Greetings,
I have searched the forums here regarding keys to Disneyland given out back in the 50's but have not able to find info for my particular situation. In February 1956 when I was all of 4, I traveled with my parents to Disneyland. We visited the Golden Horseshoe and were selected to appear on the radio program from there called the Magic Kingdom. It was hosted by Don Novice and we won some prizes such as fishing poles and a washing machine. I still have photos, newspaper articles, etc. I was also presented with a key that has the Castle and "Disneyland" on the front and the Yale key company name on the back along with a pin so it could be worn. Can anyone shed light on this key? Is there anyone else out there that also appeared on that show and received a key like the one I have? I called the Disney folks and am waiting to talk to someone from their archive department. By the way, I also have a record which is a recording of the show which might shed some light on the key and it's use but in this day of cd's I must find a record player to listen to it. Remember record players? Thanks in advance, Genese
