These days, there are very few vintage Disneyland images that tempt me to purchase them. There are only so many views of the Castle and the Mark Twain that one needs. However, the ones in today’s post are the rare exceptions. Recently, I was alerted to the Disneyland Police Department, which once resided where the Tour Guides now hang out. And just like that, I was able to acquire this gorgeous shot of not only the DPD, but a vintage water fountain and the unique information/souvenir kiosk in Town Square.
Compared to my shot of this area from my last visit to Disneyland (December 2016), the growth of the trees is obvious.
Traveling down Main Street, we see the Intimate Apparel shop. This has always fascinated me; at Disneyland? Bras? Corsets? And right next door is Grandma’s Baby Shop.
And be sure to notice the vintage horsepucky.
As if one fabulous shot of these two shops wasn’t enough, the batch of slides included this SECOND view.
It gives a better view of stuff Granny on the porch:
Just proof that wishes do come true.

There's a few things I've never seen before. First, I always thought the structures to the south of the police station were there. I now see it was an open plot with a mound of dirt. I don't recall seeing a porcelain water fountain before. I thought they were all aluminum basins until now. I don't think I've ever seen a figure seated on the porch before. What a time to be alive; bras, babies, tobacco, a drug store, and replica guns for sale in Frontierland. I wonder if the Tomorrowland git shop sold those little "Gilbert U-238 Atomic Energy Lab" toys that came with Uranium? Anything went back then. Great acquisition to the library.
