I do like Alice's old facade better than the one we have today. WDW and Tokyo DL still have the old dark ride facades, so going there is like going back in time and revisiting my childhood. :-)TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-35483541487622859832009-04-02T03:58:00.000-07:002009-04-02T03:58:00.000-07:00one of the things that i love about the original D...one of the things that i love about the original Disneyland is how simple it was, like Frontierland being pretty much simply a vast desert so to speak with the little Old West town smack in the middle of nowhere, and the carnival-like decor in Fantasyland. it shows Mr. Disney's notion at the time, making things comfortable and familiar and thereby enjoyable. i so often wonder what he thinks of today's Parks.<BR/><BR/>love the images today. we have some of my fave vintage highlights in our first shot, including the white cat-eye sunglasses on our lady in the blue and white gingham, and a metal stroller there in the foreground on the left. <BR/><BR/>we have some beautiful posters there on the porch of The Golden Horseshoe as well...<BR/><BR/>oh yeah...and a nice sunny day, too! :DNancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09895614694411482044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-14957754926463107912009-04-02T02:46:00.000-07:002009-04-02T02:46:00.000-07:00Spin & Martys! heheYou're right.

It's certainly nice & summy. :)<BR/><BR/>Maj, re: making the supply of slides last. I know it might sound particularly onerous now, but eventually some re-dos may be good. Nowadays you have a better scanner and you're more experienced and skillful. On the other end, people's monitor resolutions and connection speeds are generally getting better. All of our knowledge & appreciation has been growing but our memories often get hazy. So esp. if in higher quality (moreso with earlier posted slides), many could make a welcomed re-look. Everything's hunky dorey right now and I'm delighted with the quality too, that's just a thought to mull over down the road. Lot of wonderful images here.Chianahttp://www.exquisiteirony.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-57001948021399250122009-04-02T00:33:00.000-07:002009-04-02T00:33:00.000-07:00Look at all the Spin and Martys watching the outla...Look at all the Spin and Martys watching the outlaw show!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
