Sleeping Beauty Castle

When Disneyland opened in 1955, Sleeping Beauty (the movie) was still a few years away. (It was finally released on January 29, 1959.) In what was probably an effort to link this upcoming movie with the Theme Park icon this brochure was created in 1957.

It's only eight pages long and contains numerous production stills from the movie including a double-gate fold (I think that's what it's called) in the center. There's also a great picture of Walt Disney in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle.

And in a stroke of luck, the copy I picked up still has the coupon for a free envelope available at the Arts Crafts Store in the Castle Courtyard.

This is very cool. Any more scans of the pages?
