Does anybody own a copy of the Limited Edition Walt Disney Treasures Disneyland U.S.A on DVD? If so, would ya care to share some moments ya thought were funny or very cool?

Very cool: Definitly the whole Disneyland After Dark segment especially the Fireworks at Night and Satchmo and the Young Men playing on the Mark Twain. Simply wonderful.

Funny moments: Well, thanx to live TV just being born in the 50s there are plenty in the Disneyland Opening (Dateline Disneyland) but I'll share my favs.

Artie saying of the Mark Twain as it makes its voyages "on the Rivers of the World, of America that is."

More Artie: Re. Peter Pans Flight where you'll get to meet Peter, Tinkerbell and "Captain Crew".

Walt in the middle of dedicating Tommorowland then says "I thought I got a signal" and rededicates it.

Ahh, good ol Artie Linkletter..... More funnies during live TV watch it if you can.

I think it was when I saw Ronald Reagan as a young ACTOR, standing at the Main St. Train Station overlooking the then-desolate Harbor Blvd.

It's amazing how much has changed in 50 years to that area alone. Oh, and my jaw hit the floor when I saw Ronnie...I didn't know he was there for the 50th, but I never saw a picture of him prior to his presidency!

Did people really walk up to Walt and ask for his autograph, or was that just for the TV? Imagine how valuable that piece of paper would be today with Walt's signature on it....

I think it's funny on the 10th Anniversarry Special. When Mary Poppins is flying away, in the background you can see one of the seven dwarfs take off his costume. It looks really weird. But I laughed my head off the first time I saw the Disneyland After Dark. One lady comes up and asks for Walts autograph so Walt has her hold his popcorn while he signs. But she walks off with his popcorn and I thought it was the funniest thing.
