The Adventureland Bazaar was a unique shopping experience at Disneyland when it first opened. “You may browse in tropical bazaars examing unique imports” was the language used in the 1956 booklet. I wonder if there were tariffs? Below, you can see movie star Jayne Mansfield perusing the goods with her husband, bodybuilder Mickey Hargitay, just barely in the frame at left.
Below is a previously posted shot of the two; Mickey made it into this one!
The following two images show a family, also inside the Bazaar, figuring out what to buy.
I’m sure these two gals were saying, “Hey, if it’s good enough for Jayne Mansfield, it’s good enough for us!”
Today, on the Disneyland website, the Bazaar’s description, listed under the heading, “Mysterious Merchandise” reads as follows: “Unearth a treasure trove of apparel, accessories, gifts and more at this eclectic emporium.” Sounds like cheap crap to me; I wonder if Jayne would still shop there?
