It's a tossup for me between this one and the mid-70's incarnation at WDW with those wicked cool downward-shooting fountains at the entrance. Thanks for posting.<br /><br />Connie - just yesterday, I alos tried to think, wink, do a double blink, close my eyes and jump. The rest of my team thought I was nuts. So, in retrospect, I guess nothing changed.Chucknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-78657958543867834752010-08-20T16:20:49.674-07:002010-08-20T16:20:49.674-07:00Those pics are great.

Chris, thanks for noticing details that I missed! <br /><br />Nancy, I had heard about the name change back to The Peoplemover, and have to say that I approve! Hopefully I'll get to ride it someday.<br /><br />I have a couple of other photos from this same bunch that are pretty nice, so stay tuned!Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-17863972952527036392010-08-20T10:32:25.234-07:002010-08-20T10:32:25.234-07:00When your supervisor asks "What's all tha...When your supervisor asks "What's all that racket?" how do you explain that you are trying to do a "Mary Poppins" move and jump into the photo on your screen????<br /><br />Man! That first photo is awesome. I loved rushing over to the Bell Telephone building when I was a Tween...I loved going into the large glass phone booth to make a call. Oh and then when phone credit cards came out (remember those?) I would call a family member in Texas and brag about being at Disneyland, LOL!<br /><br />That second shot look pretty darn close to something I took back in the day!Connie Morenohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14112860706520621190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-78880794587261057372010-08-20T09:35:13.747-07:002010-08-20T09:35:13.747-07:00What Thufer said.

Gee that's a swell shot at that! It's also great to see it "in context" with members of its original audience so to speak. Much grander, more ambitious budget etc than the first Tomorrowland (and taken in context, than the present...). <br /><br />I also like the 2nd pic (beat ya to the space bar!). Yes the blur is a bummer but on the other hand it is a photo of a scene about a world in motion and in that sense it's not such a problem then.Chiana_Chathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18329208224763179478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-73072110238518323272010-08-20T02:06:53.201-07:002010-08-20T02:06:53.201-07:00P.S.

An updated version of Adventure Thru Inner Space would be nice too, but I'm sure that would never happen....unless they could find a way to stick Mike, Sully or Stitch in it.TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.com
