Monday in Fantasyland

After a few days of my site being down due to the incompetence of my webhost (and ever-changing google rules), we can finally journey back to March 1958 at Disneyland. While our vintage photographer probably won’t win any awards for composition, I’m darn glad he/she snapped this one! Besides the Skyway pylon, you can see the ticket booth (remember tickets?) and the Mickey Mouse Club Theater (now Pinocchio’s Daring Adventure).



A closer (and lightened) view inside of the entryway:



This one from July 10, 1957 pulls back (and up), giving us a broader view of Fantasyland. So far back that you can see the TWA Moonliner in Tomorrowland.



Want to buy a hat?



Last one for today is from August 1958, with Dumbo on the right and Skyway soaring overhead:



Thanks for your patience while my site was down!

80s Flashback: Mr. Toad

It's back to the glorious 1980's again with this trio of exterior shots for Mr. Toad's Wild Ride attraction. Actually...this is a quartet of consecutive shots. The first two shots on the strip of negatives I digitally combined to give more of a panoramic view. Note the Skyway pylon on the left side of the shot.

Two contemporary shots for comparison's sake:





Returning to the 80's; love that weathervane!



...and it's still there:



One more 80's shot for today:



Closing out the post with a favorite contemporary night shot of the attraction exterior:
