The Lost Parents: FOUND!

Most who have visited Disneyland have seen this creative sign, calling the parents "lost" instead of the children. It helps allay a bit of the stress about losing track of the kids while at the busiest happiest place on earth. Well, the good news is that today at Daveland, thanks to this recently unearthed July 1959 image, we have finally found those flighty lost parents.



And as if that wasn't enough, here's the same shot in Genuine FauxD©!



Hope you find everything you need to today!

Lost Parents at Disneyland

As an adult, I sometimes enjoy getting lost. Often, the result is that I discover something new that I previously would not have stumbled upon. For a child though, getting lost can be devastating. Kudos to Walt and Team for adding a bit of fun to this scary situation, and somewhat lessening the horror that a child might experience when their parents are nowhere to be found...especially at a theme park where there is a sea of unknown people surrounding you. This September 1959 photo shows the original "Lost Parents" sign that hung outside of City Hall in Town Square. Those stupid parents!

And a contemporary shot from 2008 showing the Darlings from "Peter Pan," who now represent the confused parents that managed to lose their children:
