If you had a time machine....

[Prof. Emelius]

If you had a time machine, what era in Disneyland would you travel back to, so you could see it as it was in the past?

Early 90s when i was a little kid. Then again, the 70s would have been cool to see since i wasn't born yet

I'd want to visit in the mid 60s to see Walt and to see myself as a toddler with my family back then.

But I want to visit in the late 60s to see the changing styles of clothes & hair, and to see the new Tomorrowland.

If you want to see how much change took place in America in the 60s, contrast the best picture winners at the start and end of the decade, both set in New York City: The Apartment and Midnight Cowboy.

Definitely 1972-1982 to see the original Main Street Electrical Parade, America Sings, America on Parade, The 1977 Mouseketeers at the Tomorrowland Stage and other great stuff before I was born in 1976. Also, to witness Mickey Mouse's 50th Birthday, the revamped MSEP and Disneyland's 25th Anniversary. That era seemed to be a great time to visit DL.

What about the future? What about visiting multiple eras? Some of the eras as defined had major changes within them (such as 1997 Tomorrowland).

the 67 redue for me

I guess it depends on how much plutonium you brought with you or if you have Mr. Fusion.

For me its not what is in the past, because my first visit to DL was in the early 60's. I am 57 years old and if I had a time machine it would set to 30 to 40 years in the future.

I would go back and stop them from destroying the people mover

[wiigirl]

late 60s / early 70s for me.

[PiecesOfEight]

'72 - '82 since that's when I first went!

I chose 94-04. I know this era is highly regarded as a low point in Disneyland history but it also happens to be the era when some of my favorite Disneyland memories were made.

It was a great time at Disney, and I'd go back if I could.

Late 50's because I have seen all the others. I'd like to see the park in it's first year.
