Snoozles™
Here's a pair of Snoozles... not terrible by any means, but canted to the right a bit. Why? Maybe mom was taking the pictures, and her right arm also supported a weighty purse. This first one is dated "October, 1958", from the Plaza as a Horse Drawn Streetcar is about to stop, empty its load of passengers, perhaps take on new guests, and then head back to Town Square. I sure love old views of the park when there were expanses of grass and flowers.
A decade later (November, 1968) we get this shot of the French Market; perhaps those three people nearest to us just got off the Disneyland Railroad and were ready for lunch. The restaurant is now Tiana's Palace.

OK, we have a contest here: Was the photographer (weighty purse and all) taking a picture of the Horse Drawn Streetcar? Or taking a picture of that tree? PLACE YOUR BETS! (Is that Screaming Kidney Stone Kid's tree?)
Again, it's hard to determine what the photographer was aiming at here. The people in the foreground? The ironwork of the restaurant? Or maybe that bright red railing thing at the bottom of the photo? (What is that, anyway?)
I was wondering what the teardrop-shaped orange thing is toward the right. It looks like a ripe water balloon hanging from the railing, ready to burst. Then I noticed all the other 'water balloons' scattered around... It's a table lamp... You may laugh and guffaw if you wish.
Pretty good pics, for Snoozles. Thanks, Major.
JB : that red bar in the foreground is railing to one of the HOLLIDAY excursion coaches of the Disneyland Railroad . Our photographer is a DLRR passenger .
^ Thanks, Mike!
