Disney News - The Disney Brothers Studio

This Article about The "First" Disney Studio

came out in the Disney Times - 30 years ago

Below are the employees of Disney Bros. Studio
(Walt third from left, Roy on right),
in front of their first Los Angeles offices at 4647 Kingswell Ave,

For the last 20 years
I've lived one block from the Kingswell.
Yesterday morning I walked over and took this shot.

Disneyland ZOO CREW

Disneyland's Character Dept.
was called
"The Zoo Crew"
This article is from
The Wonderful World of Disney Magazine 1969

This patch was worn on the tee shirts
by the Zoo Crew till the early 80s
Then Wardrobe just printed the image
on a white Tee shirt...
But so many shirts were going missing,
they started dying the shirts Pink and Orange
thinking this would detour people from stealing them...

Disneyland Visit Today

I went down and spent a few hours at the park today:
and once again my ticket at the Main Gate was... GOOFY!

As I was in line for Buzz Lightyear
I looked up to see Vintage Disneyland Tickets
"Missing Tiles"
[I call them his because he pointed them out on his blog
a long while back and they still haven't been fixed!]

While looking up there,
I noticed that the tree had LOTS of names carved in the trunk!
How did people get we there to carve their name in the Tree???
and while waiting over at the kennels,
I noticed these 3 funny looking things!
I think they were once used as a Telephone!?

and the Space Mt. exit had a whole slew of them!!!!
Do they even work???
