I'm generally more interested in the "backstage" stuff seen in this photo (with the exception of that tunnel that leads back to the area where canal boats were stored and presumably refurbished). is that long gray building a part of Disney's property back then? If so, I wonder what was in it. Something cool, no doubt. Cheerful little Fantasyland Station can also be seen to the right.
Nice bright 'n sunny photos for a dark 'n wet day! I was going to apply for a refund, but now that I know there was once "Pledge for Whales" I'm a happy camper.
ReplyDeleteMonstro!
ReplyDeleteAhab Approved "Pledge for Whales"... now in "Cetacean Citrus" fragrance... and NO waxy build-up.
ReplyDeleteHey, what happened to my comment I posted EARLY this morning???
ReplyDelete:-(
VDT, I am only aware of a "new whale" scent for whale Pledge.
ReplyDeleteMonstro indeed, Matterhorn!
Katella Gate, what the heck is wrong with waxy build-up?
Connie, maybe I accidentally deleted your comment in a drunken haze!
Mean whale, mean whale!
ReplyDeleteThat long grey building was where they did periodic maintenance and component testing on the Polaris missiles carried by the Cold War-era grey subs that operated out of the Disneyland Naval Base. My understanding is this is still on the target list for the Russians, just in case Disneyland ever abrogates their portion of the SALT II agreement.
ReplyDeleteStorybook Land, that part behind for boat storage was always referred to as "Never-Never Land, because we "never-never" take you there.
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to go.
