Dumbo and Carnation



It’s not TGIF(riday), but TGIF(eather) today. This previously unpublished shot shows the Dumbo Flying Elephants attraction at Disneyland. Although undated, the lack of landscaping at the Casey Jr. attraction in the background tells us it’s most likely 1955/1956. Even more interesting is the hat/headband of the little girl on the lower right, which appears to be a feathered Indian headdress from Carnation. It must have been a bonus from one of the sponsored restaurants at the park that served Carnation products.

That headdress is a beauty. It also appears directly above that gal, is a woman in a pleated dress sporting a 'fur stole wrap'-! Only the best-dressed for Disneyland.
