This title may yet see the light of day. According to UltimateDisney.com, a web site dedicated to covering the world of Disney DVDs, sources close to this project say it has been shifted to an autumn 2006 release. Here's what UltimateDisney.com had to say:

"Sources within and close to Disney have told us that Secrets, Stories and Magic of the Happiest Place on Earth has been tentatively re-slated to arrive on DVD this fall. Originally planned for release on July 12, 2005, the disc was delayed at the 11th hour for no clear reason. ...This much-anticipated DVD will contain a number of things, all related to the world's premiere theme park, Disneyland. The main program is Disneyland: Then, Now and Forever, a brand new, never-before-seen, feature-length documentary on the Anaheim resort. Supplements, as originally announced, are to include the "Wonderful World of Disneyland" trivia game (with beginner and advanced levels), interviews with Diane Disney Miller and former Imagineer Rolly Crump, rare footage of Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse on stage at Radio City Music Hall in 1962, the 12 sing along songs from Disneyland Fun, and, inside the case, a collectible replica of the original Disneyland E-ticket book. Those contents are subject to change, as is the expected autumn timeframe. ...If the planned release date holds up, we should be getting a new announcement in anywhere from a few weeks to a few months."

So this is terrific news for those of you, like me, who have been impatiently awaiting its release. Personally, I'm psyched by the news, even if it is only rumor at this point. Hang in there, and don't give up hope of owning this before the end of the year.

On a recent trip to Disneyland, I purchased a DVD with the 50th anniversay artwork on the front, thinking it was history of the park. Boy was I wrong. Do not buy the park DVD, instead wait for this one. The one currently selling at the park is nothing more than the travel video Diseny sends out as a promotional for the park. The DVD advertised as COMING SOON here is more along the lines of what I thought I was getting. Let's hope this DVD actually makes a debut sometime soon. How much longer can they hold out?

Everyone can relax. This title will be released on December 11 along with The Chronological Donald Duck Volume III and Oswald The Lucky Rabbit.

Some friends of mine got to see a sneak preview of this DVD and they said it was one of the best things they've ever seen about Walt Disney and Disneyland. They said it had heart. They said they laughed and cried and laughed some more. That it was obviously not a collection of Disney commercials. It made them want to go to back to Disneyland all over again, but look at it with different eyes. It sounds like its done to me. So, Disney, why can't WE see it? I was planning to buy a ton of them for Christmas gifts for all my friends and family !!

There has been some news, actually from Disney themselves, of this title since the last review. Apparently it will be released in 2007 as part of the new Walt Disney Legacy. Check out [...]

I believe this DVD will be released sometime in December of 2005. Do not want to get anyones hopes up, but I have a good source who feels this will be the time. I have seen brief cuts and this is probably the best Disneyland DVD yet!!! Look for the release in December 2005, January 2006 at the latest.

If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but won't you be glad if I'm right!!!!! Former Disney Cast Member - Animation/Art of Disney

This long-awaited documentary about Disneyland is now the main feature of the newest addition to the Disney Treasures series !! Yay!! Better get it while you can at the pre-release price !!

Walt Disney Treasures - Disneyland - Secrets, Stories & Magic, will be the new name. It will be released on December 11th 2007. I am excited, this was suppose to be released in 2005 as part of the 50th year celebration. Should be an awesome DVD.

This DVD includes incredible video and soundbites from the people whose hearts went into creating the park that Walt so loved. It is wonderful to hear the workers tell their stories, explain some of the magic at Disneyland, and share their experiences. You won't find Hollywood fluff in this DVD, but the heart and soul of Disneyland! If you are a Disneyland fanatic, you will love this DVD. If you love Disneyland history, you will cling to every word. If you have no idea of what Disneyland is truly about, you will when you have finished watching. This video will make you laugh, then cry, then smile again!

Well pall, its the 11th & I don't see the "ad to cart" button.I'll just bet, if they keep prolonging this DVD we might be able to buy it in a set with Disneyland's 100th.
