Here are 2 early ones from Fantasyland; based upon some of the other slides, these are most likely 1955/1956. First we see Dumbo in action, back when his ears actually moved. Shot 2 is over at the Chicken of the Sea Pirate Ship, with a wicked stroller barely peeking out on the left, and the Battle of the Butts on the right. This must be an early shot, due to the chicken wire fencing that I see. Dig that way cool footwear on the gent holding the child!
See more vintage and contemporary Disneyland photos at my main website.
Timothy hasn't taken up residence on top of the Dumbo ride yet!
ReplyDeleteGreat color on these slides....
Nice rich color on these babies! I love the Guys shoes, where can I get a pair of those??? Ultra-cool pants patern on the lady on the left! I also notice a what appears to be a empty box of Marlboro Reds on the ground with some other trash!
ReplyDeleteDid you ever notice the trash on the ground in the early photos? I guess Walt didn't crack down on that until after the first year or two...

I want to know where the dad is? The photo looks like Mom, Son, Grandmother and Grandfather!
ReplyDeleteMatterhorn - Dad's got the camera, of course!
