A Pair From August 15 1959

Here's a very nice photo showing Town Square and Main Street Station on a bright sunny day. Folks are milling around, or relaxing on benches, or heading up the steps to take the train around the park. Just above the train depot to the right... a kid has lost his yellow balloon.


Do they still have chairs out on that extended bow area of the Mark Twain? Maybe sitting there will have to be on my "to do" list, since I always head straight for the top level.

Last time I visited in 2012 they had the chairs out on the extended bow area. They're free-standing and get rearranged from time to time by guests using them. In fact I sat in one of the front chairs when I rode the Mark Twain last summer.

Dont know why I love bunting, but I do! I guess b/c it reminds me of the 4th of July, picnics and great summer weather!

Looks like another perfect day at Disneyland! Your comment made me realize that I also have never sat on the lower level chairs on the Mark Twain...not sure why but will also have to do that next time!

Great way to start the week. Thanks, Major!

K. Martinez, the last time I was on the Twain, the Disneyland Band performed on the bow, and I think they were all sitting in the folding chairs. It's cool that they still do that!

Nancy, since these photos have an August date stamp, they probably were taken around the 4th of July, which explains the bunting.

the band plays in the front once a day on the days they are there. Otherwise the chairs are for guests. If you haven't been in awhile, they have changed the narration and a few things around the River. I think you'd like it.

The Main Street Train Station looks so grand!

Irene, I must have just gotten lucky that time I rode the Twain with the band! I assumed that they did it several times a day.

Connie, I really love the say the station (and Town Square) look in that picture!

I never ride in the bow chairs. I hate having to pick bugs out of my teeth.
