Snapshots
I'm using up the last three vintage photo prints that were part of a lot of about 20 images that turned out to be from several different Disneyland visits. Some were from 1965, but these are either from later in the 60s, or even into the 1970s.
Mom is a real live wire, she loves to smile for the camera, waving like a maniac. I approve of her enthusiasm. Three members of the Bucket Hat Mafia are also aboard, don't make any sudden moves or you'll sleep with the fishes! The Storybook Land hostess is standing, I don't think I've ever seen one that wasn't sitting "sidesaddle" on that little "roof".
There's mom again, I imagine she has a big Phyllis Diller laugh. She curses like a sailor, but that but that only makes her more lovable. Notice Rolly Crump's entry-to-Tomorrowland flowerbeds, making these photos post-1967 at least.
Here we are on another different day; Mom is wearing a different outfit as the family poses in front of the famous Senegal palm tree. I love that diamond-shaped Autopia sign in the background... I recently saw a website that stated that it was the best Autopia sign of all. I'm not so sure about that, but it's pretty sweet.

Major-
"Mom is a real live wire, she loves to smile for the camera, waving like a maniac".
Let's hope 'Mom' isn't running for political office, as her "maniac-like wave" might be misconstrued as... something else. She's definitely spent some time on that 'smile', as it appears to be identical in both images. Good job, Mom-!
Thanks, Major.
I think the Bucket Hat Mafia guy in the red shirt (Guido) is trying to be incognito. The Law is after him for trying to pass off Santa Ana oranges as Anaheim oranges just outside the Disneyland gates. For a snapshot, this is really crisp and colorful. Nice photo!
Major, I was thinking the same thing- big Phyllis Diller laugh. I like the zebra-stripe glasses on the gal to the right of Phyllis. Is that a "Photo Spot" sign on the right? Or something else?
Wow, I didn't know the Senegal Palm produced gondola-shaped fruit! Look at it just hanging there, ready for picking. It even produced PEOPLE in the bucket! Or a reasonable facsimile thereof. Looks like a kernal of popcorn on the ground. Or maybe it's a wad of gum. Or a reeeeeally small UFO.
Colorful, well saturated snapshots! Thanks, Major.
