Vintage Disneyland, Circa November 1971



Welcome to November 1971 at Disneyland…or at least according to the date stamps on these images from different batches vintage slides! First up is the Disneyland Hotel. In the detailed view, you can see what appears to be the Lido Fashions shop and the sign at right for the Disneyland Hotel Coral Pool.



Below is an image of the Marina, which debuted in 1970.



I have no idea what that submarine/tank thing was for. Anyone?



Because I’m nosey, I had to peer into the rooms.



Inside the Park, the Snow White waterfall is working just fine.



You can just see the tip of Dopey’s fishing pole:



The waterfall is also working at the Matterhorn:



Attraction lines are apparently nothing new at Disneyland:



Another image of the Matterhorn:



Zooming in you can see two rock climbers:



Over at the Captain Hook’s Pirate Ship Restaurant (formerly known as Chicken of the Sea):



Captain Hook has had a bad day.



A closeup of the sign:



This image of the Main Street Train Station tips me off that this slide at least is most likely not from November, but was probably shot in July, due to the patriotic bunting on the lamppost.



Final one for today shows the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse; not a view you often see.

Disneyland June 1972 Photos, Pt. 1



For this short June 1972 series, we'll need to check into the Disneyland Hotel before we can enjoy The Happiest Place on Earth. If this photo had been taken in 2012, these two little girls would be standing near the ESPN Zone and Rainforest Cafe.

Instead of a 1950's retro-themed pool, visitors to the Disneyland Hotel in June 1972 would have had access to this Marina and pedal boat ride area.



Hard to believe this is the same area, especially without a tower facing this view.



But enough about our lodging; let's board a Skyway bucket and zoom over to Fantasyland!



See you there tomorrow!
