represents the ingenuity, craftsmanship, and imagination of Walt Disney.

91. Walt Disney’s Carolwood Pacific Railroad Track Segment. (Disney, 1950-64) A segment of original track from the Carolwood Pacific Railroad, Walt Disney’s personal backyard miniature railroad at his Holmby Hills estate. Inspired by friends Ollie Johnson and Ward Kimball, who themselves created personal railroads, Walt Disney turned his lifelong fascination with trains into the Carolwood Pacific, which boasted 2,615 feet of track and a 1:8 scale live steam locomotive named Lilly Belle, after his wife Lillian. This actual segment of the 7 1/4” gauge track over which Walt drove his engine is complete with rails, ties, and spikes. In 1964, with his theme park in full swing, Walt decided to have the Carolwood Pacific track dismantled. Following its removal from his estate, this track segment was framed over an added bed of rocks representative of the original terrain. A photo of Walt and the Carolwood Pacific as well as a commemorative plaque are displayed within the frame. The track measures 22”x13” and the frame is 30”x18” and 3” deep.

97. Walt Disney & Lillian Disney Signed Loan Agreement. (Disneyland, 1954) An extraordinary loan agreement signed by both Walt Disney and his wife Lillian Disney. In 1953, Walt exhausted every option available to him to get the financing he needed to build his dream theme park. Banks, lenders, and even his own Studio rejected his proposals. Confident that his park would be a success, Walt took a $60,000 loan against his own life insurance policy, an exceptionally risky loan agreement, with the Commerce Trust Company of Kansas City, Missouri. In 1954, Walt was unable to pay back the loan as all of his funds were tied up in the construction of Disneyland, which would open the following year. Executed in 1954, this agreement is the signed continuation of the terms of that 1953 loan. Without Walt’s loan and this signed agreement, it is quite possible that Disneyland would have never become a reality. 

Such was Walt’s conviction that Disneyland would be a success, that he put his life on the line, including the financial safety net of both his wife and children. While history would vindicate the visionary impresario, this document illustrates what a high-stake proposition Disneyland was for Walt both professionally and personally.

That Lillian consented to the agreement is a testament to her belief in her husband’s dreams, and a reminder of the strong relationship between the couple that provided a solid foundation for Walt throughout his professional career.

Walt signs in blue ink at lower right on the designated line, “Walter E. Disney,” and Lillian in black ink below, “Lillian B. Disney.” Measuring 8.25”x6.75”, the document is in very good condition with general handling wear from its original use. The document is matted with a black and white studio portrait of Walt and Lillian and a metal identification plaque. The display is presented in an ornate 21”x29.75” green and gold molded wood frame.

This historic piece was originally offered by the Walt Disney Studios as part of the Official Disneyana Convention of 2000. The original Disney COA is included. $3,000-$5,000 36


REDISCOVERING DISNEYLAND Walt Disney knew that if his park was going to succeed, he would need to surround himself with talented and creative individuals who could turn his dream into a reality. In 1953, Walt created WED Enterprises as a division to help design and build Disneyland. WED Enterprises would later become Walt Disney Imagineering, as a combination of “imagination” and “engineering.” Walt’s talented pool of artists and designers became known as “Imagineers,” and it is their original photographs, documents, and other artifacts that provide us with a historical record of the creation of Disneyland.

REDISCOVERING DISNEYLAND Originally hired at the Walt Disney Studios as an accountant, Milt Albright caught Walt’s eye in 1953 when he designed a prototype miniature car for Autopia, which was still in planning stages at the time.

He went on to become the manager of the short-lived Holidayland, and in 1957, he created the Magic Kingdom Club, which ultimately became the largest employee leisure benefit program in the country. He is also credited with the creation of the popular Grad Nite event. In 2005, Milt Albright was awarded the title of Disney Legend for his incredible contributions to the parks.

VAN EATON GALLERIES PRESENTS Walt Disney was convinced that the success of the park was dependent on having a quality hotel next to Disneyland. In 1954, Walt met Jack Wrather, a successful businessman who was looking to expand into the hotel business, and a partnership was made. A success from the moment it opened, the Disneyland Hotel remained under Wrather’s control until 1988, when the Walt Disney Company purchased the Wrather Corporation, and with it, ownership of the hotel. The hotel has gone through several changes over the years, and as the park has expanded, newer, more modern facilities have been built. Still, through it all, the Disneyland Hotel remains an integral and iconic part of Disneyland history.

