Great pics D32!

I can't believe how different (and creepy) Disneyland was in the beginning. The clown looks like something out of a nightmare and Mickey Mouse was female, unbelievable!

It would be so much fun if I could go back in time and go to Disneyland during the 50's. Plus it only cost $1.65 to eat a full Steak meal at Red Wagon Restaurant.

I just saw a documentary on the Phantom Boats. What a colossal mistake! They kept overheating and at first they aloud people to take them out on their own. So they went for long joy rides where they refused to come back.
