Disneyana

Disneyana

Disneyana is a term for toys, books, animation celluloids, theme-park souvenirs, and other collectibles produced by The Walt Disney Company, featuring such characters as Mickey Mouse and Tinker Bell. While used informally among collectors in the 1960s and 1970s, the term was brought to prominence with the publication of Disneyana: Walt Disney Collectibles by Cecil Munsey in 1974 (Hawthorn Books Inc.)

Disneyana hobbyists grew exponentially throughout the 1980s and 1990s, and today's collectors can find Disney items for sale at a variety of online auction sites, as well as at regional and international comics and other collectors shows.

The term Disneyana is not copyrighted, although The Walt Disney Company has opened a Disneyana Store on Main Street, U.S.A. at Disneyland.[1] In general, Disneyana produced during Walt Disney's lifetime (1901–1966) is considered to be among the most desired and valuable of this genre.[citation needed]

The online auction company eBay uses it as a category in its searches. [2]

Additional websites include Disneyana.com founded in March, 1996. [3]

Disneyana is also a fan club based in America. It has many members including Louis A. Mongello, who is also the host of the popular podcast WDW Radio.
