A Day at Disneyland, September 1969: Pt. 1



This multi-part series showcases a September day at Disneyland, circa 1969. For the most part, these are in chronological order. The first one is a nice juice shot of the parking lot, now known as Disney California Adventure. Can you spot the vintage attraction posters on the pylons?



Before “Song of the South” was banned, Brer Bear and Brer Fox roamed freely through the Park.



Really digging the sunglasses, hairdo, and dress on the lady on the left!



Brer Fox - how about those shoes?



Can’t quite make out the population number.



Breakfast was over on New Orleans Street in Frontierland at Aunt Jemima’s Kitchen.



I could sure go for some of those pancakes right now, with a nice dollop of butter on top!



Apparently, the next stop was the Submarine Voyage over in Tomorrowland:



How the family looked as they left the Triton Submarine (D-305):



The Monorail Station is right nearby; how about a ride?



A closer look at Monorail Yellow and the bubble:



At this time, Tomorrowland was all Space Age and Rolly Crump!



From the Ticket Booth on the left:



…to the Rocket Jets, perched high above the PeopleMover!



Come back next week for more September 1969 images!

Submarine Voyage Rarities



Today I present 4 amazing images from April 1959 showing the construction of the Submarine Voyage attraction at Disneyland. I have no idea who the photographer was or how they got access to these areas; just enjoy!



I am still stunned to be seeing the art and statuary in its pristine state before the lagoon was filled with water.





A few months later in August, the attraction was in full force, being enjoyed by guests from all over the world.







I've said it before, and I'll repeat myself again today: early Tomorrowland had an amazing energy, with the Skyway, Matterhorn, Monorail, Submarines, and Autopia all visible in one area.



Just have to get a closer look at the Skyway bucket in this one.
