Lunchbox & Thermos, Disneyland, 1957
Add to SetSummary
Disneyland, America's first theme park, opened in 1955 in Anaheim, California. With the consummate skill of a filmmaker and storyteller, Walt Disney (with his Imagineers) reduced popular American themes to their essence to create each attraction. Sleeping Beauty Castle, the main feature of the park, appears on this lunchbox while the thermos sports an image of Frontierland's Mark Twain steamboat.
