E Ticket Magazine

There was a wonderful fan magazine published from 1986 to 2009.  I have been slowly accumulating all the issues and am currently missing only three more issues.  Two issues featured Snow White's Scary Adventures - issue 4 and 13.  While I'm still waiting to find issue 4, I have issue 13.

It's a very interesting look into the original attraction before it was update.

While you can no longer buy very early issues, you can purchase them on CD-Rom.  The Walt Disney Family Museum acquired all the content to the magazine and you can now purchase back issues as well as the CDS.

1938 Liberty Magazine

I recently recieved this April 9, 1938 issue of Liberty magainze.

According to Wikipedia:
Liberty was a weekly, general-interest magazine, originally priced at five cents and subtitled, "A Weekly for Everybody." It was launched in 1924 by McCormick-Patterson, the publisher until 1931, when it was taken over by Bernarr Macfadden until 1941. At one time it was said to be "the second greatest magazine in America," ranking behind The Saturday Evening Post in circulation. It featured contributions from some of the biggest politicians, celebrities, authors, and artists of the 20th Century. The contents of the magazine provide a unique look into popular culture, politics, and world events through the Roaring 20s, Great Depression, World War II, and Post-War America. It ceased publication in 1950 and was revived briefly in 1971.

The article inside is pretty interesting:

Good Housekeeping Decmeber 1937

Continuing on with the story (Poor little Jonny, had to wait until mommy got her new good housekeeping to hear about what happened to the little princess) - here is part two for the Good Housekeeping December 1937 issue.

Good Housekeeping November 1937

I got this fantastic magazine in the mail the other day - It's amazing how much more substantial magazines of the past are!  Poor children whose parents read them this as a bedtime story - part two was in Good Housekeeping December's issue!  (look for post on that next week!)  The story is fun to read and the art chosen to accompany it is so fantastic.  However, I admit, that the advertisements really caught my eye!

Popular Science Magazine

I was reading the Disney and more blog when I found out that Popular Science Magazine has all thier magiznes archived on thier website.  Searching for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs will produce quite a few hits.  The January 1938 issue has an article "Putting a Fairy Tale on Screen."  In the article there is a discussion of the various sound capturing techinques used.  There is also article on  a marionette kit of Dopey in the October 1938 issue.  Some of the hits bring up adds for just that kit.  Even searching for Disney gives you quite a few hits.  I haven't finished searching and reading yet - there's a wealth of information out there!

Celebrations: Discovering the Magic of WDW

At the D23 Expo I found out about Celebrations Press and their magazine celebrating Walt Disney World. I am a West coaster and a Disneyland passholder but this magazine won me over. (Don't get me wrong - I love visiting WDW - on the rare occasion I make it to the east coast). I had been saving up the issues to read during this winter vacation break and was pleasantly surprised to find information about Snow White! The November December 2009 issue featured Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs as the feature film. It had even included one fact I hadn't read before! Then the September/October 2009 issue informed me that a Beatles song "Do you want to know a secret?" is based on "I'm Wishing"! No wonder I love that Beatles song! I'll have to order the back issues and see what I have missed!
