Skyway Stuff, March 1961
I have a pair of Skyway-related pix for you today, beginning with this portrait of a little girl, up in the charming Fantasyland Chalet; the Teacups, Flying Elephants, and a few of the old dark rides can just be seen through the branches of the trees, it's a very pretty scene. Does the girl have suspenders??
Next is a view from a gondola, a pretty nice view too, never mind the safety bars partly blocking the scene. The red Mark I Monorail passes by almost silently - in just a few months, the Mark II trains would debut (in June), and guests could go all the way to the Hotel and back. The park looks pretty empty! We get some nice bobsled action, not surprising from here. Screechy2 is in the upper left, the Alice in Wonderland ride just sneaks into the lower right, and a prominent fire hydrant is right next to that Kodak Picture Spot sign.

"Does the girl have suspenders??"
It would appear so, doesn't it-? "They" seem to match her collar. Additionally, her dress seems to have a belt - double protection. Hmmm. (Melissa, please-!)
Love the image of the Monorail and Matterhorn 'area'. It captures a wonderful feeling of that tiny little part of Fantasyland.
Thanks, Major.
I suppose those are suspenders. But they appear to be decorative only; part of her dress. I think we can see part of the Pirate Ship through he trees on the left... or is that just more of the Skyway? I'm wondering what made the girl pose in that awkward way? I suppose she's being artsy and chic.
What a nice 'everything' picture! It has all the things you pointed out. Only, that isn't a fire hydrant. It's an alien (sort of a cross between "ET" and a gumball machine), and he/she/it is snapping an excellent photo from that Picture Spot location to show the folks back home in the Arcturus system.
Nice "stuff" today, Major!
@ JB-

Indeed. Good eye-!
