First up its Disneyland Vacationland – Summer 1976. This is a 30 page edition with lots of fun stuff. As a bonus, there must be an ad from every Southern California "place to go"; Magic Mountain, Seaworld, San Diego Wild Animal Park, Busch Gardens (Van Nuys!), The NBC Tour, Universal Studios Tour, Queen Mary Tour, Movieland Was Museum, Lion Country Safari and more (Such as; Movie World, Alligator Farm, Knott’s). Oh and Disneyland too!
Disneyland Vacationland Summer 1976 – 68mb
A mint little Disneyland Guidebook from the Spring of 1976. The paper is extra nice on this one, bright white and the colors look super. This guide is effective 2-18-76 to 6-18-76 and is “subject to change without notice”. I actually did post this back in February but I totally forgot about it and I even rescanned it for this post! Oh well, it came out better this time.
Disneyland Guide Book Spring 1976 – 10mb
From my space Mountain Anniversary post back in May (link) here is the complete Walt Disney World Vacationland Spring 1975 magazine. Better late than never…. There are a total of 6 two-page layouts in this edition; therefore I scanned the entire issue as “two pages per scan”. I am not sure if I like this format (other than it does nicely showcase the 6 two-page layouts) let me know what you think.
Walt Disneyworld Vacationland Spring 1975 – 82mb
This is one of the 6 “two-page” layouts from the WDW Vacationland, it just doesn’t seem right to break something this nice into two parts. Will Tomorrowland look like this when I go next month? I hope so….
Now for some current stuff. I was lucky enough to spend a couple of hours at the park on Thursday and boy was it beautiful. I did have an annual pass preview ticket to Toy Story Mania, and I was going to go ride it, but…. I was drawn to Disneyland like a moth to a light. I arrived at 11am and I noticed almost zero lines to get into Disneyland, DCA “CYA”! When Disneyland has no lines in JUNE - I go for it! I'll catch Toy Story another time.
First sight I see after visiting the Welcome Plaque and Flag pole is this; a fun bunch on the fire engine! Alice, I told you not to blink when I take your picture!
The “June Gloom” has just cleared and it was polarizing outside, my camera didn’t know what to do with the beautiful flowers. It was so bright I could barely see them with my sunglass off.
This man driving the fire engine was not the same guy that was driving Alice and her buddies around just a few moments earlier.
Some glassy water on the moat, where is my Jetski when I need it!
Hey lets fan some rumors…. These look like “construction walls” to me and it’s right at the exit to the Sleeping Beauty Castle Walk-thru attraction. I have heard rumors that it might be coming back. Isn’t there a statue of something there also? Maybe they are just cleaning up the area, yeah, that’s it….
Ok, if you haven’t figured out by now, I am obsessed with the little ticket booth at the Casey Jr. Circus Train attraction. First, it’s a TICKET BOOTH, second it’s a 1955 original (although it has been moved about 20 feet) and last, it’s so CUTE! Due to its shady location and the queue line around it, it’s hard to get good photos of it, but I will keep trying. Someday I will get the nerve to ask to take a photo of the inside.
The same someday that I get my nerve up I am also walking right up this pathway to the Skyway Chalet. I am going to do it; it’s just a matter of when. There are NO signs that say “keep out”, I’m tall and can simply walk right over that silly little chain without even touching it. I have no idea what I will do once I get up there besides snap pictures like crazy!
One of my favorite hidden areas of the park.
The mighty and majestic Matterhorn. I rode the “Tomorrowland” side, what fun!
Upon entering the parking lot, I was given this. It’s was going to be a Grad Nite and the park would be closing early.
This is a perfect way to kick off “Grad Nite Week” here on the blog. Yes ladies and gentlemen, starting tomorrow its Grad Nite all week. We’ll cover several different years of tickets and programs, and a few other fun things too.
