Entrance, 1957

I never get tired of these vintage photos showing Disneyland's entrance, along with a heap of fabulous attraction posters! I never had an Art Corner, but I do have the others. Or have I told you that already? "Only twenty times, Major Pepperidge". Meanwhile, what is going on to the right? Is that man being escorted from the park by three security guards? Or did a group of airline pilots decide to check out this place that they'd heard so much about?


Each one of these Storybook Land boats appears to be manned by... well, men. I insist on an adorable young woman with white knee socks (love those knee socks!).

Maybe he was caught trying to sneak one of those attraction posters out of the park. ; )

Those guys are bus drivers from the many tour busses that came to the Park. I always thought it was cool that they wore pilot style uniforms.

I want to pretend they are pilots... I love the framing of the Storybook Land shot, it looks like Monstro is ready to gobble up all those boats one after another!
