Euro Disneyland Mickey Mouse Character PAUL CASTLE 1986 Retirement Walt Disney

Description: Euro Disneyland Mickey Mouse Character PAUL CASTLE 1986 Retirement Walt Disney Collectible Disneyland Treasures from Saturday's Toys presents... a vintage issue of the Disneyland Line cast member newsletter; Vol. 18, No. 5, January 30, 1986. The issue provides the official retirement announcement for Paul Castle (1923 - 2010)... well known to be Walt Disney's preferred performer as Mickey Mouse whenever Walt and Mickey were slated to appear together. After 23 years of performing as Mickey (perhaps most notably with Walt Disney on January 1, 1966 when Walt served as Grand Marshal of the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena)... Paul's time at Disneyland came to a close as he and his wife Alma (also a character performer) moved to Las Vegas for their retirement. Perhaps more than any other individual in company history... Paul Castle represented Walt Disney with every hand that he shook... and every guest that he welcomed to Disneyland. The historic issue also chronicles the reactions in France in response to Disney's announcement on December 18, 1985 that their newest Disney resort (Euro Disney / Disneyland Paris / Euro Disneyland) would be built near Paris in Marne-la-Vallee. While some of the negative press is quickly addressed, the bulk of the article presents the positive reactions elsewhere, notably in "Paris Match" magazine. Also discusses the acquisition of Hughes Electronics by General Motors... and the private party that GM threw at Disneyland to celebrate the merger of the two companies.
