You got to love the internet.
Ok. When Disneyland opened, they sold an 1890s-era style newspaper for $.10 . Appropriate-period dressed newpaper boys sold the paper on Main Street, U.S.A., reminiscent of a bygone era.
The Question is:
Who was the paper's editor?
And for a Bonus:
What was the paper called?

After a bit of research I'm going to go for; Martin Sklar writing the The Disneyland News.
I didn't know that they used to have a newspaper?

You guys are tough. Yes, kcarts, you are correct. Safen Sound, FL is the home port to the Miss Tilly. Your turn!

Joe Montana?
Edit: A quick google search shows that I'm wrong by about 9 years.
