Walt Disney's The Magic of Disneyland (1968)

This 1968 theatrical featurette takes footage from Walt's TV show and vintage Walt Disney narration and creates a visual tour of the park. If you've seen the source material there's very little that's new but it was edited in a new way collecting it all together. The major addition here is The Pirates of the Caribbean which had just opened the previous year.

The film was released with that year's major fantasy film release Blackbeard's Ghost and sold as a souvenir 16MM films guests could purchase and watch at home in 1968. This is a time capsule of what Disneyland looked like just before Walt passed away, which is where much of this footage comes from, and shortly after.

Original release date February 8. 1968
