It is interesting that the sign says "Jr. Autopia of Fantasyland" as I haven't come across that in a printed source.<br /><br />Excellent series!Jason Schultzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13193194008194991219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-17253633499217989832010-06-22T23:56:21.557-07:002010-06-22T23:56:21.557-07:00Yep, these are pretty freakin' incredible!
I ...Yep, these are pretty freakin' incredible!<br /><br />I know that Fort Wilderness was built on the island, but could any part of it been built backstage? In that pre-Alice shot (5th shot from top), it looks like two stockade towers are sitting in the backstage area. Maybe it's just me....TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-6543519235254154192010-06-22T19:08:41.089-07:002010-06-22T19:08:41.089-07:00Those daytime shots, with the park nearly empty......Those daytime shots, with the park nearly empty...give me my time machine!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-42007066210040617652010-06-22T14:22:12.115-07:002010-06-22T14:22:12.115-07:00OMG!

Yes, I believe that "Jr." is in that blue circle, that is definitely the Junior Autopia, which later became just the Fantasyland Autopia. That photo is fantastic! The shot at dusk is a beauty too.<br /><br />BTW, that lake was for the Phantom Boats, although the boats are clearly gone by this point.Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-38853681554298390882010-06-22T05:44:44.734-07:002010-06-22T05:44:44.734-07:00Those are a true treasure.

The first few really give a great sense of where things were in 1956!<br /><br />I thought the second Autopia was called "Junior Autopia" but the 1956 sign says "Autopia of Fantasyland"? Does it say "Jr." in that blue circle?<br /><br />Awesome series - Thanks!Vintage Disneyland Ticketshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14790755040005517146noreply@blogger.com
