This multi-part series showcases a September day at Disneyland, circa 1969. For the most part, these are in chronological order. The first one is a nice juice shot of the parking lot, now known as Disney California Adventure. Can you spot the vintage attraction posters on the pylons?
Before “Song of the South” was banned, Brer Bear and Brer Fox roamed freely through the Park.
Really digging the sunglasses, hairdo, and dress on the lady on the left!
Brer Fox - how about those shoes?
Can’t quite make out the population number.
Breakfast was over on New Orleans Street in Frontierland at Aunt Jemima’s Kitchen.
I could sure go for some of those pancakes right now, with a nice dollop of butter on top!
Apparently, the next stop was the Submarine Voyage over in Tomorrowland:
How the family looked as they left the Triton Submarine (D-305):
The Monorail Station is right nearby; how about a ride?
A closer look at Monorail Yellow and the bubble:
At this time, Tomorrowland was all Space Age and Rolly Crump!
From the Ticket Booth on the left:
…to the Rocket Jets, perched high above the PeopleMover!
Come back next week for more September 1969 images!

I am now convinced that I will spend every day of my retirement just going through some of the pictures on your gallery. Things like these. I don't want to see the park anymore I just want to remember like it was. All the people fit next to each other, no overlapping into the seats, no stroller armies, no families fist fighting with other families, Etc. It's almost like the world knew how to get along with each other for a few decades
ReplyDeleteDave, pic #1 must be a later shot as they must be in the monorail heading towards the hotel due the elevation of the shot. Darryl
ReplyDeleteBryan - Step away from the computer…but yes, I get it. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteDarryl - You could be right, but hard to argue with a date stamp!
Well put Bryan. I'm semi retired and had the good fortune of starting my teenage years working as a CM in the Park back in 1969. Tomorrowland was squeaky-clean new back then. And the experience was far superior to that of today in my opinion. KS
