Nite Pix, August 1970
I wasn't sure what to share on this Friday, so I opted for more night views from August, 1970. I can't say that they are great photos, but I like Disneyland at night. That's all I got.
The last time I went to Disneyland in August (a long time ago!), it was extremely hot and very crowded. But it's easy to imagine the sky darkening, the temperature cooling, all of Disneyland's lights turning on, and we might even hear some Big Band music wafting from the Plaza Gardens. Ahhh, that's better! Let's go into the Penny Arcade and get gently electrocuted by the Electric Shock machine. Just like grandma and grandpa used to do.
I'm not sure I've ever seen a night photo of the Flower Market, though the sepia tone robs the faux flowers of some of their brilliance. Guests still enjoy the novelty of the place, though.
Maybe we can grab a bite at the Plaza Inn. It looks very fancy, and yet inviting for slobs like me.

The Penny Arcade looks packed! If I remember correctly, the Arcade goes off to the right quite a ways? That's where most of the contraptions are... or were. :-(
I wasn't aware that the Flower Market sold produce. Looks like there are onions, garlic, peppers, and mushrooms in some of those bins. Pizza anyone? Now if I can just find the pepperoni bin. We can get the flour for the crust at the Old Mill on Tom Sawyer Island. Pretty sure that cheese is available in one of the Main Street shops. That just leaves the sauce. Where do we find the sauce? [Pooh Bear, "Think, think, think."]
Does the Plaza Inn have spaghetti on the menu? If so, we could order a plate of spaghetti, without the pasta, and use the sauce on our Disneyland Pizza! Ta-daaaa!
Nice nite pix, Major. No doubt about it, Disneyland really IS special after dark.
JB, the Penny Arcade was "T" shaped and went off to the right and the left......before they ruined it. The left side was a dead end, and the right side lead out onto the patio of Coke Corner.
Thanks for the vintage night shots, Major!
JB, I should have said that the Penny Arcade went off to the left (the dead end) and the right, in the very back. In the main room, there were large doorways that led into the Sunkist Citrus House (to the left) and the Candy Palace (to the right).
