We love the fairy tale look of homes and streets all lit up with their unique lighting displays. What we love most is that we get to be part of it all. <br />Rustam Sayalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02107243756696124650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-16034945238408007602015-08-18T13:01:11.561-07:002015-08-18T13:01:11.561-07:00Alas, Major, that photo, if there was one, would b...Alas, Major, that photo, if there was one, would be in the photo boxes I can't find. I had a used 35mm SLR during my heaviest era of Disneyland visits. we went at least twice a year around that time, maybe 1971-1978. I took tons of Disneyland pictures on those trips. I had some great shots of Court of the Angels and NOS which I would love to find, but...<br /><br />I thought I had all my boxes from youth, but cannot locate any of those prints or negatives. I guess they went to the dump with my Batman comics. I do have a few pics that Mom and Dad took when I was much younger, mostly crummy instamatics. I have shared most of the good ones with you or Dave DeCaro.<br /><br />I do really enjoy these, special thanks to Huck.<br /><br />JGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-84858479132788925992015-08-18T12:01:43.542-07:002015-08-18T12:01:43.542-07:00Nanook, I also laugh at danger, broccoli, and knoc...Nanook, I also laugh at danger, broccoli, and knock-knock jokes.<br /><br />TokyoMagic!, was it called “Rings and Things” because it was next to the telephone? Get it? Because the telephone rings? Hello? Is this thing on? I can’t imagine that cast members would care if somebody was recording sounds at the park - I’ve never heard of anyone being stopped, though I suppose it could happen. <br /><br />K. Martinez, it’s funny, when I looked at the photos early this morning, I also made the connection to the drunk pirate. Don’t know why it didn’t occur to me before! <br /><br />Chuck, I remember the days of white pants. Grass stains are bad, but I’ll never forget when a neighbor of mine was standing next to a dog (a big afghan), and the dog decided to “lift a leg” on my neighbor. It’s the only time I’ve ever seen that happen, and somehow the white pants made it even worse.<br /><br />KS, I like the idea of a pickle barrel more than the idea of *eating* a big pickle while at Disneyland! <br /><br />JG, do you have your photo? You can share it here!<br /><br />Nanook, TokyoMagic! knows his stuff.Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-71548803614610622282015-08-18T10:37:32.089-07:002015-08-18T10:37:32.089-07:00@ TokyoMagic! -

I remember wearing them on a Polaroid scavenger hunt with a church youth group, and one of the tasks was to make a human pyramid. Being one of the taller, larger participants, I ended up being part of the base. I don't think the grass stain ever completely came out.<br /><br />Huck, thanks again for sharing your matte-finish memories!Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01836717368846566211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-69099754311973609482015-08-18T03:52:20.514-07:002015-08-18T03:52:20.514-07:00Huck,

It was the style back then.<br /><br />Love the Party Line photo. Such a rare location shot and fun pose. It looks like you were having a great day.<br /><br />The lamppost photo sort of reminds me of the drunk pirate with torch hugging the lamppost in Pirates of the Caribbean.<br /><br />Thanks again for sharing your Disneyland memories and personal photos. I thoroughly enjoyed. Hope to see more in the future.K.

I believe that shop next to the party line telephone was "Rings and Things" which was at some point became the front room of the former Disneyana Shop. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong though.<br /><br />The taking a cassette tape recorder to DL "trick" is one that I am also guilty of doing back in the day. However, I always felt like it needed to be hidden. I'm wondering if any cast members ever said anything to Huck about using a recorder in the park?TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-47298923670048306112015-08-18T00:10:41.160-07:002015-08-18T00:10:41.160-07:00Huck-
