(Disneyland, 1955) Titled "The Story of Disneyland," this first official guidebook for Disneyland was available leading up to the park's opening day festivities in July of 1955. The guidebook is filled with conceptual artwork rather than photos since, at the time of printing, they did not have actual photos of the completed park. The guidebook was designed to welcome guests to the park as well as to explain the vision and concept of Walt Disney's revolutionary idea in family entertainment. Considered a rare piece of Disney history in its own right, this particular guidebook was beautifully signed by Walt Disney on the inside cover during the opening day celebrations. The guidebook has been professionally mounted and framed, helping to preserve and present the signature on this rare item. The 22-page guidebook measures 8.75"x12" within its 18.25"x21.25" frame, and is in very good condition.
