Tomorrowland, Summer 1962

Today, experience a brief potpourri from the Summer of 1962! In this July 1962 image, Spaceman John Glenn (not the one of NASA fame!) poses with two happy little gents outside of the Dutch Boy Paint Color Gallery.



By this time, the TWA Moonliner attraction had been re-branded/sponsored by Douglas Aircraft Company.



Want to see those round balls up close? Of course you do…

Before They Were President, Pt. 2: JFK at Disneyland

Before he was President, John F. Kennedy was seen on the steps of City Hall in Town Square at Disneyland. From the publicity blurb that accompanied this 1980 print:

JFK VISITS DISNEYLAND—Two of the many notable persons who have visited Disneyland over the years were then-Senator John F. Kennedy and President Sekou Toure of Guinea. Kennedy and Toure toured the Magic Kingdom during October, 1959. The Park is commemorating its July 17 silver anniversary with many special events during 1980.

Brother Ted also made it to Disneyland & Town Square:



As did Robert, seen here riding the Matterhorn with astronaut John Glenn, June 2, 1968:
