February 1961 Pictures!

[Nikki Fm™]

A while ago my mother acquired a small photo album from a garage sale that had several old photographs of Disneyland from February 18, 1961.
I thought it would be fun to share these old photos, and hopefully I can find the pictures I took of the same spots but in present time and share those with you too!

Wow...thanks for sharing

Very cool -- thanks for sharing these! The scene from inside the castle, and the waterfall on Tom Sawyer's Island make me sad, though. And that scene of Sleeping Beauty -- I don't remember it like that. Must have been the first version?

Those are awesome! I love the captions...it kind of takes you back. I could just imagine someone getting their film developed after a DL trip and then sitting down,going over them and writing in the captions.

Great photos! Thanks for sharing them with us. I love seeing the park in a different state and being able to see things that are now long gone.
