The Skyway closed in October of '94 and the towers were removed by the very next day. <br /><br />I have these three postcards and have tried to pin down a year for them myself. Major, I think you are probably right in guessing 1992. That construction could be Toontown being built, or maybe it's the removal of Baloo's dressing room from the Disney Afternoon Avenue. The train tressel was already in place before Toontown was built because Baloo's dressing room sat on the other side of the tressel. The Disney Afternoon Avenue was at DL in 1991 and at that time, the Small World Clock was still painted in shades of blue. We need to find out when exactly the facade was painted in pastels because that is probably what's going on in those postcards. could they have painted Small World at the same time they removed the Disney Afternoon Avenue props? That would explain the whole area being walled off.<br /><br />Just my two cents! :-)TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-37075268937891479602009-06-27T12:47:24.855-07:002009-06-27T12:47:24.855-07:00Now - I'm REALLY confused - I just read that T...Now - I'm REALLY confused - I just read that Toon Town opened in January of '93. How can the Skyway be gone - (late 1994 according to Yesterland) but no Toon Town?<br /><br />I give up. These are pictures from a Disneyland is an alternate universe.Hrundi V.

There is no Christmas Tree on Main Street (postcard #3) so I think this might mean we're looking at a time after December '94 / Early January '95.<br /><br />I also think in Postcard #1 it appear there are "Disney Walls" blocking entrance to anything beyond Storybook Canals.<br /><br />OR - I'm completely wrong and have no idea what I'm on about (which is certainly the most likely scenario).Hrundi V.

When was that built? Maybe we could narrow it down that way?Hrundi V.

It continued outside the berm (along Harbor) until it reached the backside of Tomorrowland (another gate is still there there), and finally ended in front of the employees parking entrance and lot off Harbor. I used zoom around that road a lot as a shortcut to work.CoxPilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284076551547506117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-38273351270557640162009-06-27T07:34:26.522-07:002009-06-27T07:34:26.522-07:00The "Anaheim" card is puzzling: Nobody g...The "Anaheim" card is puzzling: Nobody goes to Clark County - they go to Las Vegas!<br /><br />Maybe there was a contractual obligation to feature the city this way.Katella Gatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05562521359201308834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-47398760017613481002009-06-27T07:00:15.935-07:002009-06-27T07:00:15.935-07:00those are just wonderful and I wish I had them in ...those are just wonderful and I wish I had them in my collection.