260. Original 1962 Disneyland Park Map Painting. (Disneyland, 1962) An exceptionally rare original painting depicting a stylized map of Disneyland and its iconic attractions. This map was used in a 2-page spread within the popular 1962 park guidebook “Walt Disney’s Guide to Disneyland.” Countless guests would have used this exact map as they navigated the park during the height of Walt’s era. The map artwork offers a wonderful aerial view of the park and the attractions available in 1962. For this year’s guidebook, certain changes to the map had to be made based on the changes that were occurring at the park. In Tomorrowland, the iconic TWA Moonliner was changed from its familiar white and red to blue and purple tones, due to the end of Disney and TWA’s partnership in 1961. In Adventureland, the elephant bathing pool can be seen, which was added to the Jungle Cruise in 1962, and the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse also made its debut that same year. Additionally, rare attractions including the Flying Saucers, Pack Mules, and the Motor Boat Cruise are depicted, as well as park classics including the Disneyland Railroad, Autopia, Sleeping Beauty Castle, the Matterhorn, and many others. Any original artwork from this era is very scarce, with artwork such as this that is so well-known and was so prominently used being exceptionally rare. The map painting is accomplished in acrylic on art board and measures 16.75”x30”. The condition is very good with some edge wear and handling wear from use. The artwork comes framed with a copy of the 1962 guidebook in which the artwork is used. $4,000-$6,000 83

306. Mickey Mouse Club Headquarters Creation Archive.

The Headquarters was strongly cross-promoted through segments on the Mickey Mouse Club television show, which hoped to increase park-attendance. This incredible archive contains documents and inter-office communication from the earliest planning of the Headquarters to its opening in January of 1963, to operational data from its final year in 1964. These documents were created, sent, and received by some of Disneyland’s biggest names of the 1960s including Milt Albright, Donn Tatum, Card Walker, Ed Ettinger, Tommy Walker, and Dick Nunis, among others. Some of the highlights of this collection include typed documents with hand-written notes relating to the original planning of the Headquarters, including the suggestion that the Headquarters should be contained within the Opera House. Also included is operational data from the opening of the Headquarters, such as the number of membership applications filed, the number of member badges distributed, the costs of operation including a re-do of the interior of the Opera House, and much more. A hand-written concept for the membership application is included, as well as two copied samples of designs for the membership cards. There are over 150 pages of documentation in this incredible archive, which spans the entire history of the Disneyland attraction.

REDISCOVERING DISNEYLAND Debuting on June 17, 1972 at Disneyland, the Main Street Electrical Parade was an incredible visual feat unlike any parade which had been seen before it. The floats for the parade included over 500,000 tiny lightbulbs, all of which had to be hand-tinted. In developing the parade, Disney also created the first automated parade show-control program, which used radio-activated triggers to allow individual floats to trigger certain music as they entered each “zone” along the parade route, ensuring that all guests had the same parade experience. The nighttime spectacle had a remarkable 24 year run at Disneyland from 1972 to 1996, with performances at California Adventure from 20012010. It again returned to Disneyland for limited engagements in 2017 and 2019. The parade proved so popular that it was replicated at Walt Disney World, where it ran from 1977-1991, and returned again from 1999-2001 and from 2010-2016. Although currently on hiatus, the lasting popularity of the original version of the parade with its catchy “Baroque Hoedown” music ensures that the Main Street Electrical Parade will undoubtedly return to delight guests once again in the future.

In the original compendium of design documents created during the planning stages of the ride, this would have been the master rendering of the Mansion that provided context for all the subsequent detail plans and schematics. The creation of this document, then, was an indispensable step in solidifying the visions of Imagineers Marc Davis, X Atencio, Claude Coats, Rolly Crump, Yale Gracey, etc. and in designing the framework for the completion of this well-loved attraction. Claude Coats has signed his approval in the print and the blueline retains a partially legible internal WED inkstamp reading, “Received May [2]6 19[69].” Measuring 35.25”x43.5”, the print has been linen-backed for its preservation, and after conservation efforts, presents in good condition. While no restoration was performed, the linen-backing addressed a number of condition issues, either reversing or mitigating the effects of prior damage and preventing future deterioration. The left border is unevenly trimmed, there is a missing 2.5”x2” chunk at upper right. A 19” tear runs from the missing portion to the top margin, with a 3.5” tributary tear running vertically from the initial instance of separation. Additionally there is some moisture staining at upper right, a tide line running the vertical span of the piece at far left, and a few scattered stress lines ranging in size from 2”-4”. Though these defects are evident upon inspection, they do not detract from the overall appearance of this important piece. $1,000-$3,000 225

A complicated shoot, Toombs lip-synched to prerecorded dialog by voice actress Eleanor Audley, and had to be filmed while lying down to keep as still as possible, as any pronounced movements would have caused a distortion in the process by which her face was projected on the crystal ball, spoiling the effect. This print was made by a former Imagineer for their personal archive. Also included is a 35mm recording of selections of audio from the attraction, including the Madame Leota vignette.

