Complementing yesterdays image is the west side (or left hand side) news stand. A similar structure still exists to this day selling souvenirs for those people leaving the park. This one is filled with some of the same items: Hats (as usual), frame tray puzzles, shopping bags, 1957 guidebooks, the posters, postcards, but also Kodak film and some oversize postcards. And this one is definitely more busy and looks like it needs to be restocked. I do like the clothing the guests are wearing and the really nice Mexico straw bag maybe purchased from the El Zocala market in Frontierland?
I just love how "back in the day" people dressed up to go to Dland. This is not exactly the attire I saw last weekend.
ReplyDeleteThere sure are a lot of yellow Keppy Kaps...is it just me, or are they considerably harder to find nowadays, compared to the white ones? Look at the postcards (jumbo and regular), stacks of guide books, etc!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite merchandise shots. Yes, the yellow Keppy Kaps are more scarce than the white ones. I actually like the shopping bag with the great castle logo and classic Disneyland script.
