During the holidays, the Dapper Dans take on a whole new level of entertainment and charm. There is something magical about Disneyland itself during the holidays. Disneyland Town Square is in the center of that charm. A horse-drawn trolley approaching via Main Street USA, the lighting of the Christmas tree, or maybe knowing that you’re standing in the shadow of Walt’s apartment just above the Disneyland Fire Station. This Performance is from December 29th, 2021, part of the Disneyland Holiday Celebration.

Walt Disney On the Jack Benny Hour (Original B&W – 1965)

In this 1965 segment of the famous Jack Benny Hour, Jack asks Walt Disney for Tickets to Disneyland.   Jack isn’t looking for a few tickets; he needs 110 for his cast and crew. In return, Jack includes an Italian take on Mary Poppins in his show. It’s classic 1960s Humor.  This video is the original Black and White version.

Released less than a year after Walt Disney’s Passing, holiday time in Disneyland 1967 showcased the attractions Walt had been working on.  Including footage of Walt describing the experience and showing viewers models of New Orleans Square and Pirates of the Caribbean.  Including the scale model along with an inside look at WED highlighting the creations of the attraction.  After seeing how they did it, we get to ride along with a preview of Pirates of the Caribbean.   After pirates, our tour guide explains that when Disneyland was built in 1955, Tomorrowland seemed more science fiction than the real world; when the 1960s arrived, the world of today began to catch up with Disneyland’s Tomorrowland.  Walt set out to create an all-new Tomorrowland, and here it is today (1967)[embedded content]
