The Mickey Clock, 1970

Here’s a new one for me; I had never seen this clock face for the Sleeping Beauty Castle heralding in the new year, which happened to be 1970 in this image.



Only eleven months later I’d be making my very first trip to Disneyland!

New Year's at Disneyland, January 1968

This banner draped across the entrance of the castle is a first for my collection. Shot circa January 1968, this colorful image was an exception to the rule, as I rarely buy shots with the castle anymore.

And a sneak peak of what Times Square will look like tonight, thanks to my visit to NYC last April when I stumbled upon the filming of the movie "New Year's Eve":



Here's to wishing all of my readers a fun-filled celebration as we remember 2011 and look forward to 2012! Thanks for another year of fun, memories, and informative commentaries. Happy New Year!
