Disneyland Dream (1956) is a home movie made by Robbins and Meg Barstow that documents their family's free trip to the newly opened Disneyland. The one-week trip was a prize they won in a contest sponsored by Scotch tape.[2] The movie was shot with a 16 mm handheld camera.[1] It lasts approximately 35 minutes.[1] An audio track was added to the film in 1995.[1]
The Barstows lived in Wethersfield, Connecticut. They flew to California with TWA and stayed at the Huntington-Sheraton Hotel in Pasadena. They visited other Southern California locations, including Knott's Berry Farm, Hollywood, Grauman's Chinese Theatre, Beverly Hills, Universal Studios, Will Rogers' home and Catalina Island on their July 1956 trip.
Comedian Steve Martin, who worked at Disneyland as a teen, appears briefly at 20:20 into the film, selling programs as he walks left to right in the lower right part of the frame, dressed in top hat, dark vest, and a pink striped shirt.[3]
