We’ve covered Main Street and Fantasyland, now it’s time to see the rest of the Park circa July/August 1955 in glorious Faux©D! This view of Adventureland was taken at the entrance, looking inside the themed area. As always, the 3D version and the stitched panorama below. That little boy was thirsty!
A closeup of the Tiki's Tropical Imports souvenir stand:
A shot of the stand and its wares from March 1956:
A view of one of the Bull Elephants from the Jungle Cruise attraction:
Not as exciting without the 3D effect!
The Indian Village was once located near Adventureland, in the approximate spot that Indiana Jones would eventually take over:
Below is the New Orleans Street area of Frontierland, which now houses the River Belle Terrace Restaurant.
This location housed Casa de Fritas (opening August 11, 1955) until it moved in 1957 and was replaced by the Silver Banjo BBQ. Initially, I thought the singing group was the Gonzales Trio (with a fourth member added in for good measure), but let’s just say I’m not 100% sure on that!
The Mark Twain riverboat:
It is so jarring to see autos inside the Park in many of these early shots taken during the first few months of operation:
Last one shows the entry area to Tomorrowland, featuring tile from the Clock of the World at left and the atomic symbol on the Monsanto Hall of Chemistry at right:
And that’s all, folks! I hope you enjoyed this FauxD© look at early Disneyland!
