"Disney, Disney, Disney, so popular, I don't care what it is, but ephemera is very popular. Everything Disney, people just go nuts, they just love Disney, so anything, anything, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, you name it. So I've got some great Disney stuff. Old Disneyland postcards are really in demand. And this is an old Main Street shot, this is when they had the up John Pharmacy on the street, and they use to give away these cool little bottles of vitamins, they're very cool, I actually have some of those too. But anyway, people collect these, because, the baby boomer's, they just love to look back at Disney. Here's the old street car, they use to have in the street. These cards are worth 3, 4, 5 dollars a piece, people love them. Look at this, this is so cool, this is a postcard pack. These are colorful scenes from Adventure Land. Did I mention, that I worked in Adventure Land, I was a skipper on the jungle cruise, serious, it was awesome, I also got to press the button in the bird show, you know, beep, the village where they sing. Look at this, here's me, I was right there. I only did this a couple of years ago, because I just decided, you know, I want to be a skipper in the jungle cruise, okay, you're hired. So here I am, right here in the jungle cruise. But aren't these cool. You know the jungle cruise was one of the originals, (the tiki room, that was what I was thinking of) jungle cruise is one of the original rides and all those cool- you know what, they couldn't use the guns then, they took away the guns, so we had to make a joke about the hippos, but now the guns are back. Here's another thing, here's a ticket, a special party ticket, family fun night, I don't know what that means, but it evidently was a good time. Then over here, here's a beach party, oh, this is employee memorabilia, very cool, check this out. This is when you work at Disneyland, this is all the propaganda they give you, "Disneyland Restaurants and You", it's when you go through the training, that's another huge collectible. "Introducing you to the Disney Food Service Family", people love behind the scenes. You know what, when I was working at Disneyland, you know what I saw back behind the scenes, Mickey without his head, it was frightening, it really was, it kind of blew my whole- it was sad, it was very sad. Look at this, oh Elsey, that's not Disney, it got mixed in the wrong one. Check this out, Disneyland Resort college program. Now I had a friend who was in the college program, a student, and, so, what they do is, they hire students and pay them to be there, and they also train them and they give them housing, and that's a summer program, and there's just, you know, there's just- look at this, brochures, people collect these, they're wonderful. So save your Disneyland stuff, because even now, you don't want to throw that away, it's awesome, the old tickets can be worth, 5, 10, 20 bucks a piece, that was when they had E-tickets, before they stamped your hand, or whatever they do now. It's very cool."
