Blurzles™
It's always a letdown when I find slides that I think will be "better than usual", only to find, when scanned, that they aren't in focus. It ain't fair! I pay my taxes! But here we are.
Both of today's photos are dated "August 14, 1958", and feature the Suspension Bridge on Tom Sawyer Island. That was a Thursday, the park was open from 9:00 AM until midnight, and attendance is listed at 25, 633 guests (thanks to Jason's Disneyland Almanac, as always).
A conga-line of guests crosses the swaying bridge - even in this blurry state you can see some smiling faces, so everyone's having a good time. With Summer coming to a close, it seems that folks were taking advantage of the few weeks they had left to enjoy the park before school was back in session.
Arg! Blurry! Otherwise this would be a nice portrait of a young girl (watched by Mom nearby) - Dad must have crossed first so that he could look back and capture this view.

Yay! Blurzles!... Well, not "yay", but they are Blurzles. That's an interesting dress the girl in the center has on. Brown, white, and yellow horizontal stripes. And that long red and white ribbon thingy all the way down the front. Is she holding a hat in her hand? Maybe she's part of some sort of performance?
Blurry Girl in the center is about to be trampled by guests going in both directions! Both groups will meet in the middle and...... "Oh, the humanity!" Blurry Girl would be better off jumping over the netting, into the water, and taking her chances with the AEDs!
Well, they aren't that blurry. (We've seen worse.) Thanks, Major.
