Step back into 1995 and relive the nostalgia of the Magic Kingdom Club with the Update ’95: The Wonder World of Disney VHS! This exclusive video was sent to Magic Kingdom Club Gold Card members, packed with exciting news, special offers, and a retro look at Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Featuring Walt Disney himself, this update celebrates Disney’s history while highlighting its future.
What Was the Magic Kingdom Club?
The Magic Kingdom Club (MKC) started in 1957 as a membership program offering unique discounts and perks. Originally, it catered to corporate groups, but it expanded over the decades to welcome individual members. By the 1980s and 1990s, it became a must-have for Disney fans.
Gold Card members received annual VHS updates that provided behind-the-scenes previews, upcoming park attractions, and limited-time offers. These videos were not just informative—they became true collector’s items.
Update ’95: The Wonder World of Disney
The 1995 MKC update is a standout for many reasons. Titled The Wonder World of Disney, it kicks off with Walt Disney himself introducing Tinker Bell as our guide for the journey. This footage was cleverly borrowed from the 1958 An Adventure in the Magic Kingdom episode of The Wonderful World of Color.
In this year’s video, Disneyland is celebrating its 40th Anniversary, with special offers for Magic Kingdom Club Gold Card members, including: 10% off accommodations at the Disneyland Hotel, 15% off dining at select restaurants, Discounted park tickets
These savings were a major perk for Disney fans planning a vacation to the original Magic Kingdom.
What Else Was Featured?
The video also promoted upcoming attractions, Disney films, and family vacation packages:
- A glimpse at Tomorrowland updates at Magic Kingdom Park
- Indiana Jones Adventure at Disneyland Park
- Previews of Disney animated films like Pocahontas and A Goofy Movie
The upbeat 1990s style, paired with exclusive looks behind the scenes, made this video both informative and fun for Disney enthusiasts.
