Hank and Red visit Disneyland - Part 1

Let’s take a mini vintage vacation with a happy couple to Disneyland. These Ektachrome slides are a larger format with the film area measuring 2 inches square; does anyone know what type of film this was? These slides are undated and unmarked, so we get to guess the names and dates.

Looks like “Hank” is groomed and ready to leave the Disneyland Hotel and head out to the park. Let’s review his personal check list; Vitalis Hair Tonic, prescription sunglasses with gold accents, Disneyland tickets in front pocket, gold watch, wedding ring, yellow(?) socks and cool daddy-o shoes.





Hank's beautiful red head’s name is eluding me. It must be one of those names than ends in “ie” Like Dixie or Trixie or Katie. Anyway, here she is also ready to head over to the park. Now I see why “Hank” has yellow socks, man he was one cool kat.





Well here's something you don't see everyday, in fact I don’t think I’ve ever seen the interior of the early Monorails. Can’t you just hear the "pop and sizzle" of the flash bulb? Nice timing with the Skyway Station in the background. She looks pretty happy to be there; don’t you wish we could hear the spiel from the speaker?





It’s probably not 6:00am (unless the sun rises in the west) so it appears our happy couple are going just for the evening - Disneyland After Dark.





Come back for part two tomorrow, “Hank” had a few more flash bulbs for the evening ahead.
