A few showed up in February 2015 and they normally start around 20-30 bucks and can work their way up to a couple of hundred dollars. Most of the time, they're just signed 'Roy'. Some of the sellers on Ebay make the leap to believe it was drawn by Roy Disney, Walt's brother!...And then proceed to try to sell the drawing for a couple of thousand dollars! <br />Of course, it's well known that Roy O Disney was the financial Brain behind Disney and was not an artist by any stretch of the imagination!

Yes, I thought that Roy was pretty much handing these out. I have a couple of pictures of Roy that I found on the internet of him sketching at a table in front of one of the restaurants near the castle at Disneyland. The other picture looks like he's by the Art Corner and all have him in his Mickey Mouse Club outfit. I'm sure these are from the late 50's.Brian Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10350309001837541272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20149336.post-13039445630059135982011-11-17T19:44:15.259-08:002011-11-17T19:44:15.259-08:00Wow!

I think it was '59 when I got it from Roy himself and I don't think my parents paid for it. I think he was just handing them out. I have been carrying it around for about 50 years and thought it might be fun to find out it's value. So funny to find the same drawing but with a different name!BarbaraJeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15371279821761816232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20149336.post-83252609876133991862011-11-16T17:08:19.375-08:002011-11-16T17:08:19.375-08:00Disneyland in the 50's and early

I mean it's obviously connected to the studio, but back then even more so. <br />Live action and animation had a more intimate connection to the park, which was in the plans from the inception, with the park to be originally located across the street from the Burbank lot. <br />When Disney opened the Disney MGM Studios in Florida, even though it was a movie studio with animation and live action production, I still don't believe it was as interactive as the early Disneyland, where you could meet the Mouseketeers or Davy Crockett or hold a Walt Disney cel in your hands for a buck...and on those rare days, meet the creator of the Whole darn thing; Walt Disney himself.Brian Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10350309001837541272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20149336.post-11837375778034987182011-11-14T15:23:18.856-08:002011-11-14T15:23:18.856-08:00They should still do this!
