Disneyland fans, come here for a sec'
Disneyland vintage slideshow
Oh my gosh, I found this slide show of old pics from Disneyland in the 1950's & 60's!   Can I just tell you that I LITERALLY got goose bumps seeing the "World Premiere of the Enchanted Tiki Room" banner on Main Street (photo #6) . Not to mention what I do right now to travel back in time for just ONE DAY to see Count Basie perform in DL, like the marquee was advertising in picture number 2.Oh my gosh, and how about that cutie in his white tee & slim jeans in pic #4, & those sharp skipper uniforms in photo 15. I LOVE IT, TOTALLY! Pic #19 has to be my favorite. That poor kid with the huge bandage on his knee & those glasses.  Also, seeing the mermaids on the rocks in the sumarine voyage ride pic & the old skyway buckets just made my heart MELT. I was born in the wrong era, seriously.

Never mind the kid's bandage. Did you check out his outfit? Paisley shorts and a striped shirt. Quite the look! Is that supposed to be Alice and the White Rabbit? It looks more like a waitress and the Easter Bunny.

Re: Disneyland fans, come here for a sec'
I like #9 and the white hat and sunglasses. Classically classy. And dad looks cool in his baggy polyesters.
The boy in the white tee and skinny jeans reminds me of my skinny son. I have to agree Wish....I too am in the wrong era. |

That's EXACTLY what I thought too!!It's funny to think how these days, people would probably pass by a pair like that without even thinking twice. They'd just assume they were very "unique" park guests!
