Souvenir Friday- Disneyland Opening Day Information for Lessees

A couple of documents that the first lessees received in regards to the opening day at Disneyland. First up is a sheet detailing the information on the expectations for each store on opening day, including marking merchandise, trash, janitorial service and the plan for the Opening Day telecast.

The next document is the order of the Opening Day parade. Some fantastic information for those who like such details. Did you know the Indian Chief in the parade was Chief Flying Hoof riding his horse named Firewater? Or that the Orange Empire Council Boy Scout Order of Arrow scouts were part of the parade?

FANTASTIC documents! I hope the archives has copies of these. I noticed that one of the cars had an "Eddie Fisher" in it... Carrie's dad?

As I read through it I could just imagine the announcer telling the home television viewer about each of these as they pass by. Very cool.

Thanks for sharing Disneyland's beginning history with us!
