I don't know where to post this (and Mods, please feel free to move to another forum), but I thought this was am amazing find and wanted to share!

My grandfather traveled to California from NY in 1956 and went to Disneyland! This was the year after it opened so everything was new and exciting. My mom just found an envelope with a perfectly preserved copy of the Complete Guide to Disneyland that was published in 1956. It has maps of the lands as well as photos of the attractions and information about the hotels and restaurants that were there at the time.

I know this is the Disney World forum, but with so many of the same rides in the Florida park, I thought the DISers here might like to see it too!
