Disneyland Time Capsule: August 1958, Pt. 3
A short visit to Fantasyland today, beginning with a group shot in front of the Chicken of the Sea Pirate Ship Restaurant. At this point in time, Skull Rock was still but a glimmer in Walt’s eye. Stepping back a bit for shot #2, we also see Dumbo’s Flying Elephants and the Casey Junior Ticket Booth...oh yeah, and that thing overhead called the Skyway.
Last one for today is a little dark, but you can still kind of see the Disneyland Marching Band playing on the Carrousel; the little girl is mainly interested in her popcorn, but she does manage to turn and take a quick glimpse at the source of the music behind her.
That’s it for today. See more vintage & current Fantasyland. photos at my regular website.
“Sleeping Beauty,” the Platinum Edition, is about to hit the streets, and boy is it a beauty (pun intended)! The section of extras on the Disneyland Sleeping Beauty Castle Diorama is not to be missed.
I have one of those popcorn boxes!
ReplyDeleteI sure like the feel of this series, those mug shots in the first photo are classic, there's a "Mabel" and "Gladys" in there for sure.
ReplyDeleteThat second shot sure looks fun.
Casey's ticket booth too! Thanks!!!
