Disneyland After Dark (1962) | Walt Disney Treasures: Disneyland USA, Special Historical Broadcast

Follow Walt as he takes viewers on a tour of Disneyland when the lights go off. The entertainment includes Louis Armstrong, Sammy Davis, Jr., Fess Parker, Annette Funicello, The Osmond Brothers and many, many more friends and Disney legends. Disneyland might not have existed if not for television; the fledgling ABC television network was one of Walt Disney's principal backers in the building of the park. But Walt also used television to acquaint Americans with his Magic Kingdom- during its construction, on its opening day, and for years afterward with colorful updates on his weekly television show. The programs on this disc provide a time-trip to the 1950s and 60s, with the best tour guide imaginable: Walt Disney himself. Celebrating Walt Disney's pioneering efforts in the medium of television, Disneyland U.S.A. features 4 vintage episodes of Walt's beloved prime-time program. Take a wonderful look back at the origins of the park, beginning with the very first episode of the Disneyland TV series, as Walt Disney leads a tour of the studio and lifts the curtain on a model of the under-construction Disneyland Park.
