I wonder if the Colonel Hathi costumed character was ever used to walk around the park and greet guests? I only remember seeing him as part of The Jungle Book unit in the park's "Fantasy On Parade." I'll be posting more pics of those Jungle Book characters in November!TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440013033477237104.post-38546746317384045122017-06-23T09:29:10.237-07:002017-06-23T09:29:10.237-07:00How did I miss this one?

This is the theme park era I fell in love with.<br /><br />I like the photo with Snow White and Dopey at the Tomorrowland entrance. Also, I'm a big fan of collecting the postcards in which the costumed characters appeared in Disneyland. The Baloo, King Louie and Colonel Hathi is a great one. Thanks for sharing these!K.

Still, it wouldn't come anywhere close to your several thousands of posts....but I can dream, can't I? ;-)TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440013033477237104.post-64732058286248186892017-06-18T15:24:46.269-07:002017-06-18T15:24:46.269-07:00Well shoot, I am late to the party (as usual)… man...Well shoot, I am late to the party (as usual)… many congratulations on your 400th post! I always look forward to new articles, and appreciate the research and information that you always provide. Of course I love Universal Studios (from days of old), and Knott’s Berry Farm of course - that picture of the lagoon train is great. <br /><br />It feels good to be the annoying person who gets to say, “Here’s to 400 more!”!Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440013033477237104.post-20277680734472388722017-06-17T12:00:39.748-07:002017-06-17T12:00:39.748-07:00Chuck, my mom says that when my brother and I were...Chuck, my mom says that when my brother and I were very little, my dad used to carry two to three cameras on our trips to Disneyland, Knott's, etc. I have the proof because I have slides of us at DL and then there are also Polaroids and home movies of us that I know are from the same trip because we are wearing the same clothes! He did stop doing that at some point!TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440013033477237104.post-86917694404277519322017-06-17T04:13:22.887-07:002017-06-17T04:13:22.887-07:00Great photos, and a fitting tribute not only to yo...Great photos, and a fitting tribute not only to your dad but to dads everywhere. <br /><br />While my mom shot her fair share of 110 snaps, it was my dad who had taken a photography course in college and lugged around the 35mm SLR and the movie camera (both Canons he had picked up at the Da Nang PX in Vietnam) on vacation and got some of the best family photos. <br /><br />It seems to be that way in many families. I've carried on the tradition myself. In fact, we lost my oldest at age 2 11/12 at WDW as we were entering the line for The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh because I wasn't holding his hand because mine were filled with a 35mm, a 1940s Kodak Reflex II, and a video camera.<br /><br />Which reminds me...I need to clean my primary lens before heading off to Scout camp.<br /><br />Thanks again for another fun post!Chucknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440013033477237104.post-20163416674335083742017-06-16T12:38:29.483-07:002017-06-16T12:38:29.483-07:00Thank you, SWA!

Yeah, if it hadn't been for my Mom and Dad taking us so regularly to the various theme parks here in So Cal, I might not have ever "caught the bug!"<br /><br />Awwww, thanks KS!!!TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440013033477237104.post-72516838474344042452017-06-16T10:10:46.152-07:002017-06-16T10:10:46.152-07:00Quite an accomplishment.

It's easy to see where your love of theme parks got its start. Thanks for sharing.Snow White Archivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04715594290214114608noreply@blogger.com
