 | Amazing Disneyland images from the 1979 Sears Wishbook I found this amazing site, http://www.wishbookweb.com/, and what do I find on the opening pages of the 79 book? Their contest to win a trip to Disneyland!    These old catalogs sure bring back all kinds of memories! Star Wars toys and yesterland attractions.. ahh...

| Re: Amazing Disneyland images from the 1979 Sears Wishbook The two kids in front of the castle are adorable! Though I can tell you from experience that taking photos like that is an absolute nightmare when you're that size. - Datameister, who still remembers being forced to kiss his sister for the cameras at age five. |

| Re: Amazing Disneyland images from the 1979 Sears Wishbook And the old entrance (escalators) up to the entrance level of Space Mountain. I've mentioned this to my DD's; I'll have to have them look at this thread. And Quality Inn? Gosh Sears, you couldn't come up with the Benjamin's for the Disneyland Hotel?

| Re: Amazing Disneyland images from the 1979 Sears Wishbook I like the pre-partners look of the hub, and space mountain looked a lot cooler with the escalators and the space stage than the EO/Shrunk theatre

Yeah, I thought the same thing. I haven't heard that name in a loooong time. Great "historical" find. I was graduating high school when this came out. Thanks! | |

| Incognito | Re: Amazing Disneyland images from the 1979 Sears Wishbook I noticed the Braniff plane too AND, Space Mtn. is colored a shade of brown in the logo. Did they have foresight into the way it was to be painted nearly 20 years later? Doo doo doo doo..... |

 I was Cal State Hayward in 1974-1975. I lived in Carlos Bee Hall on the hill, the dorms up there. I heard they were calling Cal State Hayward something else now...We are now in Denver, so I have not kept up with the east bay although I lived there for 23 yrs, til I moved and changed schools to Sonoma State University. | |
