DS, signed “Walter E. Disney,” four pages, 8.5 x 11, November 30, 1960. Minutes of a special meeting of the board of directors of WED Enterprises concerning Disneyland construction. In part: "Mr. Cottrell reported that the officers of the corporation had been negotiating with representatives of Disneyland, Inc. and the Disneyland Hotel with a view to an extension of the Monorail to encompass the Westerly and Southerly boundaries of the Disneyland Parking Lot, to continue to a station at the Disneyland Hotel and to return to the Park." The officers resolved to authorize the project. The document goes on to address "the patent application which had been filed…relative to the Audio-Animatronic idea" and its use in the Nature's Wonderland section of the theme park. In fine condition. Accompanied by an unsigned photo. Disneyland's monorail debuted in 1959 as a sightseeing attraction in the park's Tomorrowland section. Once the two-and-a-half mile expansion was completed in 1961, culminating in a station at the Disneyland Hotel, it became a viable means of transportation within the park.
