No other periodical has covered the history of Disneyland as thoroughly or as well. Almost all content and no ads, this magazine has started to include many full-color pages. Its back-issues are highly prized. Tell Jack and Leon we sent you.

NOTE: E-Ticket has temporarily ceased publication due to the tragic death of co-founder, Leon Janzen. We hope they resume soon.

This is actually an auction house for a wide-range of collectibles from political memoribelia, through sports collectibles, and toys of all kinds. Your subscription to their catalog is an education. They manage to get a lot of really rare old Disney collectibles as well as contemporary stuff. I've yet to see one of their auctions where I wasn't salivating over two or three items.

The National Fantasy Fan Club for Disneyana Enthusiasts is the largest organization of Disney collectors in the world with local chapters across the US. Their bi-annual conventions feature great speakers from the Disney Company and other exciting events. Their monthly newsletter is included in your $20.00 annual dues, but it'd be worth that much if that was all you got. In fact, for many members that is the reason they joined the Club. Seriously, an excellent source for news and infomation about Disney collectibles and other happenings in the Company.


World Tales Mouse Review
This is the newsletter of the World Chapter of the National Fantasy Fan Club, based in the Orlando area. It is included in your chapter membership dues. Its worthwhile joining their chapter no matter where you live, just to get this newsletter. The bonus is that you will be joining one of the best local chapters in the country. The World Chapter regularly schedules special events in addition to their regular meetings. They always have their own Disneyana Show and Sale that coincides with the Official Disneyana Convention in Walt Disney World. Dues are $15.00/year. You must be a member of the NFFC first, of course.
