What a *great* photo of the sign! Has anybody come across photos of the Harbor Boulevard entrance before 1957? Last I knew (which was several years ago), the Walt Disney Archives had no idea what sign was there before this one, which I think was put up in '57.
I know this is belated, but I've been doing some areial photo searches for the sign. All the high res photos of opening day '55 show NOTHING in the triangle that held the sign. 1960 pics show the sign. So, I think nothing but temp stuff was out at the time, and the pictured clasic sign was put up a few months later.

ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome photo!
ReplyDeleteNot only juicy but delicious as well! Very nice post! :)
ReplyDeleteFantabulous, Dave! That sign was just perfect. Simple good design always beats electronic bells n' whistles.
ReplyDeleteYes...a classic sign whose match has not been found.
ReplyDeleteBring it back!!!
Does anyone remember the Disneyland ad sign painted on and old warehouse on the southbound 5 freeway, just before the Harbor exit to the park?
