More Views From Disneyland 1987
Four more photographs from my friend and his time at Disneyland in 1987. First up is a nice view of the outside of the Walt Disney Story Featuring Great Moments With Mr. Lincoln.
Next up is the Market House.
The Main Street Cinema featuring the early Mickey Mouse cartoons.
Final image that is not a sign on Main Street is this nice view of the fountain located in New Orleans Square with the Haunted Mansion in the background.
I kind of wonder why, in most vintage photos, you'll only see one or two strollers parked outside an attraction. Nowadays you might see dozens. Did babies walk more back then? ;-)
Major - Funny you mention that. My wife and I were just discussing stroller usage at Disneyland back then. We never put either of our two daughters in a stroller after the age of two. They walked or were on daddy's shoulders. Today you can see kids as old as 6 or 7 riding in strollers - with the parents pushing them around!
I'm enjoying this 87-88 series. Seems to be really focused on the signage of Disneyland.

Great pictures, Matterhorn.
