Hi Fred,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The "Disneyland" logo in that specific medieval-style font was prominently used in the late 1960s, after the park's first few expansions like Tomorrowland's redesign in 1967.
From the dimensions your provided, this looks like a child's t-shirt; currently, this and other similar t-shirts have been selling for pretty modest values at auction - usually between $20-30 if in exceptionally good and nearly unworn condition; worn t-shirts are between $10 and $15. For what it's worth, it's the adult t-shirt market that's very hot right now.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