In 1953, Walt described Fantasyland as “a wonderful land of fairy tales come true within the walls and grounds of a great medieval castle whose towers loom 70 feet in the air.” This land brings fantasy to life and gives the illusion of walking directly into one of Disney’s animated films.

804. Sleeping Beauty Castle Gilt Spire and Weathervane. (Disneyland, c.1960s-80s) A remarkable original weathervane from a spire atop Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle. Composed entirely of metal, the weathervane arms are attached to a pointed spire that runs through the hollow conical spire cap. A very stylized monogram “D” is joined to the upper and lower arms of the vane, so that the emblem would appear as a “D” regardless of which direction it was viewed from. The bottom arm extends into an arrow, which indicates the direction of the wind. The spire post is threaded at the bottom and includes nuts and bolt hardware for attachment to the castle. The piece is coated in a mix of both metallic gold paint and actual gold leaf. During construction of the park, Walt insisted the precious metal be used to embellish the spires of the castle in order to lend the structure a cinematic sparkle. According to legend, when the more pragmatic and money-conscious Roy Disney found out about his brother’s extravagance, he refused to speak to Walt for a month. This weathervane was previously installed on the castle’s second-tallest tower, atop the larger of the double turrets. Here it was viewed by millions of park guests as they ventured into the inner regions of the park during Walt’s era. Measuring 42”x17.5” and 4” deep, the piece is in good condition with some paint loss, oxidation, and weathering from outdoor use. Since the park opened in 1955, Sleeping Beauty Castle has been the primary symbol of Disneyland, its glimmering spires heralding a world of immaculately constructed fantasy. So too, this gold leaf coated spire cap and weathervane are emblematic of Walt’s singular commitment to an artistic vision that made the park experience possible. $3,000-$5,000 242

805. Original 1955 Fantasyland Trashcan. (Disneyland, 1955) A vintage park-used Fantasyland trashcan from Disneyland’s earliest days of operation in 1955. The themed trashcans of the Disney parks have become emblematic of the meticulous and comprehensive design that goes into every level of the guest experience, and the bins themselves have garnered significant appreciation as objects of art. This metal Fantasyland trashcan has a peaked roof with a scalloped under awning, and features applied heraldic eagle figures on all sides. As part of Disneyland’s 50th anniversary festivities, this original 1955 trashcan underwent minor refurbishment by skilled Disney artists and was once again placed into service as a tribute to the park’s Opening Day aesthetics. Later, in 2011, the can was covertly transformed as a retirement present to Disneyland Operations Manager of Custodial Guest services Ray Sidejas in gratitude for his 47 years of service. While appearing for all intents and purposes like a 1955 Fantasyland trashcan, the interior of the container was retrofitted with a pair of shelves and wine glass hanging racks, a perforated metal ventilation grating was inserted under the roof, the push doors on either side were converted to static panels, and a working wine fridge installed inside the shell. Measuring 58” tall, 23.25” wide, and 23.25” deep, the piece is in very good condition with some denting to the side panels, chipping to the roof scallops, cracking to the paint, general wear, and a small cutout created in the bottom of the back panel for a power cord. The electronics are in working order. The fridge can be removed to convert the trashcan back to its original state, if desired.

VAN EATON GALLERIES PRESENTS In 1964, Walt Disney Productions began buying up large amounts of land near Orlando, Florida, hiding their purchases under shell corporations to avoid speculation. It wasn’t until late 1965 that Walt Disney’s plans were confirmed, and on November 15, 1965, Walt officially announced that he would be building a second park in Florida. It was here that he would build his “East Coast Disneyland,” and it was here that he envisioned his “Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow.” Although Walt did not live long enough to see his vision realized, Roy O. Disney postponed his retirement to helm the project, which began construction in 1967 and opened on October 1, 1971. At 107 Acres, Disney World’s Magic Kingdom is significantly larger than Disneyland, with plenty of room to expand. Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom is a park unique from its predecessor and a reminder of the ingenuity and creativity of Walt Disney. This year, Walt Disney World celebrates its 50th anniversary, and remains just as beloved as it was on opening day.

REDISCOVERING DISNEYLAND Originally conceived by Walt Disney during the early development of Walt Disney World, EPCOT, the “Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow,” was intended as an experimental city that would be a center for American innovation and urban living.

When Imagineers began developing a second theme park for Walt Disney World in the 1970s, they drew on the futuristic themes of Walt’s EPCOT plans. The new park maintained the idea of showcasing modern innovation and enterprise through “edutainment” attractions, as well as the addition of the world nations showcase.
