''Disneyland Dream'' is a 1956 home movie featuring the Barstow family of Weathersfield, Connecticut, filmed by family patriarch Robbins Barstow (1919-2010). Robbins Barstow had been an amateur movie-maker since he received his first home movie camera at the age of ten and was a member of the Amateur Cinema League. In 1956 the Barstow family--Robbins, wife Meg, and their children Mary, David, and Daniel--were one of 25 families that won free trips to [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Disneyland]] in a contest sponsored by 3M, makers of Scotch tape. Robbins documented his family's vacation and edited it into a 34-minute home movie. The film starts with the Barstows making their submissions to the contest, then receiving word that they had won the prize, then flying cross-country in propeller planes to Los Angeles, where they hit some of the tourist destinations of the L.A. area before visiting Disneyland, which, at the time the Barstows visited, had only been open for a year and still wasn't fully completed.

!!Tropes:
* AmusementPark: Besides Disneyland, the Barstows also visited Knott's Berry Farm, which is older than Disneyland and in fact is the oldest of all the amusement parks in southern California.
* BeachEpisode: The Barstows take the ferry to Catalina Island and swim on the beach.
* TheCameo: At about the 20:20 mark, as the Barstows are entering Disneyland, a child can be seen crossing from left to right at the bottom of the frame, wearing a top hat and a black vest, holding out some sort of papers. That child is...wait for it...none other than Creator/SteveMartin, then 11 years old and working his first job, which was selling programs and souvenirs at Disneyland.
* Ride/DisneyThemeParks: Look! They had the teacup ride back then!
* {{Documentary}}: A home movie, actually, but doubling as a pretty nifty record of how Disneyland looked when it was brand new. Robbins Barstow did not simply record a lot of raw footage, but edited it into a pretty sophisticated short film.
* {{Fainting}}: All the Barstows theatrically faint away upon receiving the telegram telling them they'd won the contest, except for little 4-year-old Dan Barstow, who does a somersault.
* MundaneMadeAwesome: Maybe a cross-country free vacation wasn't so mundane for a middle-class family in 1956. But the film still smacks of this, especially the opening title card describing "The Fantastic, Real-Life, Dream-Come-True Adventure of the Barstow Family of Weatherfield, Connecticut."
* {{Narrator}}: Originally a silent film; narration by Robbins Barstow added in 1995.
* NuclearFamily: Mom, Dad, and three fresh-faced, happy children, all going to an amusement park.
* StandardFiftiesFather: Robbins Barstow, taking his family to Disneyland, toting his home movie camera along.
* StopMotion: Used for the final "TheEnd" title card, which appears as a roll of Scotch tape unwinding over a poster.
* TitleDrop: As the film ends, Robbins Barstow speaks of "this marvelous Disneyland dream."
* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: In a sense, every home movie is in fact an intentional period piece. But this film not only documents long-gone Disneyland attractions but also show such things as the Eastern Airlines propeller plane the Barstows flew on.
