I wish Roger would stop obsessing about me and my family. Nothing worse than seeing him at the museum bothering people.

re: Disney's California Zephyr departs Anaheim, but not for oblivion

JohnPatrick — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 17:33:03 GMT

During the 50's I was able to ride in the California Zephers and remember fondly the "Dome" cars where we would sit and color and draw as kids. Also taking the Union Pacific from LA's Union Station to New York and back up to Minnesota and back, I experienced 4 days of pure joy riding in its dome cars and compartments one way. The only down moment was I remember passing through the scrap metal yards back east where all the old retired steam locomotives were being scraped out. I'm glad Walt saved some for us and the new kids on the block. Jp

I'm glad to hear the Zephyr engine and the collectibles were saved and are going to find a new home. Thanks for solving a long-standing mystery for me of where the engine came from, Roger!

Great story. I can't help but notice in the fist picture you posted of opening day, that you can see two people peering out the window of Walts apartment above the firehouse. I can only imagine who that could be...

You might want to keep your distance from a lady named Brigid O'Shaughnessey, Miles -- I'm just sayin'... :)

Wow, I've seen the original TRON. I played TRON 2.0 (for a little while, anyway, back in college). I'm a guy in their target range for an ideal audio. And honestly, after reading this article, clicking on the video, checking out the Flynn Lives site, I 'm still confused. What was the point?

What I mean to say is this: I've seen the original film and am somewhat familiar with the Tron world. And if I'm confused by this promotion, how is the public at large supposed to understand it?

re: "Sometimes, the smallest things in life bring the biggest joys" : Celebrating Disneyland ephemera

Oh, man, collecting this sort of thing is great. I've always treasured the maps that they hand out at DL...they're gorgeous! If I remember correctly they did used to put characters on the tickets in the nineties...those were the best. Unfortunately several pieces of my epherema have disappeared, and that's because while I'm a pack rat, my mother throws a lot of stuff out. So, wherever our old ticket stubs are, brochures, maps, etc. are, they're probably stuffed at the bottom of a trash barge or at the bottom of a file folder in her closet.

However, this time around I managed to save the beautiful fiftiieth anniversary bags that every purchase came in, and I think from now on I'm going to start a new epherema collection. Although it'll take me quite a few years before they become nearly as magical as your dated ones are, Roger. Great article and excellent pictures! Thanks for sharing.

Ah
My dad (who is 51 now) always saved everything we got from Disneyland.
I remember at the 35 Anniv they had that big game in the hub, he kept all of the bags, the reciepts, the parking stubs, the park stubs. Everything.

Glad we're sane now :)
