Two From June, 1972
Here are some pretty good "general interest" photos (also known as "randos") from around Disneyland.
In all of my many thousands of slides, I have surprisingly few taken in Adventureland (other than Jungle Cruise pix). Perhaps it lacked the obvious "wow" features that would inspire photographers to take out their cameras? Or maybe the fact that there is often a bottleneck where crowds can be pretty thick made people want to keep walking? Whatever the reason, I like this photo of a family near the entrance to the Jungle Cruise, with the Bazaar to our left. The lady with the yellow pants is holding a flyer, I am almost positive that I have one just like it, but can't seem to find it. Boo.

Major-
Dining on the lower level of the Hungry Bear restaurant was the best-!
Thanks, Major.
That red and yellow striped shopping bag looks interesting. Is it a Disneyland bag? And the lady in the blue floral outfit to the right of the 'bag lady' looks like she made her clothes from the von Trapp family curtains. But these are blue instead of gold, so they must come from a different bedroom. That's a sensible looking stroller in the foreground. Not like the 2-car garage monstrosities we see in more recent photos.
I don't remember seeing those slats in the Canoes before. Are they there to separate the guests into neat, equally spaced positions? Or maybe the slats are just part of their bedtime attire, to keep bears out? I love the mood of this picture.
A people-watching photo and a serene, contemplative photo. Thanks, Major.
@ JB-
"Is it a Disneyland bag?"
Indeed it is. LOOK HERE.
JB, those slats in the canoes are the seats!
Nice "general interest" photos today, Major! Thanks!
