This and that

Can you guess what year it is? This view of "It's a Small World" is imposible to get today!

And over at Daveland, Here is one to go with his Adventure thru Inner Space pics

Return to OZ, 1985

You've all heard about it and here it is, The Return to OZ unit from the Main Street Electrical Parade in 1985. Disney had big hopes for this movie, but it bombed ia the box office.

Star Tours April 10th, 1988

On the Eve of it's 20th birthday, here is a shot of Star Tours from the PeopleMover. It's about 9:30 in the morning. Behind us is Space Mountain, with no line, and Mission to Mars and America Sings which wont open till 10:00. This is the last day of operation for America Sings

More Blast

Here are a couple of shots of Blast to the Past '88 At Disneyland. On the Top is Vera, she will be our waitree at the drive-in. Next it a pic of a 1959 Oldsmoblie driving down Main Street! What an odd sight that was! The pic above shows the Tomorrowland Terrace with a Motown theme.

It's Christmastime

Here is a lovely pic of the castle from 2001. I'd say the paint was a little faded, but I like it!

Main Street Christmas

Hey there, kids. Life has been very busy, it's been difficult to post. But, things are slowing down. Thank you for your support!

Here is a pic from last year, don't Main Street look purdy all lit up?

Aladdin's Oasis Construction

Here is a rare shot of the construction of Aladdin's Oasis and Adventureland AVE in the early 1990's.

Toad Hall and Skyway

Capitan Ego, er, EO

Here is a scan of the Capitan Eo postcard/bumpersticker from 1987.
Being Halloween, Michael Jackson is one of the scariest people out there I can think of (besides thr president :) )

Mission to Mars 1984

I apologize for the infrequint posts as I have a new job that takes alot of my time.
For those of you who miss the Mission to Mars, or those of you who don't remember it, here is a great shot of the entrance to that great attraction.

Century 21 Monorail

Something different for today. This is a postcard shot of the Alweg Monorail from the 1962 Seattle World's Fair "Century 21". Like Disneyland's monorail, this one is on the National Landmark lists.
Seattle is my hometown and I miss the monorail running down 5th Ave. Sniff, sniff........

Penny Arcade and Sunkist

Here is a shot from the late 80's. The Penny Arcade still had the Nickelodens and games. The Candy Palace was to the right of the Penny Arcade. And we have Sunkist. I miss not being able to get my freshly squeezed OJ in the morning. Sunkist was a sponser at Disneyland from 1955 to 1990.

Pirates 1984

Here is a shot of the entrance to Pirates before the overpass bridge. It looks SO different :)

Circlevision 1984

In 1983, After the Bell System breakup, Disneyland needed a new sponsor for circlevision. Pacific Southwest Airlines was a prominent airline in the west. PSA Airlines sponsored World Premier Circlevision untill their buyout in 1989 by America West.

Mad Tea Party 1985

This great shot of the Mad Tea Party was taken in July 1985. Spin and puke.........

Golden Horseshoe Jamboree 1989

Between 1985 and 1994, Disneyland presented the Golden Horseshoe Jamboree. It stared Sam the Bartender and Miss Lilly Langtree in a musical variety show similar to the Golden Horseshoe Review. Unlike the Review, this show featured many different actors in the lead rolls over the years. If you look close, in the middle background, I believe this actor is still performing at the magic kingdom.

Blast to the Past Parade 1988

These pics are of the 1988 Blast to the Past Parade. I absolutely love the dancing vacuum tubes!

Donald Duck Birthday Parade 1984

Here is a shot of the 1984 Donald Duck 50th Birthday Parade. I think some of these parade units were recyled for Disneyland's 30th a year later.

Tomorrowland 1984

Who could ask for more in 1984. Look closely at the banner on the upper level on Space Mountain.
Its for Donald Duck's 50th birthday celebration.

Fantasyland 1985

This shot was taken in July 1985 from the skyway. Boy I miss the skyway!
