Disneyland 1961

Exciting news today, bloggers! My friend Cyn has graciously given me permission to share a couple of photos of her family visiting Disneyland in 1961! And...she said she would share more of them in the near future!


Hi Connie,
I came across some vintage photos of my family's trip to Disneyland in 1961.  You can't see very much of the park in these but I thought you might enjoy them since you are such a Disney fanatic. 

In the first photo, my mom is pushing a stroller with my little brother in it and one of my sisters is to her right.  The little boy on her left is another little brother (I have 4 brothers & 3 sisters).


The photo by the Matterhorn is more of my family.  I am the tall girl standing on my mother's right, my little sister is to my right and two younger brothers in front of us.  Another sister is on the right side of the photo with a little brother in a stroller.  My aunt and a cousin (in flowered shirt) are on my mom's left.


Thank you, Cyn!!! I told her that we all love looking at vintage Disneyland photos. The second photo especially caught my eye because just the other day, I was in this area and I noticed that there were many different styles of "street lamps"...of course I took pictures. Let's compare the lamp in this photo to the one I took the other day.

Thank you to your friend for sharing her family photos and to you Connie, for posting them. I wonder what those signs are on that post to the far right of that second pic?

Cyn's family look like they have the park to themselves in the Matterhorn pic. What a great day to be at DL!

Disneyland Trash Cans

Image
Yes Folks, trash cans! Do you know where these two beauties are? You'll find them as soon as you come through the gates at Disneyland. This should be easy to figure out - Adventureland! How about these? Hmmm??? New Orleans Square! Here's a trick question: Which two lands share the same style of trash can??? You can find these two in Frontierland. Now we're in Fantasyland. Still in Fantasyland but wait!!! The area around It's A Small World has it's very own trash can theme! Tomorrowland!!! OK all you hot shots... WHERE is this MYSTERY trash can???? Do these look familiar? They should. Critter Country has the same theme as Frontierland. I know what you're thinking...you're thinking that I've already posted these and I'm trying to trick you. HA! I have not already posted these! If you look closely, these differ slightly from the trash cans in New Orleans Square. THESE are in the area next to the Haunted ...

Getting back into the swing of things...

Image
It's been a rough couple of days... I came back to work only to be told that I will no longer have a job as of February 1st! Ya, it was a big shocker to me, too. That being said, everything else is back to "normal" and I will begin posting on a regular basis again. Below is a little video I put together taken on my last night in Florida. There is a wonderful little town called Ocala, which I dearly love. I am providing links to two sites, one here and one here , so you can have a little information about the place. OOPS! I just realized that I had posted some of the previous video earlier in the week. Oh well.. at least this one contains new footage, LOL. Peter said I tired him how SO MUCH that I can't go back to Florida for at least two years. hee hee hee

Upside down Christmas Trees?

Image
We interrupt our Disneyland visit to bring you a few pics from Tom's Farms . Ever heard of it? Unless you live in Southern California, probably not. It's a neato keen place and I really dig it. I had not been there in 10 years so it was high time I paid them a visit. They have tons of outdoor seating and it's a great place to people watch. I had a great bacon cheeseburger and then walked off my lunch by window shopping. A life sized Santa! (And he looks a bit creepy the way he's standing there. "Hey baby.." Ever seen an upside down Christmas tree? Me either! I decided to take pictures of all the trees... Look! Another upside down Christmas tree. Here's a twist - HALF of an upside down Christmas tree hung on the wall! I kinda like it. These are ginormous ornaments hanging from the ceiling. I'm already planning a return trip to Tom's Farms. I've always wanted a sleigh bed. Ain't he cute??? There is a big can...
