Disneyland Main-Gate Map (1960)

This 1960 Disneyland main-gate map, which succeeds the 1958 version (no 1959 version is known to exist), features an updated style and color-scheme. The identifying year and copyright information for Walt Disney Productions (the s has returned: see 1958 version) can be found on the back panel with a printing date of 6-60.

The front cover now features five cartoon figures, each dressed in representative garb of the various lands of the Magic Kingdom. The “Welcome to Disneyland” headline is retained and the paragraph of introductory text lengthened.

All of us at Walt Disney’s Magic Kingdom hope that your visit today will be a happy and memorable experience for you and your family. Your enjoyment of this and future visits is the first consideration of all Disneylanders. For an introduction to the Magic Kingdom, we suggest that you take a few moments now to look over this folder. As you explore Disneyland keep it handy for reference. The information it contains has been prepared to help make your visit as pleasant an experience as possible.

 

HAVE A HAPPY DAY!

 

– The Disneyland Staff

The inside panels of the now tri-fold brochure hold an updated map, but one that is more reminiscent in style to that of the main-gate brochures pre-dating the 1958 version. For the first time, a comprehensive list of park attractions can be found, categorized by land. Both the Walt Disney dedication-speech excerpt and the map-key have been removed.
