Housecleaning - - Stuff from July 1961

I bought a large lot of slides from July 1961 and passed the savings on to YOU! Whatever that means. Anyway, it's time to finally post some scans that have been sitting on my hard drive for a long time. They aren't that exciting, but by golly, there are three of them.

Here's a nice picture of the Great Moments With Mr. Whale ride, in which you are shrunk to the size of a sardine and journey through the digestive system of a giant cetacean, only to finally emerge... well, you know. The Imagineers paid particular attention to getting the smells right, which really bring the thing to life. Thar she blows!


The Snow White Grotto bears no relation to Hugh Hefner's famous grotto at the Playboy mansion, but that doesn't stop me from hanging out at Snow White's grotto dressed in pajamas. It's a groovy, swingin' scene!


I'm sure these flags (one for each of the 57 states) probably caused a huge bottleneck at the entrance to Tomorrowland back in the day. Forget that rocket, I wanna look at the flags! And since my family hails from West Dakota, we alway looked for our state flag.
