Steve Martin once worked in this shop

From Steve Birnbaum brings you the best of Disneyland 1982:
When Betty Hutton came to Disneyland some years ago, she grew tired of being hounded for her autograph, so she stopped in this shop and bought herself a pair of long false eyelashes, a pirate's hat, and a special sword that looked as if it pierced her head. People kept on stopping her, but not because they recognized her-they just wanted to know where she had bought her crazy hat. The array of possible dis- guises for sale in this boutique (on the east side of the Castle courtyard) is wonderful indeed. With big dollars and the aid of some realistic-looking latex masks, you can transform yourself into a Franken- stein, a gorilla, a grandfather or a ghoul, a skeleton or Darth Vader. Smaller budgets will allow for a pair of bloodshot eyes, a box of clown makeup, black fingernails, etc. Because this is a magic shop, how- ever, there are also books full of magic tricks, and there are packaged tricks as well. The Disney- landers who preside over the place will occasionally give a good demonstration. Party jokes like plastic ice cubes and rubber eggs, and those beloved fittings of an American childhood-black eight balls, slinkies, and magic rocks-can also be found here. The structure itself, a shuttered cottage with a red-shingled roof and small dormer windows on the second story, gave the cue for the style of the new Fantasyland. Located in the Castle courtyard.
