1974 Was Groovy

1974 was an interesting year, not quite the 1960's but not yet the Disco era. The year was filled with music from many areas, and fashion had not gone to the outrageous designs of the Disco era. 1974 at Disneyland meant the opening of America Sings and Herbie the Love Bug promotions. Unfortunately no images from either event in this group of slides. The first image is of a little girl and her grandmother at the forecourt of Sleeping Beauty Castle.

This image is one of those photographs that should have been used as a how not to frame an image. Granddad has grown a Restroom sign on his head.

Here the little girl poses with Mickey. Compare this view to earlier shots of the characters and you can see that as more people went to Disneyland, the characters became more popular.

Finally a shot of the Main Gate ticket booth. Just check out the prices for admission. Oh and the fashion on the young lady. Also notice that child leashes are not a new invention.
