Disneyland in Slides - July 1980

Let's take a trip to Disneyland in July of 1980.   Sid and Veronica area ready to make some magic memories!  It's weird to see the Thunder Mountain path with the old Fantasyland connected to it, it doesn't compute.

Sid looks pretty square compared the suit guy that has his back to us.  The old Fantasyland colors were fun.

Veronica looks swell in this show, except for the kids face in the lower left corner.

Interesting angle.  And this photo proves once and for all that Pirate Ships do have electrical outlets.

Ronnie looks nice but come on Sid, remove the trash from the background.

Skyway time!

Super shot of Tomorrowland taken from the Monorail.

The Mighty Matterhorn and I think that's the flag/banner for the Motorboat Cruise!

Yup, its 1980!

Tokyo Disneyland Complimentary 4 Attraction Ticket Book - 1983

Time for a Tokyo Disneyland vintage ticket post.  The park opened in 1983 so this "Complimentary 4 Attractions" ticket book from 1983 is a vintage as you can get for Tokyo Disneyland.

The color of the tickets is a little drab, but the cool artwork makes up for it.

I'll be in Tomorrowland, then its off to The Mickey Mouse Revue!

Mickey is happy to present you with 4 free E tickets!

From a 2009 post (link): Here’s a beautiful Tokyo Disneyland Guide book from August 1985. This guide is done in the same style as the Anaheim Disneyland guides of the same period; it wouldn't surprise me if they were produced by the same group of people at Disney. The entire guide is below, I especially like the big map and the Tomorrowland pages.

Truckin' Magazine - May 1977

Welcome to Magazine.  Let's start "Truckin" with Truckin Magazine from May 1977.

It's the Third annual "Van Happening" at Disneyland.  This somewhat light 2 page article is proof that Vans were all the rage in 1977.

Square headlights on a van, that'll never happen. The award winner's have some serious belts.

Hey, the Helm's Bakery Truck reminds me of Disneyland's Global Van Lines Truck and the Carnation Truck.

You are most certainly NOT in Kansas Toto...

SuperVan, wow how cool is that?

Let's view the trailer.

The SuperVan even made it into one of the articles.

Dodge was trying to cash in on the Van craze, wow those earth tones are something else.

In case you missed my previous "Truckin - July 1975" post, you can view it here (link).

Disneyland in Slides - April 1971

Time for some vintage Disneyland slides.  From April 1971, these groovy slides are fun and have some warm colors. 20¢ for popcorn, nice!  Those are some sweet threads, on everyone.

The little boy in the green jacket reminds me of how I dressed in the early 70's. 

Super shot!

Eyes closed...

Even though the faces are in shadows, this is my favorite of the bunch.

The rest are so-so...

 

Who doesn't love a parade? (me...)

 Mogli?

Overexposed but still worth posting.

Perspecta 9/10: The Yale Architectural Journal - 1965

For today's post we've got something a little different.  From 1965 its the "Prespecta 9/10: The Yale Architectural Journal".  At 345 pages its a good sized and detailed journal.

There's only one page of text regarding Disneyland, but its pretty intellectual stuff, or at least the author thought it was intellectual.  "A large Papier-mâché mountain called the Matterhorn" I suppose you could see it that way...  

There's a super foldout map which is unfortunately on red paper, however its still a fun map.  I don't think I've seen this map before, does anyone recognize it?  Here's a high resolution version (link - 25MB). This map reminds me of the excellent map from the 1963 National Geographic article (link).

Back side of the map has some Black and Red photos.

The rest of the Disneyland pages are some nice black & white photographs, shown below without further interruption.
