Total kudos to Ste3ve over at DB.com for spotting this one (http://p098.ezboard.com/Disneyland-i...cID=2191.topic).
A family wins a trip to DL in 1956 and does a WAY better than average job of documenting it on home movies. There is some surprisingly good footage here, and it's nicely edited. The DL trip begins about 19 minutes in, so scoot forward, but it's a pretty thorough tour of the park when it was one year old.

That was amazing! Thanks for sharing.
WoW what a great find!! Not only Disneyland, but great stuff of their trip on the airplane, airports, Huntington Hotel, Hollywood, Universal Studios, Knott's... a real treasure trove!
That was fantastic! Thanks for sharing! It brought back so many memories.
Robbins Barstow is a stud.
What a fun movie! I've always wanted to experience Disneyland in the 1950s. I sure miss the Matterhorn and the Monorail though ~
Milk with a cheeseburger? :blink: :lol:

I watched the whole thing, riveted. Great find. Very amusing.
Great video! I love the narration. Loved how he said, "Calaforneeuh" and loved their matching Davy Crockett jackets.
"After all this excitement we felt the need to go to the bathroom!" :D
Great video and find! Like the others have said, I was riveted! 1956, the year I was born. Pretty darn good year.

That was so much fun! I love the older Walt Disney tours of the park, but this was cool to follow a typical American family. And how funny was the narration? Robbins Barstow is quite a character.
