Snoozles™
It's a SNOOZLE SUNDAY, and that means it is time to unload a few "meh" pictures. Starting with this example from 1967 (I think). We're off to the side of the Tomorrowland Terrace stage, and even a bit behind it, so our view is not ideal. But I guess I can confidently state that I don't have another view quite like this one in my collection, so that's something! Some cute gals with pigtails, yellow tops and short orange skirts are rocking out. I'd bet that they are The New Descendants, which is an odd name that I like.
Next is this photo that I believe is from the 1970s - it was oddly faded, and my attempts at color-correction were not entirely successful. But it's good enough! We're aboard a Storybook Land Canal Boat, either we have just completed our journey through the land of Stories, or we are just about to depart. That cave is the entrance to "Never Never Land", where guests never go. We can just see part of the It's a Small World facade, as well as that colorful souvenir stand that really doesn't seem to fit in to that area (in my opinion).

Major-
I see the Skyway and Peoplemover vehicles are color-coordinated with the gals outfits - what are the odds-? The tone cabinet containing the Leslie speaker for the Hammond Organ is obscuring a number of the band members; but, oh that tone.
Thanks, Major.
Nothing "meh" about this pic! Looking at your linked photo, these are definitely The New Descendants gals. (I wonder what they did with the Old Descendants?) I like these costumes better than the other ones; sunnier. They kept their yarn pigtail-tie-r-uppers.
And we've got a yellow PeopleMover train going by. What is that futuristic spire to the right of the PM?
And, oh look! They hung a little Skyway Gondola-shaped bird feeder up on the edge of the stage roof! Wise decision. The feeder will attract the feral Killer Birds so they'll leave the guests alone. I think it's cute how they made the bird food in the shape of tiny humans inside the feeder; obviously appealing to the killer instincts of the feral Birds. Is that a pre-amp sitting down there on the floor near us?
Well this is unfortunate; whoever took this photo is facing the wrong way! They'll miss everything! (Or they already did.) Do you suppose they took a picture of the cave because the host/hostess just recited the "Never Never Land" joke?
Major, nice try with the "souvenir stand", but that tall yellow thing is the replacement for the "Flight to the Moon" rocket that they removed. It's now sponsored by Dole, hence the banana-yellow color. And now, it's the "Flight to Never Land" rocket. The Pirate Ship would have been better for that ride but, you know, they got rid of that too. (TRE)
Nanook, thanks for IDing the Leslie speaker cabinet. I thought that's what it was, but wasn't sure. I didn't want to make a fool of myself.... oops, too late. (Did I say that out loud?)
As Snoozles go, these are pretty nice, and interesting. Thanks, Major.
I really like both of these unusual shots, Major. The second one is reversed, however!
