Hallmark Souvenir Cards
I picked up these three Disneyland Hallmark greeting cards a few years ago. At the time I wasn't particularly interested in them except for the fact that their photos were the same as the wonderful "PDL" postcards (also by Hallmark). I was seriously collecting Disneyland postcards at the time!
Anyway, here they are (I have their original Hallmark envelopes as well)! I love the 60's style cartoons, think of the endless novelty items produced with similar drawings. This first one is the plainest of the three, a fairly standard single-fold with goofy multiple choice interior. 
This next one is considerably fancier, unfolding into a triple-wide color photo. Nice! You've got your standard cartoon character, but that silhouette is actually a die-cut shape.
And finally, another 3-panel color photo. These cards aren't really that funny, but how many store bought greeting cards are? In any case, I've been told that these cards are somewhat hard to find, so I am happy to have these three examples in my meager collection!

Major, these are pretty cool. I especially like the first one with the photo that was probably taken from the balcony of Sleeping Beauty Castle and shows the power lines and towers in the parking lot!
these are great (tokyomagic already said cool! : ) it never ceases to amaze me how empty the park was in the early days
speaking of visiting the park, ill be leaving tomorrow for WDW and a week of fun in the sun with my daughter. she managed to get the entire week off, so we have plans for lots of good food and we are going the Mickey's NSSHP on Thursday (happens to be Devil's Night).
im looking forward to lots of rides on the TTA and the Monorail. ill be back on the first of the month...
Happy Halloween, everyone!!
Funny how all the speech-balloons are Disneyland shaped. Did they get a little Hallmark/Disney synergy going? LOL.
Really appreciate the close up on the Indian Village figures. Great cards!
Thanks for posting the full versions, these are fun (if not very funny)...
