Bundled Up (April 13, 1965)

On a nice Tuesday, a family with a cute daughter visited Disneyland. It was a little chilly (48 degrees was the low, but a high of 66 degrees with a trace of precipitation.) Attendance was 30,165 for the day, although the park looks a little less crowded than that. I am sure the Dapper Day group will love these pictures with dad dressed in a very nice and dapper outfit as well as mom and daughter.

A nice view of the Main Street station.

Christmas at Disneyland 1967

Two family pictures from 1967 at the Disneyland Christmas Tree on Main Street. I really like the hat on the young boy in the first picture.

Early 56 Trip- Final Images

The final four images from the 1955 (or early 1956) trip. The photographers favorite attraction was the Mark Twain. First up are three images of the ship navigating the waters of the Rivers of America. Some nice background elements, such as the train speeding by in one image and Fowler's Harbor in another image.

My favorite shot of this photographers obsession with the Mark Twain is this abstract picture of the paddle wheel.

2000th Post

Well I have reached a milestone in this blog, this is my 2000th post. My first post was 6 years and 1 day ago, with a post showing the balloon vendor in Fantasyland dressed as a clown.

I would not have reached this milestone without the support of my fellow bloggers, especially Dan from A Sampler of Things, as well as Dave from Daveland, David from Gorillas Don't Blog, Tim from Vintage Disneyland Tickets, Jed from Vintage Disneyland Goodies, Jason from Disneyland Nomenclature, Kevin from Kevin Kidney and all my readers who have posted comments, suggested corrections, or just read and enjoyed my posts. Here are some of my favorite items I have posted over the years:

I will continue this celebration tomorrow with more of my favorite images. Thanks once again for all the support I have received over the years and posts, it is what keeps me going.
