If I didn’t know that these were vintage slides, I would think that I was viewing the Submarine Voyage as it looked a few weeks ago: completely drained with a plethora of technicolor coral specimens. However, these first 2 slides are from March 1964 (back when the subs were gray, not Nemo-Yellow). The last 4 are from an undated batch, but I would assume they are from the same March 1964 era (unless this attraction was drained...

Here are a few from March 1964, starting off with a parking lot shot that includes the Disneyland Hotel and a portion of the DLand Sign. Shot two shows good ol’ Town Square with the Douglas Moonliner peeping out from behind (hey Matt, does that Horse-Drawn Trolley make you want to drive to the park today?).The last shot for today is a Tomorrowland view featuring the Astro Jets swirling around at breakneck speed! Stay tuned for...

Here’s our favorite Spaceman in Tomorrowland (undated photo), standing near the Circarama. On the right appears to be some kind of double exposure/developing mistake. Not sure what the building is, but looks like if it is Disneyland that it could be in Adventureland. Any ideas?Picture two shows the Junior Autopia, formerly located over in Fantasyland.For more vintage & current Disneyland Tomorrowland photos, visit my regular...

This attraction is probably one of the top ones on the missing list. If it had been replaced with something better, that would be one thing, but in my opinion, Big Thunder Mountain is just another glorified roller coaster. Back to the photos...the first three are from an undated batch, probably 1957/1958, and number four is from September, 1959.The last three photos are from May, 1958 (little girl, are you supposed to have that...

Here are a few from the Alice in Wonderland attraction; this posting was inspired by the Major’s recent posts. The first shot is from Oct. 1959. The other three are from February 1960, and feature two cute little blond girls in red sweaters. More pics to come of them later. And btw Major—if you find an extra Caterpillar vehicle after you get yours, let me know!For more vintage & current Disneyland Fantasyland photos, visit...

These slides probably would have never made it to this blog other than a detail I noticed last night as I was scanning them. At first, when I scanned this slide from February 1960, I dismissed the structure at the top as some kind of teepee or shelter, but when I zoomed in, I could see a steel frame. I could hazard a guess (say, New Orleans Square/Pirates Building or The Haunted Mansion), but I’ll leave that up to the experts...

Today’s entry is an uninspired medley, starting with (what I have been told) a shot of the legendary Joe Fowler in front of the Chicken of the Sea Pirate Ship. For you afficianados of this boat, you can now purchase a model on amazon.com and create your own for only $9.95! The colors Revell has selected are wrong, but with a few of my vintage pics as guides, you can’t go wrong. 2nd photo today is a rear shot of the Viewliner,...

For me, the Disneyland Holy Grail was finding the negatives for my first trip to Disneyland on December 27, 1970. Although I couldn’t believe we only took 5 pictures that day, it was still cool to see the shots. The first one is from the entrance area, I was able to pose with Mickey & Minnie. How often does that happen anymore without waiting an hour or more?!? Picture two is me with my cousins near “Small World” with one...
