While many of us like to collect pins, Mickey or Minnie ears, Spirit Jerseys, or any other Disney memorabilia to remember our trips to The Happiest Place On Earth, some Guests enjoy adding more exclusive items to their collections, whether that be intentionally, or inadvertently.
An excellent example of the latter is the bizarre souvenir one Guest recently discovered and shared with the Reddit community.
Redditor u/ChicagoShadow shared a video of an unusual Disneyland Souvenir in their family for generations. This precious memento consists of a six-second snippet that reads “our Disneyland vacation” with an aerial view of the Park in the background, possibly given out — or sold — to Guests visiting Disneyland in its early years to add to their home movies.

Transferring my grandpa’s old movie reels, I found a 6-second strip of film Disneyland must have handed out so tourists would have a title card for their home movies.

Many fellow Redditors were mesmerized by the snippet and even asked the original poster to share a downloadable version of the video to add to their own vacation reels, to which u/ChicagoShadow happily obliged, commenting, “When you wish upon a star…”
The video, while simple, is a remarkable piece of Disneyland history, especially now that vintage items are becoming popular once again, and it is moving to see the footage surface and be shared by a family of Disney Parks lovers.
