I Like Disneyland, October 1958



These two adorable tots are enjoying a day at Disneyland, circa October 1958, posing next to Walt's special Autopia vehicle. Zooming in, you can see their "I Like Disneyland" buttons.





I BELIEVE this car at the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco is the same one shown in the previous shots.





The Alice in Wonderland attraction had opened four months previous to these shots being taken, and it was being promoted all over Tomorrowland.



Alice is sandwiched between Kansas and Oregon at the Tomorrowland entrance, with the Monsanto House of the Future in the background:

May 18, 1958



It may not be a significant day to you, but for this group of guests, it sure was a day of fun and smiles. In shot #1, this guest is so awed to be standing in front of Walt's personal Autopia car that he takes his hat off in respect. In the background, you can see the entrance to the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea movie prop exhibit.

In shot #2, she doesn't give a hoot about cars and motors; she just wants to show off the still very young landscaping.



Over at the Chicken of the Sea Pirate Ship, you can almost reach out and grab this man’s guide book!



Last stop for today is one of the teepees in the Indian Village with Fort Wilderness in the background:
