Some of the photos in this bunch are exceptionally nice, stay tuned!<br /><br />Chuck, on the steps of the Train Station, I believe.<br /><br />Brad Abbot, I love those too, and have only ever seen a single set for sale many years ago. I wish I had saved the info, but I think they went for what is (in retrospect) a steal.<br /><br />Nanook, those reduced posters almost look like large lobby cards!<br /><br />Patrick Devlin, you and me both!<br /><br />K. Martinez, while I have been aware of those Omnibus signs for a long time, I would welcome an even BETTER look at them. Someday. I'm glad you like the C.K. Holliday image!<br /><br />TokyoMagic!, I should have read ahead to your comment. Yep, I think we might get a better look at the Liberty Street banner (I sort of forget, actually!!).Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-54382946281061175302015-01-17T21:08:33.878-08:002015-01-17T21:08:33.878-08:00Chuck, we're on top of the steps leading up to...Chuck, we're on top of the steps leading up to the train station!<br /><br />I spy the Liberty Street Grand Opening banner at the very top of the pic near the upper right corner.

No matter how much you think you've seen or know of Disneyland, sooner or later there's bound to be something you haven't seen or noticed before.<br /><br />Major - I love the C.K. Holliday image with the view of the outside world. From Kansas to Oz. Have yourself a good weekend as well. Thanks, Major.K.

You could say the 'typical' attraction poster is an oversized One Sheet and the reduced version is akin to a Half Sheet.Nanookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255357829181568172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-83563875430806798392015-01-16T08:54:05.993-08:002015-01-16T08:54:05.993-08:00I've always loved the redesigned attraction po...I've always loved the redesigned attraction posters that were used on the side of the Omnibus, and this includes a great shot of them! They could have used the regular vertical posters, but they seem to have converted them to a horizontal format just for this purpose.<br /><br />It also gives us a better look at the Grand Opening sign on the Hills Bros.
