This is annoying. I was talking about this same photo a month or so ago.

With my memory I can`t say for certain. I think we may have said it was in Fland, where the meet n greet / grotto is today. I think.

I am almost positive that it was you who originally answered the question, unfortunately I also forgot the answer. I am not sure if it was the grotto area because wouldn't that have been in the way of the 20,000 area. I am not sure because my memory of that layout is fuzzy. Anyway, here is another one for your expertise. I know that this is Fantasyland but I cannot place where. I am not sure what that is in the back. It just seems so barren that I have no idea of the exact area that I am looking at.

It looks as-if the photo is facing the tea cups and so the queue for 20k would be behind it and Mr Toad would be off just a bit to the right. I think I remember that information booth being in that exact location.

As for the previous old photo I am quite sure that is the old entertainment stage that was near Dumbo and often had musical acts, characters, etc...

Or wait maybe I have the photo reversed and you are looking at the same stage area... Hmm... I was not much older than the child in the photo at the same time so maybe my memory is a bit off. Time to start pulling old photos I guess, lol...

I think that might be it. I do not think that is the teacups because that covered circular thing looks empty. I also think the teacups did not have a roof yet. I also want to say that the booth was a ticket booth. I am also not sure because I believe that I was inside the womb on this trip:lol: I am pretty sure on that because my sister appears to be no older than four or five. If I had to date it I would say 1973.

This pic has too much of a Victorian feel fir Fland. The stage is decorated very similar to the Crystal Palace and Main St. Was there ever a stage in that area?

Not sure. However, I cannot think of any area over there that could fit a stage that size. I was actually trying to see if I could get a clue by seeing the costumes of the CM's to the right.

I just had to make it where we could see it.

Possibly Tommorrowland. In 1971 there was hardly anything there. That could explain the massive expanse of asphalt. :shrug:

Thanks. I am not sure how you did that but feel free to put this one by its side. This might help us out a bit. It is a closer image of that background. It is probably a few seconds later since my Sister has the same outfit on.

I think all three of these pictures are from the same area. I think that tent looking thing is the stage from the first one. They do have the same chairs.
