1969 Fall-Winter 'Your Guide to Disneyland' INA Souvenir Guidebook

This is a vintage paper guidebook for Disneyland Park, specifically the 'Fall-Winter '69' edition. The front cover features a full-color photograph of Sleeping Beauty Castle with several costumed characters in the foreground, including Mickey Mouse, Pluto, Goofy, the Seven Dwarfs, and others in their 1960s-era costume designs. The cover is printed on a medium-weight semi-gloss cardstock with a white border. Text on the cover includes the classic Disneyland 'blackletter' font logo and a prominent 'INA' (Insurance Company of North America) logo in the lower-left corner, as INA was a long-time sponsor of the park's guest information services. This physical guide typically unfolded into a map and detailed list of attractions, shows, and dining options active during the 1969 season. Notable markings include the copyright '© 1969 Walt Disney Productions' in small print above the welcome message. The condition shows minor signs of shelf wear and age-related yellowing along the edges and white margins. There is a small visible crease or potential tear on the upper left spine area. The colors remain relatively vibrant, indicative of good storage away from direct sunlight. This guide is a significant piece of theme park ephemera from the late Walt Disney Productions era, reflecting the park's layout and sponsorship history during its 14th year of operation.
