One of the greatest formats for graphic, eye-catching announcements of the latest entertainment offerings at the park were the Main Gate Flyers. A sub-category onto themselves, these pamphlets, broadsides and folders always feature splashy imagery specially made to entice and inform the ticket-buying guest. This gate flyer for the premier of the Enchanted Tiki Room is one of the best produced. Robotic entertainment was unheard of in 1963. The concept of Audio-Animatronics and the show format it would be presented in was so new, Walt and the Imagineering staff felt the public would need several primers to wrap their minds around the idea. The information provided within this gorgeous flyer served that purpose. Also interesting, because the Tiki Room was wholly owned by Walt's personal company, the copyright is WED Enterprises, Inc. as opposed to Walt Disney Productions. Rare.
There are several versions of this flyer with different entertainment schedules on the back.
This particular issue has a Fall 1963 Dixieland At Disneyland show schedules.
Measures 7"x3.5" folded, and 7"x14" unfolded. In very fine condition with minimal edge wear. Strong, bright colors and clear text.
