Rivers of America 1970

One of my favorite rides is the relaxing cruise aboard the Mark Twain on the Rivers of America. The first image captures the majestic steam boat coming into dock. I like the color of this slide and the early morning feel as well as the blankness in the background.

Of course on the trip you will see the old flour mill with the water wheel and grinder (this photo is taken from New Orleans Square.)

If you are quick enough, you may be able to snap a picture of the friendly Indian Village. (This one is a little blurry so I think the camera moved.)

Or you can see other guests enjoying the pontoon bridge on Tom Sawyers Island. Notice the amount of tree growth on the island. Now this section is the site for some interactive Pirate play.

    I love the color of these too; early 70’s at Disneyland seemed so cozy, lazy and lived in… Oh how I wish the Mill and surrounding area was still like it appears in your second photo. Thanks for these 1970 Gems…

    I'm not that crazy about getting up early, but one of my favorite times of day is when it is still cool and quiet and the crowds haven't emerged yet. So that Mark Twain photo is great!
