Happy 70th Anniversary, Disneyland! ✨

Julie Andrews once said that Disneyland was "Walt's gift to a weary world," and I believe that is more true now than ever. The world changes - even Walt's small park has and will continue to change - yet Disneyland remains a stalwart beacon of joy and optimism.

You know you’ve crafted an amazing joke when a normal Disney fact makes someone(me) laugh. Thanks for spreading comedy and keeping this gag alive @hamjenkins.bsky.social !

Me zooming in to see what Disneyland record is in the chandelier. “It’s a small world” in case you are wondering. 😁

Looks like Gustaf Tenngren! He was the master of moody at the time. His use of light and dark was gorgeous. 😍 #disney #disneyhistory #disneyanimation #pinocchio

This incredible property built by Disney Animator Lawrence Johnson just went up for sale! He built it in the 1940’s and it is an awe-inspiringly gorgeous example of “Storybook” style. Despite the location I think the grounds and water features look peaceful. 😍

Two (sadly watermarked) slides from eBay... not only the Contemporary in its prime, but also rare photos of the entrance of the sublimely-named The Spirit World liquor and sundries shop.

Good morning. It’s Thursday and the week is almost over. This has been fun this week showing Walt and his many hats. Today we feature Walt in a sombrero. That tie adds some flair as well. Have a terrific day!

ATTENTION!
Someone finally uploaded the 1978 3D film “Sea Dream.”
This played at both Marineland of Florida and later at Knott’s Berry Farm.
It also has a pov of the Busch Gardens classic coaster “The Python.”

A must watch for all theme park fans.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.
