The park just looks so NEW! I wonder if the Opera House was still being used as the print shop for the attraction posters at that point?<br /><br />olddisneylandfan, my trouble is that the people who accompany me to Disneyland are always in a big hurry to get to the big exciting rides. They never want to take a breather and ride the Horse Drawn Carriages or Omnibuses.<br /><br />David, I fully encourage more autoerotica references!Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-91542475774026240012012-03-15T21:36:13.523-07:002012-03-15T21:36:13.523-07:00Guy in the Grey Suit: "I tell you, Irv, its a...Guy in the Grey Suit: "I tell you, Irv, its an autoerotica flower.

So on my next visit, we rode every vehicle up and down the street. It was more fun that it sounds, even with drugs and rock music.olddisneylandfannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-69777670817100790892012-03-15T14:18:46.123-07:002012-03-15T14:18:46.123-07:00It's amazing to see Town Square and the Opera ...It's amazing to see Town Square and the Opera House so new - and almost a decade before the park would ever see its first Audio Animatronics human figure. Mind-blowing, really, when you see this in full color and so vibrant.

So, no fire truck, omnibus, or horseless carriages.Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-71887748682501117442012-03-15T13:06:12.131-07:002012-03-15T13:06:12.131-07:00WDW was running their Horse-drawn Trolleys when I ...WDW was running their Horse-drawn Trolleys when I was there in October (I posted a pic in November). I thought their Horseless Carriages were running too, but I just checked my pics and can't find one of it, so that I'm not completely sure about them.TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-49477269741609626012012-03-15T12:24:12.632-07:002012-03-15T12:24:12.632-07:00I know, I really *should* ride ALL of the Main Str...I know, I really *should* ride ALL of the Main Street vehicles. The top level of the Omnibus especially! From what I've been told, Walt Disney World does not run any vehicles any more; hopefully that will never happen at Disneyland.<br /><br />By the way, I'm pretty sure that the upstairs area of the Opera House was used for offices. Thanks for pointing out the Adventureland sign!Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-36299723665550298702012-03-15T00:54:18.063-07:002012-03-15T00:54:18.063-07:00LOL x 3.

Ride the trolley....LOL x 3. Cracked me up, thrice!<br /><br />Ride the trolley.<br /><br />What a nice scene, freshly planet Main Street. You can see the "future site of" building and a bit of rocket peeping over the horizon from the future... Meanwhile the curtains in the windows of the Opera House are disarrayed as if someone were actually at home upstairs.<br /><br />Davy Crockett Frontier Arcade - with a side shop window over which is a sign "bone carving"! Dang folks then were hardcore. Think tats hurt, puh. Speaking of signs, to our left is "Adventureland - Jungle Rivers of the World."<br /><br />The ladies and gentlemen to our right are looking at a flower broken by some reckless youth and discussing that piteous portent of things to come.Chiana_Chathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18329208224763179478noreply@blogger.com
