They often, but not always, matched pretty closely. <br />I had a couple myself, even sewed one for myself. What was great was that you always had an "outfit" when you got ready to go someplace that required more than jeans. Not that Disneyland was every that for me :)Debbie V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04318603077035734786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-73525048755632137732013-01-09T15:06:18.462-08:002013-01-09T15:06:18.462-08:00I wondered if that yellow outfit was a cast member...I wondered if that yellow outfit was a cast member costume, but I couldn't find any reference pictures.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06169920944565828337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-73734071334885399982013-01-09T12:36:39.796-08:002013-01-09T12:36:39.796-08:00I agree with Melissa.

I'm sure I would have a much greater appreciation for these photos if I could put them into some kind of context. <br /><br />Melissa, somehow that guy makes me think of my grandpa, though my grandpa never wore a jacket like that! You and your babushkas.<br /><br />Debbie V., I am intrigued by the larger scale of WDW... friends imply that even when I expect it, the place will STILL be bigger than I imagine.Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-29055667153580330882013-01-09T06:28:54.622-08:002013-01-09T06:28:54.622-08:00I went to WDW for the first time in Nov 2011 and h...I went to WDW for the first time in Nov 2011 and had a wonderful time all around. I found the MK not as intimate as Disneyland, probably because of the larger scale.<br />I'm enjoying this pictures a lot thought (seeing what I missed all those decades ago) Debbie V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04318603077035734786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-31394589446557590072013-01-09T05:34:34.189-08:002013-01-09T05:34:34.189-08:00Love the dapper gentleman in the red-and-black jac...Love the dapper gentleman in the red-and-black jacket in Adventureland, and his dogged refusal to give in to the wide ties of the era.

The dark ride is Peter Pan's Flight. In the distance is the Skyway to Tomorrowland station and the building to the right is part of the Pinocchio Village Haus Restaurant which would later serve as inspiration for the Village Haus in Disneyland.<br /><br />In the Adventureland pic, if I remember correctly the Adventureland Veranda lies just beyond those palms. This was my favorite land in the Magic Kingdom back then.<br /><br />In the Tomorrowland pic it's the Grand Prix Raceway with a crossover queue ramp in the foreground. In the background blocking the Contemporary Resort Hotel is the Skyway to Fantasyland station.<br /><br />Major, these pix are AWESOME. I'm really looking forward to more WDW pix.K.
