ToonFinder.com recently added some 10 minutes of documentary style footage of Vintage 1956 Disneyland to Google Video. It contains some great footage I’ve never seen before, including plenty of horse drawn vehicles that are either gone or nearly forgotten now. This film focuses mainly on Main Street with only brief introductions to the other lands, but you do get a glimpse of Walt Disney and Fess Parker, dressed as Davy Crockett, leading the parade down Main Street. So I’m naming this the Fan Video of the Week, even though it’s not really a fan video. (The rules are more like guidelines, to quote Captain Barbossa.)

It’s “Disneyland USA”, one of Disney’s Cinemascope travelogues. I’m surprised you haven’t seen it. Back during the Vault Disney days, it made regular appearences on the Disney Channel.
Wow. Very cool. I love seeing Walt riding that horse in the parade. Classic.
The actual Disneyland U.S.A. film is 42 minutes long.
