You are correct, the park did close on Mondays and Tuesdays for many years; but a friend of mine took these when he was a teenager, and I am pretty sure he didn't have access to the park on "off" days. Still, it is weird that the castle, the very heart of the park, looks deserted except for that one guy.<br /><br />Tom, sometimes the soft focus does lend a dreamy quality to the pictures, but I thought that the first one was maybe a bit TOO dreamy!<br /><br />PsySocDisney, I figured it was implied that I meant "Everyone except PsySocDisney"! Next time I will be more specific.<br /><br />Nanook, "muntin" is a good one too; I used "mullion" since it was specifically a vertical piece, though either would have worked. And there is still a nice bunch of Instamatics to come, so stay tuned!<br />Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-18966479599165812202013-05-31T12:09:21.871-07:002013-05-31T12:09:21.871-07:00The shadows are certainly long enough to be early ...The shadows are certainly long enough to be early morning light in the first shot. Unfortunately the shadows don't say "It's Monday, we're closed!"...so we can't know which day it is, but wouldn't that be cool if we could??!!<br /><br />Also, I love saying mullion. Mullion.

How's about 'muntin' for esoteric window parts-?<br /><br />Anyways, I join-in with my fellow readers, that although not necessarily worthy of a "Kodak Picture Spot" image, these are none-the-less a treat for eyeballs hungry to see the less-traveled views from Disneyland. Keep 'em coming. <br /><br />Thanks, Major.Nanookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255357829181568172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-4175467536670792752013-05-31T10:04:08.467-07:002013-05-31T10:04:08.467-07:00Who you calling "flawed?"

(FYI, the horizontal equivalent to a mullion is a "transom").<br /><br />D-ticket, as a kid I found that most of my pictures came back from the Photomat looking much worse than I expected! I was no Ansel Adams.<br /><br />Nancy, I would be thrilled to find an actual photo of Roy O. Disney walking around Disneyland! But I am not holding my breath.<br /><br />K. Martinez, I always think of Disneyland as having so much landscaping, but parts of that old Fantasyland were definitely on the barren side.<br /><br />Alonzo, this photo really surprised me, the Peoplemover was SO low. Did it remain that way through the years, until the Rocket Rods replaced it?Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-8032882436935227652013-05-31T06:34:52.774-07:002013-05-31T06:34:52.774-07:00Red peoplemover so low you can almost touch it as ...Red peoplemover so low you can almost touch it as you drive by.

Always enjoy the early photos, when things were fresh and uncomplicated. <br /><br />Especially like his description of the excitement of getting to see what the camera saw. Those days seem to be long gone already<br /><br />Love how close the Peoplemover is to the ground, and that really DOES look like Roy Disney visiting the castle. :-DNancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09895614694411482044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-84718094016511303702013-05-31T00:24:20.820-07:002013-05-31T00:24:20.820-07:00Unreject away!

Someone get the lights! Oops blurry. What's that red thing? Ooh reflection. Well, these were just practice, I'll do better next time.<br /><br />Not to worry, we're enjoying them half a century later. Love the colours in the Alice shot!D-ticketnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-66821070981390184022013-05-31T00:21:53.872-07:002013-05-31T00:21:53.872-07:00Thanks Major, I learned a new word today.....MULLI...Thanks Major, I learned a new word today.....MULLION!TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.com
