ABOUT THE PRESENTATION:
From Disneyland News, November 1955: "Walt’s latest venture marks his first entry into the circus field, and the show promises to be one of the greatest things he has done. Titled the Mickey Mouse Club Circus, it will present animal acts and aerialists, clowns and elephants and introduce to the public, for the first time in person, the Mickey Mouse Club Mouseketeers, including Jimmy Dodd, the Grand Mouseketeer as Ringmaster and Roy Williams, the “Big Mooseketeer,” as the Circus Strong Man. The Mouse Club Circus will boast a menagerie of more than 80 animals, a talent roster of over 70 performers picked by Walt personally from the best circus talent available in the world.
Some of these star attractions include Professor George Keller’s Feline Fantastics, wild animals act fresh from engagements with Ringling Bros. and the Ted DeWayne troupe of acrobats and gymnasts. DeWayne’s troupe has appeared in 46 states and 32 foreign countries with its sensational trampoline, tumbling and human pyramid gyrations.
Action will get underway Thanksgiving Day with an old time Circus parade up Main Street. The entire Circus cast — animals, acrobat clowns and Mouseketeers will march or be pulled in magnificent, original circus wagons. The parade will be climaxed by the official lighting of Disneyland’s “Old Fashioned Christmas” displays and the entire Main Street will sparkle from the illumination of colored lights on every building and in every shop window."
Walt was very fond of circuses, once stating “I’ve been fascinated by the clowns and the animals, the music and the excitement ever since I worked in one of these wonderful shows for a few days as a youngster. While I’ve had a number of circus themes in our pictures through the years—you will remember Dumbo as an example—we’ve never had a real honest-to-goodness live circus until now. It seemed to us that Disneyland was just the right spot for one. We are happy to present, in their first personal appearance, the Mouseketeers from the Mickey Mouse Club television show. And in the show, you will also see the old circus wagons we have collected—interesting show rigs which have rolled all over America and which are now restored to their original glory. I hope the Mickey Mouse Club Circus will add many pleasant memories to your visit to Disneyland.”
