This one day series takes us back to September 1961, before the 60’s got mod and the guests at the park still looked like they belonged in the 50’s. The first three shots are all from the Autopia area; after looking at shot #3, I know why this Dwarf became Grumpy!





It’s blurry, but I do love seeing shots of the not-so-often photographed Yellow Monorail, especially with the cool bubble viewing area featured!



Back when it had holes in it for the Skyway, the Matterhorn served as the transitional bridge between Fantasyland and Tomorrowland.



This little girl is ready for her Teacup ride!



This little boy is determined to get every little kernel of popcorn out of that box...or else he’s looking for a hidden toy surprise (wrong snack, kid!)

We come to the end of the series today, where we still find ourselves in Fantasyland. Shot #1 is at the Alice attraction. Shot #2 shows Alice’s other attraction, the Mad Teacups (with Mr. Toad and The Skyway providing a nice supporting cast!). Although Alice wasn’t a favorite movie of Walt’s, apparently he thought she was perfect for the park.



Here we have Dumbo in glorious widescreen, enhanced for 16x9!! Be sure to scroll all the way to the left, readers.



And one more of Dumbo for all you Dumbo fanatics:



I am guessing that this shot was taken facing the Midget & Junior Autopias. And btw: many thanks to yesterday’s expert panel on guessing where the landscaping was. CoxPilot - your answer sounded the most plausible!



Poor Monstro; he obviously hasn’t heard of Crest Whitening Strips.

This shot of Fantasyland also provides a nice close-up of the Mickey Mouse Theater area/marquee.
