Welcome to Disneyland; want a balloon? Makes me think of the old "Laugh-In" joke, "Want a Walnetto?" But I digress. Looks like it's getting late in the day, and there's a swarm of guests at the souvenir stand, looking for just the perfect gift to take home to those poor saps that couldn't make the trek to Disneyland. The balloon seller appears to be anxiously checking his watch; is his shift over yet?



Nothing says Christmas like a big gaudy star on top of the Matterhorn. The way the photo was shot, it almost looks like a big mound of meringue on the Monsanto House of the Future.



How about a parade? If that doesn't make you start counting the days til Christmas, I don't know what will.



A group of lovely young lasses in kilts:



Followed by some cherubic military figures (note the faces of the poor cast members inside, sweating their asses off!). I do believe these figures were the inspiration for "Chucky"!



I can't believe the Spaceman and Spacegirl didn't adorn their outfits with tinsel or at least a few strands of garland. Bah humbug.



I normally get bored with Castle shots, but I love how the ornamentation of the Main Street vehicle provides an interesting frame to this photo.



Thanks to the Skyway, the last two shots are some fine ones, beginning with an overhead of the Tomorrowland Monorail Station:



And wrapping up this set with a view of the Autopia:

I may not know the year, but thanks to the patriotic bunting in Town Square, I know it must be summer! Here is my favorite Main Street transportation, The Omnibus, ready to take another load of guests down to the Castle.

Over in Tomorrowland in front of the Art Corner, The Spaceman doesn’t seem too thrilled to be posing with this trio of kiddies; maybe it’s the end of his shift.



Here we are soaring over Fantasyland in a Skyway bucket; hey guests & cast members below, watch out for spitwads from above!



And just like yesterday, today’s last stop shows one of the teepees in the Indian Village:

Awhile ago, I posted this double exposure showing the Tomorrowland Spaceman and the back of the Chicken Plantation. The neg for that shot was recently on ebay, so today I thought I’d repost it, since the clarity is so much better. On the same roll was another tragic double exposure which looks like Nightmare on Main Street. Really a shame they were meshed like that. I thought I’d also post another of the June 1958 girl who was in front of the Tiki God on Friday. Today she is standing in front of the Iowa flag pole in Tomorrowland and trying to avoid the rain. Yup...must be June gloom in Socal! EMAIL QUESTION: Today, I had an email from someone asking if Disneyland ever had a special display of the Apollo 11 Command Module. Anybody know about this?

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.
