Here are two nice photos from The Plaza, enhanced by a beautiful Spring sky, blue with puffy white clouds. We'll start with this shot looking toward the castle, the Disneyland Band is in their red livery, and playing "Outa-Space" by Billy Preston. John Hench requested it! The trees and benches to our right are where the "Partners" statue now stands.
Just past the INA Carefree Corner on Main Street, our photographer looked to his/her right, to snap this picture of... well, I'm not sure what was so interesting. The Motorized Firetruck has chugged by, probably honking its olde-timey horn. We can just see Rolly Crump's swirling purple and yellow flower beds at the entrance to Tomorrowland, along with the yellow and white-roofed souvenir stand that used to be behind the Monsanto House of the Future.

Major-
Nice shots of the Plaza/Hub. Perhaps the photographer spied that yellow Bobsled and wanted to preserve it in pictures-!
Thanks, Major.
The Disneyland Band, standing in a circle, looks like the Whos, down in Whoville, singing ♫"Fah Who Doraze"♫. Except there's no Who Tree in the center. I looked for Cindy Lou Who in the crowd, but I couldn't find her. She's probably atop Mt. Crumpit playing with Max, the Grinch's dog.
Nice photo. Do clouds have scale? They look good here, adding perspective to the picture.
Hey! There's a yellow and white Bobsled careening around the Matterhorn [Edit: Dang you, Nanook. ;-)]. We can see a bit of the PeopleMover track near the center and to the right; mostly just the pylons. Also on the right, there is a guy kneeling down. Is he tying his shoes? Tending to a small child in a stroller? Throwing up?
There's a lot going on in this photo, even if we're not focusing on anything in particular.
Pleasant pics, Major. Thanks.
It's hard to believe that there was ever a time when they allowed guests to stand up on the back bumper/running board/whatever of the Firetruck. And it looks like neither one of those men are even holding on. The guy at the right looks like he's taking a picture! Maybe he was impressed by the sight of the Bobsled way up there on the Matterhorn, and said "Safety be damned!"
Thanks, Major.
