And to think it all started six years ago when I posted this photo of a clown promoting the Disneyland Circus.
My second post featured this December 26, 1955 image. Quaint as they may be, I love the primitive looking Christmas decorations strewn across Main Street U.S.A.
Zooming in, you can see the guests enjoying all the sites on Main Street. And wow...not a slob in the bunch.

Thanks for sharing this journey with me. I have no idea if I can continue another 6 years on this, or whether there will be changes, but I can say that I surely appreciate all of the fun and opportunities that this blog has presented to me.
See more vintage & current Disneyland photos at my Disneyland website.

ReplyDeleteHappy 6th Dave. all that you have done these past years is very much appreciated. Looking forward to many more, Richard.
ReplyDeleteDave. Your blog is a daily thing for me ever since you contacted me regarding the Flight Circle. at that time, I went back and read every post to catch up, and haven't stopped reading since.
ReplyDeleteYou deserve the Oscar for "body of work" on this one, and MANY people would miss it greatly if it went away.
Don't give up, you won't regret it.
