Welcome to Magazine Monday. Today’s we’ve got a fun look at Walt Disney and his many simultaneous projects as he headed into 1963. From December 31, 1962 its Newsweek Magazine with a business feature story “The World of Walt Disney”.

This four page article does a good job of summarizing all the “things” Walt was involved in. An “Eastern Disneyland in Florida”? Nah, that’ll never happen. I like Walt’s quote regarding the upcoming opening of the Tiki Room “I’m not in any hurry to open the room”. Robots in the Haunted Mansion; “Ogres, elves and transparent ghosts”.

TokyoMagic, take special note of Walt’s plan for “all of the Disney Characters (to be AA) so everyone can see them. . . I have in mind a theater …” Reason enough to bring the Mickey Mouse Revue to Anaheim.

I had a 1965 Lincoln, that thing was built like a vault! It’s hard to imagine when this model came out in 1961 it was considered a “smaller” luxury car.

Wow, the 1963 Buick Riviera sure was striking. “Almost feline in its sure-footedness”.

Cigarettes are nasty! And this lady seems to be getting a little friendly with these guys; you know what they say about musicians, its not just cigarettes they smoke!
