Janet Leigh at the Red Wagon Inn



More from Janet Leigh's 1962 visit to Disneyland with daughters Kelly and Jamie Lee Curtis. This time we see them dining at the Red Wagon Inn, which became the Plaza Inn a few years later.



I really like these informal shots that show her interacting with her daughters.



The Dapper Dans appeared to entertain the gang, and little Kelly got to wear one of their Bowler hats.



For all you art fans that might be interested in seeing the still-life painting on the wall, here's a detailed view:



I am sure Kelly is teasing her sister for not getting to wear a hat!



To top the whole thing off, they also got a visit from Mickey Mouse himself:



Here's a look at the placemat/menu that's on the table:





Poor Mickey; I can only imagine how many times a day this happens to him:

Vintage Disneyland: The Harry Pollack Collection Pt. 2



Today's undated 1950s images taken by Harry Pollack showcase Central Plaza at Disneyland. The first one shows the Organ Grinder and his monkey, who seem to have been a short-lived feature at the Park. The Davy Crockett coonskin hat on the monkey is a great little Disney touch! Next we have a lovely lady posing in front of the Red Wagon Inn Restaurant, which today is better known as The Plaza Inn.



Note the weather vane, featuring (of course!) a red wagon.



It appears that this gal's skirt has the Mark Twain on it - in pink no less!



Here's another previously unpublished shot of the Red Wagon from October 16, 1956. This one is not part of the Harry Pollack collection.



Another detailed view of the weathervane:
