A Pair From December 1962
I think it's safe to classify both of today's photos as "standard Disneyland views". Nice enough, sure, but you probably won't call Aunt Marge to tell her all about them. (Call her anyway, she's lonely).
Yep, it's no surprise that it's a photo of the Mark Twain. It looks pretty against that deep-blue sky. Daredevil ducks wait until the last possible second to scoot out of its way (while other less-brave ducks stayed safely out of harm's way). I'd say that this behavior does not set a good example for ducklings. You can tell that there is a slight chill in the air based on the long sleeves and sweaters.
I think I read that the Pirate Ship was almost sponsored by Mongo's Liverwurst, but negotiations fell through when they insisted on pumping the aroma of liverwurst through the cannon's bores. But it's fun to imagine "what might have been"!

Does the Mark Twain have a 'bad side'-? Unlike egotistical actors, it clearly does NOT. It's always lovely.
As for the 2nd image, clearly only the gray-haired woman at the far left received the memo announcing today was 'match your sweater to the nearest trash can' day. She passed with flying colors-!
Thanks, Major.
Looks like SoCal has the prettiest skies in December! A rather striking picture of the MT taken from a head-on angle. Is it just coming back from its voyage or just departing? Up in the nose-bleed section, a dad/grandpa is dangling his little son/grandson over the railing! Yes, he's got his arm around the toddler, but kids can squirm unexpectedly!
Another interesting angle! Very kinetic-looking. Where are the sails?!? I wonder if CMs climb up into the crow's nests to remove/replace the sails and whatnot? I'm sure I won't be the only person to point this out but, the lady on the extreme left perfectly matches the trashcan that she's walking by! This is probably the only time we'll see that happening!
Ha! I knew I wouldn't be the first to point out the lady/trashcan similarity! Thanks Nanook. The early bird gets the worm... Let us know what it tastes like! :-D
Familiar subjects, but very nice photos! Thanks, Major.
@ JB-
"The early bird gets the worm... Let us know what it tastes like!"
Predictably, it tastes just like chicken-!
