Main Street Station, July 1963
Let's imagine that it's 1963, and we've just parked our Rolls Royce Silver Wraith (a fun little car with pep) in the Disneyland parking lot. After a brief (but exciting!) tram ride to the front gates, and a few minutes in line at the ticket booths, we're through the turnstiles and finally officially in the park. Say, look at that train up there! It's the E.P. Ripley, believe it or not. The population sign reads "33,000,000", which is more than your typical midwestern towns.
"Boooooaaaaarrrrrd!". The train is underway, starting its Grand Circle Tour around the park. As usual I admire those posters. If anybody has a spare Tiki Room poster that they don't need, I'll take it off of their hands! Yes, I will give my Beanie Baby collection in trade. An unruly plant is growing between the Jungle Cruise and Golden Horseshoe posters, which is odd to see.

Well technically, we didn't park our Rolls Royce, our chauffeur did. Major, be a good fellow and tip him handsomely, will you?
Like the other day, we have a mostly naked floral Mickey. Somebody throw a tarp over that Mouse!... Or some Miracle-Gro! That carpet of pink flowers (petunias?) looks nice! Why is that lady wearing a plastic rain bonnet? There doesn't appear to be a cloud in the sky. Maybe she doesn't want the wind to muss up her hair. I think a little bit of mussed up hair would look better than the plastic bonnet.
Maybe that unruly plant was deliberatey put there to liven up the water-stained retaining wall? Probably not, there doesn't appear to be any other plants trailing down the wall. While your offer of your Beanie Baby collection is tempting, I believe I will hang onto my five Tiki Room posters.
Pretty pictures, today. Thanks, Major.

JB, she had "just washed her hair and couldn't do a thing with it!" :-)
