WALT DISNEY’S DISNEYLAND
MARK TWAIN As an often tranquil attraction amongst the excited pace of Disneyland, the “Mark Twain Riverboat” has earned its place in over 60 years of Disneyland history. The popularity of the attraction has led to the Riverboat’s likeness and name to appear on a variety of Disneyland souvenirs from even the earliest of days at the park, with similar Riverboats with the same name even appearing at Disneyland Paris and Tokyo Disneyland. Some of the earliest Disneyland souvenirs featured the iconic and easily recognizable image of the “Mark Twain”, and items from the attraction are still cherished today by some of the countless guests who have stood aboard the historic riverboat.
