You can see the Matterhorn in the background etc... It is almost as if the photos could have been taken last week. Then you realize that they were taken 49 years ago. I look at the people in the pics and wonder where they are today. What is sad is that people who have taken these pictures took them for memories and now they have been given up to the public and not kept in the family. However, it is great we all get to glimpse the the past in such a vivid format at Kodachrome slides.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-1748839986299010272010-08-02T18:00:39.433-07:002010-08-02T18:00:39.433-07:00What is amazing about pictures such as these is th...What is amazing about pictures such as these is that certain things have remained the same at Disneyland.
