Tigger & Carrousel, circa 1976

Here are a couple of undated photos - I am guessing that they are from about 1976 or '77. I mean, just look at the bell bottoms on that lady! She is all about the bicentennial, don't you think. When you are standing next to a bright orange Tigger, you need to make a fashion statement if you don't want to be overwhelmed by his glory. Her friend's pink pants and flowered top look subdued by comparison.


I'm always happy to see a photo of King Arthur's Carrousel from the days when the horses were a variety of colors, and not just white. Guess I'm in the minority! Wouldn't you like to choose a black horse, or even a red one?

  1. Tigger glory! It's all too much. But that's what Tigger is all about.

    Aaaand are they any less happy because their horses aren't all white? Not even a hapillimeter. Look at those smiles. I agree with the lady I like the caramel meself.

  3. None of my friends remembered the horses being any color other than white - they all thought I was nuts because I insisted that I always went for the black horses. Thank you for proving me right!

  4. Man that first photo is a trip indeed! But I'm guessing its more around 1970-71; hair styles, clothes the background people are wearing and OK, the Wonderland Music Shop was closed by 1973 :-)
