That's a lot more than one "D" ticket (or whatever the mules required). As for the poster, I showed a photo of my own copy <a href="http://gorillasdontblog.blogspot.com/2007/01/tiki-room-exterior-1965.html" rel="nofollow">way back in 2007!</a> <br /><br />David, I think we can all be grateful that he didn't wind up in Tijuana!Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-16103424629233853962014-10-10T18:24:33.649-07:002014-10-10T18:24:33.649-07:00Mark, at the end on the black mule, later regrette...Mark, at the end on the black mule, later regretted this "ride" when he discovered that this was not the trail to Tijuana.

You can get a $46 horseback ride at Fort Wilderness at WDW, but it's just not the same as going right to Frontierland and riding out on a scenic tour with a whole group.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06169920944565828337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-36069638044621831052014-10-10T11:05:40.938-07:002014-10-10T11:05:40.938-07:00Wow, what a great shot of the posters and the trai...Wow, what a great shot of the posters and the train station with the TIMEX sponsored clock.

The cool kids are actually Disneyland employees, hired to scare off varmints.<br /><br />Chuck, I remember when I first saw photos (taken by guests) of the park when it had the "Mr. Banks" posters out front. It looked so great! They need to bring those back. A friend of mine wondered if the repros would be sold. "How the heck would I know?!" I replied hysterically. I'm very sensitive.<br /><br />Alonzo, I'd say that only about 10 percent of the photos that I find have really good color and are nice and sharp. Otherwise they tend to be too dark, too blue, blurry, badly composed, etc. It's frustrating! That's why you see so many duds here on GDB (don't blame me!).<br /><br />K. Martinez, I especially love the unusual angle.<br /><br />CoxPilot, I think that when Nestle bought Stouffers, their quality went way down. I had no idea that they had other restaurants; I'm trying to remember if I ever went to the Fashion Square/Main Placeā¦ was there a "Buffums" department store there?<br /><br />Tom, this is probably in my "top 3" for the mule pack, at least as far as I can recall!Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-15567742961119482862014-10-10T08:39:32.618-07:002014-10-10T08:39:32.618-07:00Wow: real, actual aloe, prickly pear and other des...Wow: real, actual aloe, prickly pear and other desert life growing there along the mule path. Never have I seen such an amazing picture of the mule pack, and certainly not from this angle.

They also ran the employee's cafeteria for Ford Aeronutronics in Newport Beach. The food was excellent in both places. I would meet my wife for lunch there whenever I could. Great images of days long gone.

Phtotoshop can only do so much these are the real deal for their age. <br /><br />I wish I looked as good as these pictures.

Whoever designed the display did a pretty good job of approximating the set design for "Saving Mr Banks." I'm simply amazed at the level of foresight the early Imagineers had.<br /><br />Good photos of the Pack Mules ARE hard to find, and this gem really shows off the level of detail that the Imagineers worked into this attraction. The plants, the burros, and even the guests look almost real.<br /><br />What a great tribute to the first generation of Imagineers this morning, Major!

I do like the two young 'hipsters', leading up the rear, with their cool sunglasses. One can never be to careful when out for a "burro" ride.<br /><br />Thanks, Major.Nanookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255357829181568172noreply@blogger.com
