Mr. Worm Visits Disneyland, 1973
One day, Mr. and Mrs. Worm decided to visit Disneyland with their three children (Fern, Ned, and Boris). They stayed at the Disneyland Hotel the day before, enjoying one of the charming garden rooms, relaxing by the Olympic-size pool, and eating an early dinner at the Coffee Shop. You can be sure that Mrs. Worm did some preemptive Christmas shopping. And even though worms don't have eyes, Mr. Worm brought his camera long. It seems unusual, but you just never know with worms.
A castle picture?! Well of course, it's practically required that every guest take a photo of Sleeping Beauty Castle. Mr. Worm knew it, and actually stood on a handy rock to get this elevated view (elevated for him, that is). Magnificent!
Boris actually took this photo (while his dad was in the Little Worm's Room); he is quite a scamp, but he shows some talent with a camera. Too bad there is not a single bobsled or climber present; though it's possible that there is a worm up there (with a red Tyrolean hat) that we humans can't detect.

Major-
I'm guessing those backlit spires of the Sleeping Beauty Castle looked much brighter in-person - even to those eyeless worms. It's all the camera's fault.
Thanks, Major.
Ah, but there IS a bobsled present! It's just to the right of the top of the waterfall. We can even see a bit of a rider's head. I like both of these pics, and this era for the park.....with the exception of Carousel of Progress and the Pack Mules closing that year. Even in 1973, TRE!
Thanks, Major!
The dark and dreary Castle does look rather striking. And it would be an excellent reference picture for someone building a model of SB Castle, and wanting to see the details in the uppermost tower. Mr. Worm shoulda asked another guest to toss him high into the air to snap this photo. Of course, when he came back down, the Killer Swans would've been waiting for him.
It's a beautiful picture of the Matterhorn, framed by that deep azure sky. (Thanks, Boris!) And I think there actually IS a Bobsled up there to the right of the waterfall. (TM! beat me to it!) Looks like there is someone in it with their arm hanging onto the railing/grip thingy. We also see Tink's zipline; but no Tink.
I wanna see more of the Worm family's pics! Thanks, Major.
