Disneyland Population, Part 2

The “population” (aka guest count) at Disneyland hit 18,000,000 in October 1959 (as seen in my previous post). The number for March 1960 on the Main Street Train station was still the same:



Even as late as July 1960 in this FABULOUS shot taken by a vintage photographer after my own heart. Oh, the details! 



One month later in August 1960, the number jumped to 22,000,000, as seen in this shot that features Walt Disney himself.



This photo op was to commemorate the 10 millionth passenger on the Disneyland Railroad.



Still at 22,000,000 in October 1960:





Another leap of 4,000,000 can be seen in June 1961:





Still holding tight in the new year, January 1962:



…and how about those ticket prices! Keep in mind that this was before one price allowed you to ride all the attractions, and that ticket books were necessary.



Kowabunga! In May 1962, the population umber hit 30,000,000:





From October 1962:



My photos in between are too blurry to discern the number, but this crystal clear shot from January 1964 shows a leap to 33,000,000:





The 10th anniversary of Disneyland saw the number leap to 46,000,000 as seen in this April 1965 genuine FauxD© photo:





Another jump by September 1965 to 50,000,000



A special sign hung over the regular marquee to commemorate the grand occasion, along with boxes of balloons along the tracks.



Another great detail shot from October 1966:



Holding tight as of December 1967:





Another large jump, circa January 1968 as the number hits 65,000000:



Nothing Goofy about these numbers!



My last image for the 1960s is from September 1969, showing the number to be 75,000,000:
