This 1995 edition of the Disneyland Guide Book actually turned out to be very difficult to track down. I've found numerous copies of the 93 edition, but for some reason the 40th anniversary edition alluded me - until now.In comparing this edition to the previous 1993 edition, the front cover stays the same but drops the words "The Original" and adds the "40 Years of Adventures" logo. Indiana Jones gets a two-page spread. The short-lived Aladdin's Oasis is added. The One-Of-A-Kind shop in New Orleans Square gets bumped (although the text remains). It's A Small World goes pastel along with numerous other photos changes in the Fantasyland section. ToonTown goes from a single photo of concept art to two-pages of photos. Gone are photos of Mission to Mars and the Sky-Way buckets. The Disneyland After Dark loses two pages.
There's also an alternate version of this edition in which the 40th logo is replaced with a generic logo.

Ooh, you got me beat on this one. I didn't even know there WAS a 40th version! and great job on specifying the differences between the two books!
two thumbs up for this post!
Just curious, found an unopened pack of Disney Collector series trading cards - 40 years of adventures. It is numbered (9432 of 90000). Any idea what it would be worth??
I'd guess $75-$100, but I have seen people try and ask for a lot more.
Although, the collectors market is pretty soft right now - there's a lot of bargains out there.
