Two From February, 1965
Sometimes I acquire slides one at a time, sometimes I get lucky and get 20 or 30 at a time. But today's lot consisted of only two slides. They're pretty good though!
First up is this view that I assume is from the Disneyland Hotel, up on the Monorail platform. Or was this somehow taken from the Monorail itself, with no motion-blur in the foreground? We're looking across West Street (named after James West) toward the vast parking lot. Yes, that's it, even though it's hard to see through the smog. If you look real hard you can see Wilbur Clark's Crest Hotel, and to the right of that, Melodyland. Main Street Station is also barely visible.
This one is extra-fun, with the Tomorrowland Space Girl (I've actually never known if she had an official moniker), posing with a cute little girl who hopes that she will someday live on the Moon. They are near the entrance to Tomorrowland (the Plaza is behind us) and the America the Beautiful attraction.

Major-
'Space Girl's' outfit definitely gives a new meaning to helmet hair. Heck, that helmet could contain a built-in hair dryer. Just think of all the time it could save.
Thanks, Major.
The Tomorrowland Space Girl's hair is growing to the shape AND the size of her helmet!
Thanks for the cool 1954 pics, Major!
Nanook...ha, ha! You beat me by one minute!
Are you sure this isn't the surface of Venus, Major? Wow, the parking lot looks full! Although, it's [cough] difficult to [cough, cough] tell through all this [cough] smog.
I don't know if the little girl made it to the Moon, but she'd make an excellent Alice. Love the big, bulbous hairdo on Space Girl. It looks like the inside of her helmet (the clear one, not her hair) is starting to fog up a little at the bottom.... Looks like being a Space Person would be unpleasant.
I wrote my comment before reading what Nanook and Tokyo! had to say about Space Girl's helmet hair. Seems like we all had the same reaction! :-)
Thanks, Major. [cough]
