This nametag was worn by General Motors staff working at the attraction. This particular example was on a keyring attached to some kind of van that sat backstage. What was that van for? Who rode in it? It boggles the mind.

Here are the latest conquests from the outer steppes of Mongolia.
We have for your enjoyment some Walt Disney World costume pieces. These are vintage, dating to the late 1970's or early 1980's. They are both hallmarked © WALT DISNEY PRODUCTIONS, and the Hostess badge is also hallmarked N.S. MEYER, NEW YORK, which is the company that made these pieces.

The Disney Store
First off, is the nametag being worn in the Disney Stores with the new "Imagination Park" concept:
In case you haven't been to the new stores remodeled with the new concept, the tree on this new nametag is representative of a feature added to the new stores. The trees feature projections of Disney characters, and other promotional images.

Disneyland Ambassadors

This is the very beautifil badge that is given to Cast Members selected to be official Disneyland Ambassadors. What does that mean exactly? Well, I'm going to be lazy (again) and steal some info from wikipedia... "Disney ambassadors are selected cast members who are chosen and to represent and promote each Disney resort. The program started in 1965 by Walt Disney. For the 50th anniversary of Disneyland Park, actress and Disney Legend Julie Andrews was asked to be the honorary 50th anniversary ambassador."
Julie Reihm was selected to be the very first Disneyland Ambassador. Here she is..
My compliments to whoever designed this costume for the Tour Guides. Certainly easy on the eyes. Two weeks ago Disneyland selected the 2011/2012 Ambassador team. Here is one of them:
Her name is Jolie Hales, and she hails (pun intended) originally from the town just to the north of where I live. She is also an independent film director and producer. She wrote and directed a short film called "Latter Day Fake" which has won many awards at film festivals.
(if you ever read this, Jolie, and you are in search of a Disneyland-obsessed returned missionary who is also a film junkie, please don't hesitate to call me!)

It's been my pleasure


If you click on the above picture to enlarge it, you can see the red triangular paper badge that the boy is wearing. This was given to all participants in the Guided Tour. These paper badges came in many colors..
