While searching around for my old Disneyland photos, Victoria and I came across some of her photos from a trip in 1973. I thought you'd enjoy them:
The Teacups in "old" Fantasyland
Note that most of the cups have no decoration.
The Skyway through The Matterhorn
More Teacups
Donald on Main Street

Thanks Tom...
I think I threw up in that green one when I was 7.
Dream big. Do what you love.
Those are in great shape!
Well, light travels from the sun. Then, bounces off of our planet, and back into our eyes so we can perceive color. My body can intercept that light and dance around on it!

Great pics Tom, Are you going to the Park for the REAL anniversary weekend? Because if you are, I want to shake your hand.
Thank you! I don't know if we'll make it to the park July 17th or not. I'd like to, though. As it gets closer I'll know better. Oh....the crowds!Great pics Tom, Are you going to the Park for the REAL anniversary weekend? Because if you are, I want to shake your hand.

Daaaaayyyummm.....
Those are like mirrors of my first memories of that place. I must get my aunt to scan all the pics she took of my first visit there. Must have been '74 or '75.
Many MANY thanks for sharing those Tom. If you come across any more, please put em up!

It must be 1973!
Thanks Tom. I love pics of the old Fantasyland. Even though I think the new Fantasyland is prettier, there's just something really "Disney" about the old one!

Just because it's gone doesn't mean I changed my mind!
I agree about it being more Disney... it's so colorful! It looks like someone took the Sleeping Beauty tapestry theme and applied it to the whole land. It really looks like Toon Town was SUPPOSED to feel like. The European half of FL is based on real things, but this is pure three-dimensional Fantasy. The keyword really is Lush....I love pics of the old Fantasyland. Even though I think the new Fantasyland is prettier, there's just something really "Disney" about the old one!
And of course, seeing my beloved Submarine Voyage sign in that third picture just fills me with bittersweet joy.
See, George Lucas? I'm not the only one! [<-- i.e. this is not my site]
