When entering Fantasyland, most people walk dead-center through the Sleeping Beauty Castle and encounter the vista of all that Walt intended guests to see. However, there were/are two side entrances that can give guests that feeling of being special, exploring the paths less traveled. This vintage 1950’s image shows a guest who chose to enter Fantasyland via the tunnel on the left. Zooming in, you can see Merlin’s Magic Shop as well as the signage for the other side exit/entrance into Fantasyland.
And speaking of castles…here’s a 1956 shot of the Sleeping Beauty Castle. Ho hum, right?
Zooming in, you can see Robin Hood fraternizing with the guests:
Some previously posted shots of Robin and Will Scarlet:
I hope you have an amazing weekend and remember to explore the roads less traveled!

Neato, you don't see the Robin Hood guys much. Hard to believe it took almost 2 decades before any Robin Hood project would come to fruition.
I love the mother and daughter in the last picture wearing my favorite paper souvenir hats. I shall always regret that the one picture I have of myself in front of the Anaheim castle is also one of the least flattering photos of me ever taken.
dig their tights
Melissa - I bet you still look adorable in the photo!
