The crowds are tolerable, the weather is warmer than at home but cool enough to wear long pants, and Christmas decorations and events are up and running.

Maybe those women came to America in the Mayflower?<br /><br />K. Martinez, yes, those signs are awesome! It almost looks like a bustling boardwalk.<br /><br />TokyoMagic!, the little boy is pointing at 1937Fan’s name of course. It’s so obvious! <br /><br />Melissa, he really does look thrilled about something. My guess is that a costumed character of some kind is standing nearby; Mickey or Donald, or maybe Pluto. Ha ha, I thought the ladies’ hats looked like Pilgrim hats as well!<br /><br />Andrew, I’ve seen early shots of downtown Los Angeles - granted, a lot more metropolitan than Main Street was supposed to be - and those vertical signs are not unusual. But there is no question that Disneyland’s Main Street is romanticized.<br /><br />Andrew, ;-)<br /><br />Chuck, yes, those freezing temperatures. It may have even dropped into the 50’s! When I lived in Pennsylvania, I’d go out into the snow barefoot (for short intervals). I can’t imagine doing that now. Funny that your mom was so concerned about you remaining fashionable; you’d think she would like that you wanted to wear your dad’s cardigans. I wonder if an antique car dealership was ever in the early plans for Disneyland’s Main Street? They had something like that at the old Petersen Automotive Museum in L.A. (before it was completely redone), and it was pretty neat.<br /><br />stu29573, I hope you don’t really smell anything funny, or else Disneyland security will be escorting you to the front gate. Maybe you will even be permanently banned! I’ve always wondered how those “permanent bans” worked, how could they enforce it? All a man or woman or child would have to do is wear a big fake mustache. And yes, I went to the park when I was a kid and thought it was crowded, but I’ll bet it was nothing compared to a crowded day today.<br /><br />dzacher, come to GDB, we got weed humor, we got fart humor, we gots it ALL! Like you, I miss the more varied shops at Disneyland; a friend sends me great pictures of his items from Merlin’s Magic Shop and other stores, I’m so jealous!<br /><br />Nanook, weird, I quoted a different number (30,247)last November; knowing me, I screwed it up somehow!

What with them no-goodnic Beatles coming to America only a year before these photos, I suspect these folks are up to no good! Now get off my yard!<br />Ok, actually these are charming! I wonder if these folks would believe how crowded this day on the calendar would become? Heck, they probably thought it was crazy crowded back then! My vote for favorite shot is the first one.
