Disneyland 10th Anniversary

Walt Disney uses a maquette to demonstrate the planned action of an Audio-animatronics pirate in the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction, as seen in this screen shot from the "Disneyland 10th Anniversary" episode of the Walt Disney anthology series.

Disneyland 10th Anniversary, aired in 1965, begins with Walt showing viewers and Disneyland ambassador Julie Reihm plans for upcoming attractions, including It's a Small World, Pirates of the Caribbean and the Haunted Mansion. Then it's on to Disneyland, where we meet the Disney characters celebrating Disneyland’s Tencennial, with both a show in front of the castle and a parade put on by a local high school band and cheerleaders. Next, Walt describes a brief history of the construction of the park, followed by a tour of some of the attractions at the time, including, but not limited to, Matterhorn Bobsleds, Jungle Cruise, the Flying Saucers, the Mine Train Through Nature's Wonderland and the Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room. The climax of the episode is a Dixieland band on the Mark Twain Riverboat as well as some other boats on the Rivers of America put on an interesting water show.
