This is a great shot of the Mark Twain (make sure you scroll all the way to the right as this is a wide one!) that is unfortunately undated. However, judging by the barren look of the banks, it is probably from the first few years of the park. I am very happy that the MT is undergoing an extensive repair/restoration. It is nice to see this old gem taken care of. The second shot for today is an overhead of the Chicken of the Sea Pirate Ship Restaurant from August 1959.



And for James, here are two shots from last year’s Candlelight Processional. Judging by the sold out crowds, I don’t think there was much concern about having the annual Christian-themed show and whether it was “pc” or not.

Here’s a good shot of the huge lighted star that used to stand on top of the Matterhorn at Christmas. This slide is from December, 1968. Apparently this tradition was stopped due to the energy crisis/costs during the 1970’s. For more vintage & current Matterhorn photos, visit my regular website.

It was definitely the end of an era last Saturday with the passing of Hawaiian Legend Don Ho. When I went to Hawaii over a year ago, seeing the Don Ho show in Waikiki was on the top of the list of things to do. Although he looked frail, once he started singing, the years rolled back and the legend was young again. So, in honor of Don, today’s post is “Hawaiian” Themed (please note the use of quotes). First up are pictures from Disney World, Summer 1978, showing the Polynesian Village Resort, as well as the Luau at Luau Cove (showing Minnie shaking her grass skirt).
