Disneyland officially opened on July 17, 1955. The problem of how to provide useful information to park guests was solved by the printing of flyers, pamphlets and brochures that listed important facts, such as show times, parade times, attraction locations and descriptions, dining options and guest services. It was soon discovered that guests liked keeping the attractive Disneyland paper items as souvenirs of their visits.

Eventually, photographic souvenir brochures were provided for purchase, and many sponsoring companies discovered that giving guests pamphlets and postcards about their company and it's attraction provided valuable public relations. Companies that jumped on the "paper" bandwagon included Bank of America, Monsanto, Upjohn Pharmacies, Kodak, Chicken of the Sea, and Sunkist Citrus Products.

My Disneyland Paper collection contains four types of media.....

           * Free Daily Park Brochures and Flyer - that provided attraction, dining, entertainment, and park information for park guests. These were usually handed out at the main gate or with your ticket purchase. An example would be the "Disneyland Today" flyers.

          * Souvenir Pictorial Park Guides - that were available for purchase throughout the park. These included photos and information to provide you with memories of your visit to Disneyland.

          * Disneyland INA, Polaroid, and Kodak Souvenir Guides  - These 4 x 6 guide booklets were provided by Insurance of North America Company and included all information needed for the guest's magical Disneyland experience. Later, these booklets became larger and were sponsored by Kodak or Polaroid. These booklets were also provided free.

          * Free Special Event Flyers - These free brochures and flyers were provided to give specific entertainment or event information to park guests and were usually tied to a special event happening in the park. These also were given out at the main gate or with your ticket purchase.

Assorted Disneyland Souvenir Guides
