VOL. IV - No. 8 December 6, 2008 Online Since 1997

Welcome to our December 2008 Newsletter.  

We are now gathering information about the history of all the restaurants that have been at Disneyland. The beta Restaurant List screen is now available to our GOLD members. Gold members: To access the screen: Click on My Page. In the Message from the Webmaster click on the DLDHistory2k9 Link then Click on the Restaurant List link. While you are on the 2K9DLDHistory click on the redesign navigation link and take a look at our new navigation, it is coming together. The Restaurant information screens will become available to all our members after the redesign of the site. We are also making a change in the access to the Article Database: Starting January 1, 2009 you must be at least a Deluxe member to access the Archive Article Database (articles dated 1954-2003). The Current Article Database (articles dated 2004-present) will continue to be available to all members including Guests.

Thank you everyone for helping us make DLDHistory.com The Most Unique Disneyland History Site.

The Top Story this month is a complete video of Fantasy On Parade. This is a 36 minute video from 1972. The video includes the audio from the parade. The audio quality is not great but still nice to hear. This video is available to ALL of our members!

In our November Newsletter I forgot to put a link for the Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln Audio Clip. This month I am making double sure it is there! We have located the full audio from the Walt Disney Story Featuring Great Moments With Mr. Lincoln. The audio is from 2004 and is a 30 minute clip. Sit back close your eyes and listen.. This month I have made sure the link is there...Enjoy…
Great Moments With Mr. Lincoln Audio Clip

We have added 20 new video clips: A 2 minute video clip of the short lived Cosmic Waves. Although not a very exciting attraction at least the kids had fun getting wet.  A great quality complete ride through of Splash Mountain taken from the front seat in the log. A complete 25 minute video of Dick Tracy And The Diamond Cross which played in the Fantasyland Theater in 1995. A very short 5 second video clip of Pack Mules Through Natures Wonderland. This is the second 5 second clip we have located. We will keep looking for a longer video clip. The Pack Mules Through Natures Wonderland were located in Frontierland from 1960 until 1973. A very unique viewpoint video of Casey Jr. Circus Train: a complete 3 minute ride through video with the camera pointing out the back of the caboose.  A great and rare 20 second video clip of the Viewliner. The Viewliner was located in Fantasyland in 1957. A very good quality 13 second video clip of Santa Fe and Disneyland Railroad with a great view of the cattle cars! An extremely rare 2 minute video clip of the Golden Horseshoe Revue featuring Wally Boag.   And the video that I am really glad we have a copy of: a 20 second video of the Kids Of The Kingdom performing at the Space Stage. This is probably the rarest video we have.
