Halloween in February!

Nope, it’s not Halloween; it’s February 20, 1960, and these scary-looking Mickey & Minnie Mouse characters were the ones that greeted guests on that Southern California morning. I don’t know about you, but these particular models have always scared the bejesus out of me. They just look really creepy.



And in case you missed the sign, NO PICNIC LUNCHES INSIDE THE PARK! Pay the admission and head over to Holidayland while you can (and please be sure to send me some photos from there!).



Two other slides from this batch; the waterfall from The Matterhorn attraction:



…and The Skate Submarine from The Submarine Voyage:



I hope you all made out like bandits last night in the candy department!

November 1959: In Living Color, Pt. 3

At the time these photos were taken, guests had a choice in Autopias; unfortunately for our photographer, he was probably just a little too big for the Junior Autopia. Can you imagine taking the time for a goofy shot like this today? You’d probably be run over by angry guests.

Scarf-Gal seems to be having a blast in her jaunty little Autopia car.



In this closeup, you can see the badge of this tie-wearing cast member who is assisting Scarf-Gal:



A beautiful blue Monorail is zooming over the Submarine Voyage lagoon. At this point, the Monorails were less than 6 months old.



The General Dynamics sponsorship for the Subs is far from subtle here!



Scarf-Gal actually looks a little seasick as she gets back to dry land from her voyage on the Skate sub.



More to come tomorrow! See more Disneyland Tomorrowland photos at my website.
