Taking a page from
Gorilla’s don’t Blog, today’s post is an “
offsite” postcard look at Disneyland. This postcard is not even close to being as cool as Major’s Waikiki Motel postcard from Tuesday (
link). You many recall seeing the “
Top’s Motel” on this blog before. Here’s a 1955/56 brochure back in the Motel’s prime (
link). And yes the motel is still stand today, the pool with girls in bikinis is long gone and its no longer “
Top’s” now its just “
Classic” (
January 2009 photo). Dig that room interior, the lamps, the TV, the chairs, the carpet, wow!
Our tourist gave a super account of their trip to Disneyland. “
Many new additions”... The “
Light Parade” must have been a far out concept “
instead of flowers etc., the floats are made of strings of lights ---> it’s really very impressive”. I couldn’t have said it better myself.
Since we’re in
1972, how about a Vacationland from the
Fall/Winter 1972? I was just in New Orleans Square a yesterday and boy has this area changed!
Neat article on the Haunted Mansion. Come back on Bonus Sunday for the rest of the article and the entire issue.

I love the postcard, in this case it's cool that it is "used", with the description of the Electric Parade. Was '72 the first year of that parade? I know I could look it up, but I'm lazy.
I wonder if Mr. & Mrs. D.P. Harry had a good time at Lion Country Safari the next day? At least she wouldn't have had to do as much walking there!
