Mucho May 1997

Todays pics are brought to you by the letter O!!! as in oh my god, what are they doing! We are still in 1997, the day of the 1997 Annual Passholder party. First up we have the entrance to Tomorrowland. What, I can't go this way? I'll have to go around.

Here is a peak behind that construction wall. It's a Great Big Pile of Nothing!!!!! The planters that graced the entrance to Tomorrowland had just been removed for construction of the Astro Orbiter. Weeeeeeee!!!!!

Now we're in Tomorrowland at constuction on the old PeopleMover platform. Here is where they are geting ready to remove the Gantry Elevators to the Rocket Jets. As you can see by this time, the old Rocket Jets have been turned into the Communitron. During this phase of contruction, the waklways were constricted tighter than Rosie O'Donnald's corset.

Here is a closer shot of the Gantry Lift.......

This shot is looking down at the old Mission To Mars building. At this time it was used for parking of dumpsters. In the forground you can see the Speedramp entrance to Space Mountain.

Finally today, we have this picture. I couldn't tell what it was to start with. Then it dawned on me, It's the begining constuction of the Mickey and Friends Parking structure. This is from the Monorail Platform....
Thats all for today!!!!!

Light Magic Annual Passholder Party 1997

Further Adventures of Blast To the Past 1988

Here is some more pics of the Blast to the Past spring promo in 1988. First up we have a Beach Party st up in front of 'it's a small world'. As I remember the clearances for the parade passing were tight. It also blocked entrance to Videopolis somewhat.

Ever wondered how they get the confetti off the awnings on Main Street? Know you know!

Here are a couple of pics of the Main Street Hop dance thingy that they had. It taught people how to hula hoop and twist. In the next season, 1989's Blast to the past, Disneyland combined the Hop and the parade into just a parade.

"Come on, baby Lets do the twist"

Here's a pic of the Tomorrowland Terrace. The stage was done up like a giant Jukebox. If you look on the top of the stage you can see they built the jukebox around Rolly Crump's "Organic Sculpture". They just recently put something similar back up on top. The original was removed in 1990. Also if you look you can see the back of the sign for America Sings. If I remember right this pic was taken April 10th, 1988, The night it closed.

Souvenir Saturday

Here is an interesting souvenir from the opening of Indiana Jones Adventure in 1995. It is a "Boarding Pass" / Passport for the attraction. I can't remember if this was given out on opening day (which I think It was) or I bought it. Anyway it's an interesting souvenir.
