SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PUBLISHER RELEASESVINTAGE DISNEYLAND PHOTOGRAPHY BOOKANAHEIM, CA... In anticipation of upcoming 50th Anniversary celebrations at the Disneyland Resort, Ape Pen Publishing (www.apepenpublishing.com) has announced the release of their new book of vintage photographs, "Disneyland... The Beginning: Collector's Edition" publisher, Ape Pen Publishing fourth and most elaborate of Disneyland photography series, the edition features many rarely seen and never-before-published photographs of famed Southern California photojournalist, Mell Kilpatrick.This beautifully designed hardcover edition features a foreword by Walt Disney's eldest daughter, Diane Disney Miller. Early Disneyland designer and Imagineer Sam McKim provided the introduction for the text, and several other key figures in Disney history have offered their own unique perspectives including: Alice Davis, Harriet Burns, Margaret Kerry, Bob Gurr, Blaine Gibson, Rolly Crump, and Art Linkletter.As Chief Photographer for the Santa Ana Register during the 1950's, Kilpatrick was perfectly situated to record the development of Walt Disney's Disneyland theme park project. From its earliest inception, Kilpatrick was able to capture the fast moving construction of Southern California's most famous new tourist destination. Throughout the twelve-month period of construction (1954 - 1955) and throughout the first decade of Disneyland's operation, Kilpatrick captured every detail on film, both on assignment for the Register, and also as a freelance photographer.As a Southern California native, Carlene Thie learned very early to appreciate the significant impact that Disneyland had on a rapidly growing Orange County. In addition to her grandfather's amazing photographic record of Disneyland's early years, her grandmother Katherine worked as a Disneyland cast member, serving visitors to Tom Sawyer's Island with a Nesbitt's orange soda or a ten-cent bag of Fritos corn chips. From her assigned station at the Fishing Shack, Mrs. Kilpatrick would also issue fishing poles and a can of worms to the more adventurous youngsters willing to try their hand at fishing on the banks of the Rivers of America. Not to be left out, Thie's own father, Curtis Sissel served as a mortar mixer on the original 1955 construction of Sleeping Beauty Castle at the entrance to Fantasyland.This remarkable family legacy leaves Carlene Thie with a deep appreciation for the work of her grandfather, and of the unique contribution his photography has made in recording the earliest images of Walt Disney's most successful entertainment enterprise. "Disneyland: The Beginning" can be purchased on-line (www.ApePenPublishing.com), or by calling their toll free telephone number (800-506-7401). Copies of the book can also be purchased at Disneyland in Anaheim, California (Disneyana Shop, Main Street U.S.A.) .For more information, contact APE PEN PUBLISHING COMPANYPO Box 691Riverside, CA 92502Telephone: (800) 506-7401 E-mail: [email protected]: www.ApePenPublishing.com

A propulsive and “entertaining” (The Wall Street Journal) history chronicling the conception and creation of the iconic Disneyland theme park, as told like never before by popular historian Richard Snow. One day in the early 1950s, Walt Disney stood looking over 240 acres of farmland in Anaheim, California, and imagined building a park where people “could live among Mickey Mouse and Snow White in a world still powered by steam and fire for a day or a week or (if the visitor is slightly mad) forever.” Despite his wealth and fame, exactly no one wanted Disney to build such a park. Not his brother Roy, who ran the company’s finances; not the bankers; and not his wife, Lillian. Amusement parks at that time, such as Coney Island, were a generally despised business, sagging and sordid remnants of bygone days. Disney was told that he would only be heading toward financial ruin. But Walt persevered, initially financing the park against his own life insurance policy and later with sponsorship from ABC and the sale of thousands and thousands of Davy Crockett coonskin caps. Disney assembled a talented team of engineers, architects, artists, animators, landscapers, and even a retired admiral to transform his ideas into a soaring yet soothing wonderland of a park. The catch was that they had only a year and a day in which to build it. On July 17, 1955, Disneyland opened its gates…and the first day was a disaster. Disney was nearly suicidal with grief that he had failed on a grand scale. But the curious masses kept coming, and the rest is entertainment history. Eight hundred million visitors have flocked to the park since then. In Disney’s Land, “Snow brings a historian’s eye and a child’s delight, not to mention superb writing, to the telling of this fascinating narrative” (Ken Burns) that “will entertain Disneyphiles and readers of popular American history” (Publishers Weekly).

Most biographies of Walt Disney portray him as a creative genius who revolutionized the entertainment industry during the first half of the twentieth century. While he did transform the medium of animation, quickly becoming a household name during his late thirties, many biographies tell the story of Walt Disney’s development in a historical vacuum, separate from the historical events happening around him. However, while Walt Disney was certainly a history-influencer, historical events happening in America and the world also shaped the entertainment pioneer he would become. As the twentieth century began, a new form of entertainment, “motion pictures,” would emerge, capturing the imagination of a young boy from Missouri. Over the next several years, Walt Disney would begin to hone his art skills, overcoming a number of hurdles including numerous relocations, a brutal paper route, a deployment to Europe in the days after World War One, numerous bankruptcies, and even homelessness. It was these adversities, along with the historical events that surrounded him, that would influence the man he would become. For the first time ever, The Origins of Walt Disney tells some important stories that help to flesh out the Disney history. How instrumental was Elias Disney’s career as a carpenter in Chicago? Why did the Disneys really leave Chicago to move to Marceline, Missouri? What types of jobs did Walt perform in France in the days following World War One? How was Walt influenced by the budding industry of animation in America? In addition to answering these questions, The Origins of Walt Disney also includes a tour of the newly restored Walt Disney Birthplace, a new museum located in the childhood home of Walt Disney in Chicago, Illinois!

Disneyland in Anaheim, California, is the only theme park in the world that literally has Walt Disney's fingerprints on it. He lived in his apartment over the Disneyland Fire House for weeks at a time. He was planning Disneyland years before he released his first feature film, Snow White. He was focused on improving the Park in the final days of his life. Disneyland was truly his passion. Before Walt died in December 1966, he promised that Disneyland would keep changing and continue growing - and it has. Walt also promised that the optimistic, adventurous spirit of Disneyland would never change - another promise kept. WALT'S DISNEYLAND uncovers those parts of Disneyland that have remained essentially unchanged since he left us. If you know where to look, Walt's pristine, unchanged Disneyland is still there, waiting to be discovered and enjoyed. By uncovering the hidden history of Disneyland, this book will make your next Disneyland adventure a richer, more enjoyable, more meaningful experience. Author Jim Denney (the co-author of the classic Disney biography HOW TO BE LIKE WALT) takes you on a tour of Disneyland as it is today - from Main Street USA to Tomorrowland - and shows you where to find Walt's original Disneyland of 1955 to 1966. It's a journey into the heart and soul of one of the greatest innovators of all time, Walt Disney.
