Re: 1956 Video of Disneyland

OK, that gave me chills.

Winston Hibler narrating. Vesey Walker leading the band. Catching a glimpse of the Skyway with no Matterhorn. Wow.

Loved it.

Re: 1956 Video of Disneyland

These are great!

Like those before me, I am also partial to the horses with hats.

Re: 1956 Video of Disneyland

I was there for the Easter Parade and I wish they would bring that back. Hats on horses bring it back. Street Sweepers in those really cool white outfits with the tall hats and push carts, bring em back. That is what Disneyland was all about. Gosh does that footage bring back happy memeories. Thanks for sharing.

Re: 1956 Video of Disneyland

Excellent video. It's amazing that even after so much time, there's still that familiar view as you walk down Main Street.

Re: 1956 Video of Disneyland

Such a different time. Love the costumes they had then. Oh,wait, those were just regular folks and not CM's.

Did you notice that when the flag was taken down people stood up and took off his hat? Differnet times.

Re: 1956 Video of Disneyland

Great link - thanks. What video is this from and how can we see the entire thing?

The thing I got from it was the great love and respect for "America". That has been dieing a slooooooow death for sometime now I think...
