Ok, really cool Disneyland Lost & Found story. When I was 5 or 6 (1967 or 8ish) my southern California family took our visiting Kansas relatives to Disneyland. I have vivid memories of seeing the fireworks over the tops of buildings in Tomorrowland, my aunt Lyla screaming bloody murder when the train came at us in Mr. Toad, and the general awe at the fireflies ("so realistic") in Pirates. The pirate with the ("dirty, hairy") dangling leg also made quite an impression. At some point in the day, I became separated from my wallet. My first wallet, and I had 3 DOLLARS AND 47 CENTS in it! At the end of the evening, we reported it to Lost & Found, knowing it was gone forever. Lo, and behold, in the mail, what do we receive, but my wallet, and a genuine official Disneyland check typed out to Master James A. Barkley for the princely sum of 3 dollars and 47 cents! I, of course, wanted to spend that check as fast as I could, but my mom decided it was, like, some kind of collector's item.

It probably would be, if I still had it.
