Two From November 28, 1973
I'm using up the last two scans from November 28, 1973. Let's start with a view shot from the Monorail as it zoomed shooshingly passed the entry to the park, allowing a nice look at the Mickey Mouse floral portrait, and a train waiting at the station. A loudspeaker is on top of that structure, presumably pumping out a selection of Disney melodies.

Cherokee, North Carolina
We've visited the tourist destination of Cherokee, North Carolina before on GDB, take a look HERE and HERE. Cherokee is about 20 miles south off Pigeon Forge, and about 5 miles west of Maggie Valley - both places that we have also visited. But it's been a while, and I'm ready to buy some quality souvenirs, starting with this April 1964 pic. The hills aren't quite as lush and green as they would be in a few months, but I'm sure this still felt pretty great to folks from the Frozen North. "The Indian Store", with the twin tepees on top, was one of the more popular photo subjects, and it's no wonder. Zooming in, there are plenty of bows, arrows, and rubber-tipped spears for all of us. I wonder what else they had, further back in the shop? Blankets? Tom-toms? Bead-worked moccasins? "Peace pipes"? I'll bet I'm not too far off.

1950s Pix
Here's a pair of Disneyland views, featuring a lady (visiting from the midwest?) as she checked things out.
Assuming that our heroine just arrived, walked up Main Street into the Castle forecourt without much dilly-dallying in between, she arrived pretty late in the day. Those sun is already sinking in the west! But that's how folks sometimes did it back then, allowing only a few hours for their visit. I just scanned some slides from another batch with a woman who went to Disneyland and Knott's in the same day (well, she's wearing the same dress at both places, at any rate). Perhaps folks like her only had one free day to see the amusement parks?
