Dan, I sho...Thank you, Darrin, Anon., SWS and Dan! Dan, I should have pointed out that that Mickey sign was in front of the old Fantasyland Theater (where the Pinocchio attraction is today). There was also a large retro Minnie on the other side of the theater entrance. I wouldn't be surprised if those were the old "flapping ears" Dumbo vehicles pictured in that book. Even though it was 1978 and the attractions pictured were only supposed to be current ones, you can spot little things that date the photos....like round Skyway buckets barely visible in one pic, and the point of the TWA Rocket sticking up above the trees in a Frontierland pic. I'll post more scans from the book in the future.TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440013033477237104.post-41451917964724115022011-06-11T09:49:28.363-07:002011-06-11T09:49:28.363-07:00I wish I grew up in California, and got to go on s...I wish I grew up in California, and got to go on school field trips to Disneyland. Great trip report and memorabilia, TokyoMagic! I love the Grad Party '78 Matterhorn ticket.<br /><br />I know my imagination would have run wild after seeing the Big Thunder construction wall. I'm glad the attraction model is on display at the Disneyland Hotel (complete with its tiny goat figure).<br /><br />The Dumbo ride vehicle picture looks like the old "ear-flapping" version.<br /><br />And it's always good to see classic retro Mickey, on that sign and on the shopping bags!Dan Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14818108201214059180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440013033477237104.post-14427116193918363962011-06-11T00:06:46.519-07:002011-06-11T00:06:46.519-07:00You even saved your parental consent form and the ...You even saved your parental consent form and the school ticket receipt from 33 years ago! Tokyo, you are the champion archivist.<br /><br />Carrie B. has some mighty cool shades she's wearing.<br /><br />Your Kodak Instamatic was smokin' that day. I can actually make out the outline of the Abominable.

But I did get rid of some Knott's, Universal and Magic Mt. stuff.....D'OH!<br /><br />Thufer, thank you! I enjoyed recalling the memories. I feel like I better start documenting some of my early DL trips while I can still remember some of this stuff!<br /><br />Major, I'm sure my Mom gave me the $8 for the trip. I never noticed, but I do see an "-angs" behind that band. I guess The Establishment had the night off and maybe Sunshine Balloon wasn't playing at the park yet. I also wish they had included the geysers for Big Thunder, but I guess if they had then we probably wouldn't have gotten to keep some of the Rainbow Ridge buildings. Actually, I wish they had just left Nature's Wonderland where it was and that way we could still have both!TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440013033477237104.post-58390086921439794042011-06-09T07:43:36.543-07:002011-06-09T07:43:36.543-07:00Great stuff!

Love the pictures of your friend with the pasted on head because now they are odd! Is that the Mustangs playing in Tomorrowland (in that book photo)? Wish they had included the geysers for Big Thunder, but oh well.Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440013033477237104.post-74170848156424882292011-06-09T07:41:36.662-07:002011-06-09T07:41:36.662-07:00What a wonderful story and memories.

When I turned 17, I thought I was too cool for Disneyland stuff so I threw it all away! Yes, that's right, I threw it all away, including a Disneyland map that had been on my wall for about 3 years. I could shoot myself now.<br /><br />This brought back so many memories for me! I have to go back and look at everything again!Connie Morenohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14112860706520621190noreply@blogger.com
