Story Book and Tomorrowland 1959

First up is a nice shot of Casey Junior steaming through Story Book. In the background is the lovely Cinderella Castle.

A rarely seen view of Pinocchio's village with the three Old Mills in the background.

Next up is Tomorrowland with the exciting, thrilling and dangerous Motor Boat Cruise. I hope the riders are being careful and prepared.

The last image is of course my favorite, an early picture of the Matterhorn. A lucky shot as two bobsleds can be seen. The bobsleds are wonderfully colored rather than the boring white the bobsleds are painted today.

  1. Great shots, especially that Matterhorn shot! I wonder if that was just a lucky click of the shutter or if the photographer snapped several trying to catch that moment?

  2. What a treat to see Storybook Land and from such great vistas, thank you!

    I'll be back to study these more closely.

    I rode that dangerous motorboat ride in my misspent youth, I credit it with the precursors of my gray hairs.

    Two bobsleds and no waterfall? Another California drought...

  3. Photo #2 is fantastic - I've never seen a picture taken from that vantage point!
