Was there ever helicopter service available to Disneyland?
Yes there were regular flights between Disneyland and the Van Nuys, Burbank and LAX airports. United Airlines operated Disneyland/LAX helicopter service in the 1960's. United had a small fleet of Sikorsky helicopters that seated about 20 passengers, with a flight crew of 2 in the cockpit and 2 stewardesses who provided a quick drink service en route to Disneyland.There is a full page ad in a 1964 Life Magazine touting United's direct helicopter service to Disneyland and the Disneyland Hotel. This was also the same time that United was the proud sponsor of the Enchanted Tiki Room, and the ad has a small plug for United's sponsored attraction in the copy. The United advertisement also mentions that before landing at the Disneyland Hotel, helicopter passengers receive a "grand circle tour" of the Magic Kingdom in the skies above Disneyland. The ad shows a picture of a large helicopter hovering above the Park. The service was most likely discontued due to accidents:

In 'America the Beautiful' there is a scene where a fireman is driving the back of a ladder truck down a street. Where was it filmed?
Los Angeles (Westwood Villlage Area) Here is a excerpt from the spiel:
Ahead of us, crowning its famous hills, San Francisco: city of light, city of elegance and grace.
What other city can boast a street like Lombard Street, where one almost meets oneself coming and going. Here you don't need to turn your head to see the scenery.
To really know San Francisco's charm is to know it at dusk at Fisherman's Wharf. Here a rich variety of sea fare may be found at every door.
A different mood in a different town. A wild ride with a hook and ladder company through the streets of Los Angeles.
Behind the cameras on a movie set. A scene that was once the real America has become make-believe America, recreated on every TV screen in the land.

How did the saying 'Now that you've won, what are you going to do next?' 'I'm going to Disneyland!' get started?
Here is a quote from the book:
Prince of the Magic Kingdom
Eisner picked up one of his major inspirations for promoting the Disney parks from his wife during a social evening with friends. After Jeannie Yeager and Burr Rutan returned from their flight around the world without stopping or refueling--a first--they had dinner with Michael and Jane Eisner. Michael asked the obvious question after such an achievement: "What are you doing next?" Their reply was surprising: "We're going to Disneyland." Jane turned to her husband and said, "Michael, you've got to use that." As a result, in 1987 Disney began featuring ads after great sports events like the Super Bowl and the World Series. The hero of the hour would be caught walking off the field. An off-screen narrator would pop the question, "Now that you've won, what are you going to do next?" The hero of the hour would reply, "I'm going to Disneyland!"

How many people visit Disneyland each day and how much money does Disneyland take in each day?
Disney does not release info about the number of guests and income they make from each park but with some simple math we can figure out the attendance:
1/81 Disneyland welcomed their 200 millionth guest
8/85 Disneyland welcomed their 250 millionth guest
7/97 Disneyland welcomed their 400 millionth guest
So I would say about 10 million a year average I have heard they get about 60,000 guests per day during weekends in the summer, which would leave about 25,000 a day average for other days during the year. And at an average of $35 admission (1,3,5 day passports) that would be $875,000-$2.1 million per day in admission alone.
Not counting food (which I have heard each resturant on a good summer day can take in $20,000) and souvenirs!!

Did Henry Kissinger work from time to time selling popcorn at Disneyland?
Kissenger frequently visited Disneyland, he was always escorted by a Disneyland guard, with a Secret Service contingent in the shadows.
One unusually cold evening, after watching the fireworks, Kissinger asked for a coat. The security guard had one like his own brought over, a heavy topcoat with a Disneyland logo. As they continued walking around, a woman stopped Kissinger and asked him where the restrooms were. He looked at the guard, who said they were on the right. Kissinger then turned to the lady and, in his distinctive voice, answered, "They're on the right." The woman gave him a funny look, only half recognizing the newest Disneyland cast member, and thanked him. Kissinger loved it. And from then on, if someone asked them a question, he wanted to answer.
While that was the first night the statesman "worked" at the park, on later visits they let him sell popcorn from a Disneyland stand. And as he said, "Thank you," people usually gave him a hard second look, but couldn't quite put it together.
