Cleaning up In Front of Peter Pan Attraction 1960

Another early morning shot of Fantasyland, this time with a little activity going on. However the worker does not appear to be wearing the normal custodian uniform of whites, Disneyland must have let the employees wear regular clothes prior to opening. Or the sweeper may be a construction or contractor employee? If you look closely you can see the mural painted on the ride entrance wall. And the joust theme is continued with sheilds and a unique shield for Peter Pan himself.

And you can still get these nice high quality tin replicas of those Fantasyland shields here:

Not to mention the Tiki Room drummers that went on sale last night!

Don't forget that Disneyland was not open 7 days a week back then. Many of your "before opening" an "uncostumed" pics are likely from Monday and Tuesday when the park was closed. If you look at the faint shadow of this worker, you can see that it's about 1:00 in the afternoon.
