Sunday Snoozles™
It is time... time for some crummy slide scans! Hey, I scanned 'em, so you have to look at 'em. That was in the small print of the contract that each of you filled out before viewing GDB.
Both of these are from January, 1964; we'll start with this ho-hum view of the Mark Twain, late in the afternoon - which means it was probably 4 o'clock. The Twain is packed, which makes me wonder if holiday crowds were filling the park when this photo was taken? It looks like you could hardly squeeze another soul on board without using a crowbar and some lard (that's how I would do it, anyway). If I look really closely I imagine I can see the bell on the side of Cascade Peak, but it might just be a rogue squirrel.

Birthday and Sub Lagoon (March 1965)
Next I have two photos of the old Sub Lagoon, just the way I like it! I don't hate the way it is now that it has been "Nemo-fied", but it's a lot smaller, which is not great. However I admit that when you are in one of the subs on a bright sunny day, the lagoon looks very pretty. Plenty of color and some fun gags.
Meanwhile, look at the line snaking around the Matterhorn - Fantasyland looks pretty crowded. We can just see the tippy-top of Fantasyland Station, as well as the pylon with the international traffic signs in front of the Fantasyland Autopia.
