Randos
I have a pair of interesting RANDOS for you, both happen to be medium-format ("127" 40mm X 40mm) slides, which is always nice. Both are undated.
First up is this view taken by Dad as the family unloads kids, strollers, and whatever else they need before heading to the nearest tram pickup area (the relative nearness of the Grand Hotel shows that they were quite a ways from the ticket booths). Big brother is plenty old enough to walk, but little sis needs a stroller. I think Mom has a towel over her shoulder, perhaps to drape over the stroller in case sis needs a nap.
From a different photographer comes this photo taken right near the Yacht Bar (out of frame to our left), with all of the usual features in that area, we know them well. A line of guests manages to wait in the shade of the Monorail beamway, and they can pass the time watching the Subs come and go in the beautiful tropical lagoon. A fellow in the distance waves to the photographer; we see you!

Little sis is about to leap out of that stroller, and big brother has an arrow stuck in his head. I hope they had a fun day at Disneyland!
Thanks, Major.
Major-
Listen, kid - just because Mom dressed you doesn't mean you can't put your foot down when she forces you out-the-door wearing stripes and plaids-!
Thanks, Major.
I think little sis is making a break for it! Looks like she's climbing out the stroller to join her big brother, and walk the mile or two to the ticket booths. Speaking of big brother... stripes and plaids? It actually looks good.
I wonder if the guy drawing attention to himself was part of the photographer's group? Or maybe he's a complete stranger and when the photos came back from the developers, the photographer was so annoyed at the guy that he got rid of the photo. And now you have it! Screechy is flying away to her nest with another egg. How many does she have???
Oh dear, I see Sue and Nanook discussed all the things that I did. TOO BAD! I'm not changin' a thing! ;-b
Thanks for the Randos, Major.
Sue, I think Steve Martin must have seen that first photo, and it inspired his "arrow-through-the-head" shtick. ;-)
I know we've seen the Grand Hotel like this before, with a see-through upper floor. What I can't remember is, was it decided that it was still under construction? Or are we just seeing into a convention or banquet room that extended from the west side of the hotel all the way to the east side?
JB, I bet that guy in the second pic was one of the earliest pioneers in photo-bombing!
Thanks, Major!
