Two From August 1962

Here's a fun pair from the summer of '62! Starting with this view of a family enjoying lunch in Frontierland. I'm not really sure which restaurant they visited, but one of YOU will know. Some of the guests have a tired, "over it" look, but I suppose they've just been caught off guard. The boy is going to enjoy his gourmet hamburger - extra-dry, just the way he likes it.


For a complete change, how about a house... OF THE FUTURE?!? Once you stepped inside, gravity vanished and guests floated through the rooms. It's true! I did my own research. Once a year they filled the house with water and koi, just because they could. The all-plastic house was just fine afterwards.

Obviously, aunt Minnie, in the red dress, is in the "over it" camp. I would venture a guess as to which restaurant this is, but I'm sure I would make a fool of myself... nothing new there. ;-) Some interesting fashions here, but I'll let Melissa tackle that. Except to say that the lady with her back to us, has a nice blue and white blouse (or is it a shirt?).

It's been a while since we've seen a photo of the HotF, other than getting a distant peek of it through the trees now and then. This is a slightly different angle than we usually see. And it's got a mountain growing out of the top of it!!! I don't know how they managed that enigmatic feat, but it IS the House of the Future after all. I tried to see what was on the inside, but it's hard to tell what's actually inside, and what is being reflected in the windows.

Thanks, Major.

Major-
Why does it seem to me we've seen a number of House of the Future images with only one person visible-? (Am I wrong-?)

Thanks, Major.

"I'm not really sure which restaurant they visited, but one of YOU will know".

Those chairs belong to Aunt Jemima's Kitchen, as does the structure barely visible behind those happy diners.
