In case of an emergency, a slide will inflate and deposit you directly into Disneyland. You must walk like an Egyptian during this procedure. Don't ask why, just do it, OK?
There's fun for all! Relive the days of the old west, or be an astronaut and zap your wife with a ray gun. She can be a princess, isn't that what all women want to be?
I love the way the illustrator shows the guests interacting directly with the rides; Peter Pan himself is escorting dad and son as they fly over London, and the 7 Dwarfs are showing off a cartful of gems.
Those are some sorta cool illustrations for Frontierland! Definitely reminiscent of other Disneyland flyers from the same era.
Main Street and Tomorrowland only get a page each instead of a nice 2 page spread. Freedomland in New York had the great Chicago Fire, I wonder if there was ever a consideration for Disneyland to have a similar attraction on Main Street?
Man, as a kid I would hear about people who stayed at the Disneyland Hotel for a multi-day visit, and turned green with envy. In this case, you get to fly on a beautiful Lockheed Constellation before spending 2 full days at the park.

As long as you are in California, you might as well see more of the state! I think there are some buildings you can go see. And some trees. Or something. Who am I, Rand McNally?
How can you resist? Make your reservations NOW! As you can see, this brochure was handed out in Michigan at the Vacationland Center. Hope you liked it!
This brochure is like a Little Golden Book. Simply stunning!
ReplyDeletewow - this is amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome post! You coulda spread this over a few post but I ain't complainin'!
ReplyDeleteWalk Like an Egyptian!? Nearly inhaled a sip of coffee that time.
Gotta love this bold colorful style. :)
How bout the tourist with the camera taking a pic *in* the hippo's mouth, tee hee Super neat castle 2nd page, and even the frisco cable car pic is nice. What a fine brochure.
One of my favorite brochures and the best from TWA.
ReplyDeleteThe graphics on this are just too wonderful. I agree with anonymous...they do have a Little Golden Book feel to them. Thank you for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteGreta find, Major!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
My Dad worked for as an aircraft mechanic TWA in 1957, the same year he and my Mom took a "free" trip from NYC out to California to see Disneyland. They loved it so much, they stayed.
ReplyDeleteI will print out a few of these pages and see if they remember the brochure.
Still - picking - jaw - off - floor.
ReplyDelete"Scientifically correct sensation of hurtling through outer space"!
"Private bath"!
Ah, the days when airline travel was an adventure and FAR more civilized. I still have my TWA "pilot" wings.
ReplyDeleteBravo Major! I am so loving this brochure, thanks a Zillion for posting this!
ReplyDeletep.s. I wanted to make a reservation for a trip to Disneyland in 1957 so I dialed "WOodward 5-7480" but the number has been disconnected, darn!
This is a great brochure! Take a look online at an inflation calculator to see how EXPENSIVE air travel was in those days. Dare I say, we have it good now!
ReplyDeletethat is a way cool brochure. Love it. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous artwork! Very, very appealing....
ReplyDeletethis is indeed gorgeous...thanks for sharing! :D
ReplyDeleteAww, now I want to take a trip to Disneyland. What a fantastic brochure!
ReplyDeleteI never have seen that house fire attraction on Main Street.
I agree with the rest, great find! You had me at the cover, and then there was more.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I wonder what would happen if WOodward 5-7480 was still connected?
