From the Opus Archives (meaning I was moving some dusty old boxes in the garage today and these sorta just popped out):
A couple of Disneyland Park Operating Hours Calendars from 1971.

Of perhaps some interest...the standard 8am to 1am Summer operating hours 7 days a week, followed by shorting hours and going back to being totally closed on Mondays and Tuesdays by mid-September (lots of people don't believe me when I tell them that Disneyland used to be closed Mondays and Tuesdays most of the year).
Also note that Private Parties were listed. It's kinda interesting that the public calendars (as these were) that were mailed and given to Guests, actually showed Private Party dates and times on them back then.
Also shown is my old 3x5 index card (probably from the late 60s) for Disneyland. Note the old-style telephone "exchange" codes of "MA" for Madison (6,2 on the dial) and "KE" for Keystone (5,3 on the dial). MA was the exchange you used to make free "local" phone calls to Disneyland from the Studio/Hollywood/Los Angeles areas. KE was the local Anaheim exchange that was used to call Disneyland locally from within some parts of Orange County.
Hmmm. Wonder if you had the proper area code, if either of these numbers would still ring through to Disneyland? ;)
