A Live Comedy Performance with Charles Phoenix & Bob Gurr

A Celebration of Disneyland in the 1950s & ’60s

Join Charles Phoenix, Ambassador of Americana, for a lively and nostalgic journey through the early days of Disneyland.

Through his colorful collection of vintage slides, Charles explores the park’s original lands—Main Street USA, Adventureland, Fantasyland, Frontierland, and Tomorrowland—bringing to life the sights, stories, and spirit of Disneyland’s first decades.

The program also highlights early Tomorrowland, once promoted as “The World of 1986,” the all-new Tomorrowland of 1967, and the futuristic House of the Future.

Charles will celebrate the legendary work of Disney Imagineer Bob Gurr, whose creations include the Autopia cars, Matterhorn Bobsleds, PeopleMover, Main Street vehicles, and the Disneyland Monorail.

At the conclusion of the performance, Bob Gurr will join Charles on stage to share a few personal stories and reflections from his extraordinary career helping shape the Disneyland experience.
