Jungle Book in Adventureland

It's October 1968 and Mowgli from "The Jungle Book" is visiting Adventureland with his elephant.

Vintage Disneyland fanatics will be even more interested to see the Tahitian Terrace signage in the background:

More Mardi Gras World and Disney

Thanks to faithful Daveland reader Bryan, I realized that there is yet another statue at the Disneyland Resort whose origins are most likely Blaine Kern's Mardi Gras World in New Orleans. Check out the statue I photographed there a few weeks ago and the one below from Downtown Disney:



Throughout the warehouse I noticed a number of other more obvious Disney characters.



Zooming in you can see the Three Caballeros (next to Salvador Dali, no less!):



Look closely at this random group of sculpts…



and you'll see Mowgli from "The Jungle Book," front and center:



The Rescuers, from the 1977 animated film:

700TH POST! July 17, 1968: 13th Anniversary, Pt. 2

Don’t ask me how I got to 700; it’s all a blur to me! But a happy one, that’s for sure. Sometimes this blog feels like Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, careening out of control, but for the most part, it’s been an awesome journey with many cool Disney peeps along the way. What better way to celebrate my 700th post than one that features a parade! Here we go, with a number of colorful images from Town Square. Enjoy!
