Frontierland Details

Howdy folks, today we're gonna be in Frontierland. Here are some shots made with that new fangled thing called a camera. First up is a sign for Davy Crockett's Pioneer Mercantile.

Next we have a banner for the Shootin' Gallery. I never do well here.

And finally for today we are back to Pioneer Mercantile and some boxes that are on the shelf outside.

The 30th Again

Going with the 30th theme some more. Here is a shot of Town Square right before the Rededication ceremony (They do that alot on the anniversary days). As you can see there is a giant bed sheet up infront of the Main Street station as the background. At the bottom of the pix is the control station for the sound and lights. Boy do I remember that it was HOT that day.

Thursday's Corner

Today I bring you the next instalment of Corners of Buildings. Today its from Fantasyland circa 1984. First up is the Village Haus.

Here we have an area above Pinocchio's Daring Journey.

Ad to end today's post, we have Mr. Toad's Wild Ride Que line complete with Skyway tower.

More Disneyland's 30th

A few post ago I ran the TV Guide two page ad for Disneyland's 30th Anniversary Celebration. This post I'll give you the rest. These are the 1/4 page bumps for the show on Febuary 18th, 1985. First up is the Julie Andrews bump.

The oh-so-macho David Hasselhoff of Knight Rider
The up and coming Julian Lennon (singing 'Valotte' and 'Much Too Late for Goodbyes')

And here is the description of the show. I haven't forgotten Vintage Disneyland Tickets, It's in the car waiting for me to get to the post office :)

Aladdin's Oasis

Here is a reservation card from the Aladdin's Oasis show from 1993. I got this comped for me as the food from the show I was at earlier in the year made me sick. I don't remember going to the park in September though.

Time for a Cookie

This bag held a cookie. I remember getting it at The Golden Horseshoe. It has that great 35Th anniversary logo and a very happy Mickey.

A Piney New Year

For your approval, here is a pix of Alpine Gardens circa 1988. For those that don't remember Alpine Gardens, it was the front and back yards of Monsanto's House of the Future. When the House was removed in 1967, Disney left the gardens intact including the covered patio which was turned into a gift stand. The majority of the gardens remained intact even through the subsequent remodels of Ariel's Grotto and Pixie Hollow. So when you look at the area today remember that some of that landscaping dates back to 1957. Happy New Year!!!!!

Christmas On Main Street, USA

This shot is from the mid '90s. The time period between Flower Street and the Carnation Cafe. Carnation's Ice Cream Parlor it to the right, where the Blue Ribbon Bakery is now and it was overflow seating for the Parlor outside. I do have to say I prefer it this way to the way it is now as it is just too congested in this area. In front, it's the Dickens Band playing Christmas songs for you. Happy Holidays, Everyone!

Parking Lot 1992

So here is a shot of the parking lot from 1992. I loved being able to park this close to the entrance. My car (pictured) at the time was a 1967 Ford Thunderbird 4 Door Landau, the kind with the suicide doors in back.

From TV Guide

From TV Guide in February 1985, It's Disneyland's 30th Anniversary Celebration.

Main Street, USA! West Side! April, 1988

Here is part two of the Main Street USA series from April 1988. First up is the old locker building that was behind The Emporium. I think that this facade was much more in line with the feel of Town Square. What bothers me most about the Emporium addition in the early 1990's is that the style of the facades are more Queen Anne than Victorian.

The Emporium in its original colors.

The Crystal Arcade with it's 1980's colors.

The next two shots show the Carnation Ice Cream Parlor. This was during the first Blast To the Past Spring Promotion in 1988. The Parlor was dressed up as a 1950's malt shop.

The Sunkist Citrus House!
