    The good ole days when Disneyland was an amusement park where families could go anytime of the year to have fun, enjoy the day, and im sure it was affordable to bring the whole family. Now its like Corporate Disneyland; make reservations and black out days. I don't think Walt had intentions for what it has become.

    To me in my opinion, Disneyland was way better back in those days than it is today.

    That is because it wasn't so crowded. I was there in the fifties too.

    Pirates of the Carribean is open so it has to be at least 1967.

    This gives us an appreciation for modern software that can remove the frame jitter and the dust artifacts. But thanks for the memories.

    This is Disneyland as Walt envisioned it. It was fabulous but is no more. Todays Disneyland is a cash cow for the Disney Corporation and has taken on the personna of the money whore it has been turned into.

    Late 1950's. Just when Disney was beginning to gobble up kids.
