March 1956: More Frontierland

We are still in Frontierland, dear readers, beginning with this nice overall shot, including a view of the short-lived Miniature Horse Corral.



Next door we find the Trading Post; see anything you want to buy in the window?





Per George's request, I have added some recent views of the same area:





Tomorrow we’ll be finishing up the Frontierland portion of this series. See more vintage Frontierland photos on my regular website.

Brother Jim’s Birthday Surprise, 1965

I just recently found this batch from what I believe was my family’s first trip to Disneyland in November 1965. My 2 brothers were 6 and 8; I was stuck at home with Grandma because I wasn’t even one yet. Brother Jim was awoken in the morning to find out he was going to Disneyland. What a great surprise! The first pic is mom and my brothers in Town Square. Mom was the height of fashion in her sweater and cat-eye glasses.



Shot #2 is my dad & 2 brothers in front of the Frontierland Trading Post.
Shot #3, judging by the Welch’s Grape Juice Bars that mom and brothers are eating is probably somewhere in Fantasyland, with a little plug for the Autopia on the construction wall behind them.



The last 4 shots are from the Pack Mules over in Frontierland, with some nice views of Rainbow Ridge and the route to Nature’s Wonderland.

A Day at Disneyland 1959, part 2

Judging by these photos, it would appear that our happy couple skipped Adventureland and went straight for the Trading Post in Frontierland.
