Thanks for posting this, deejdigsdis! I love seeing the clothes from back then!

Yes, I doubt I'll be telling my brothers any time soon that I posted this picture! Can you imagine taking little girls to Disneyland dressed like this, as far as trips to the bathroom go? :scared1: Very cool thread, by the way. I'm excited to go back and look at all the pictures. I've made it through the first few pages and you've got some really great ones. Thanks for sharing!

Seeing all of these pictures makes me realize one thing. Whoever came up with the idea of queing up for character meet and greets was a genius!!

It's kind of funny seeing all these random people in your character shots. This one is worth the random man on the right, just because of those ears he's wearing!

Thanks for revitalizing this thread, love it!

I was wondering about the man with the girly looking mouse ears too, but wasn't going to say anything because I was afraid you might be related to him and I didn't want to offend! :lmao:

Thanks for posting those great black and white pictures, PrincessShmoo! :thumbsup2 I loved them. It's great seeing how things were back when Disneyland was new! And I love the clothes. Your Dad wore a suit, mine did too! :)

My mom always made our clothes so we would match. My dad was in the Army at the time, so a suit was "dressed down".

Great pictures PrincessShmoo! Wow, were you the only ones there that day?? ;)

You know, I don't really remember :laughing:

Maybe people were more polite about getting in other people's pictures at the different locations. Or DL was so new that going at Christmas wasn't a thing to do then.

Where did they do those train photos? I never saw that. At first glace I though you were Hayley Mills! :)

My scanner isn't working for some reason so I can't put new pictures in now. :sad2: Guess I could always take a picture of them...

What a compliment! :hug:I LOVE Hayley Mills (Pollyanna, The Parent Trap, The Moon Spinners!) :cheer2:

We had those pictures taken on Main Street. I have this one hanging in my kitchen. Our silohettes (my kid's are in Mouse Ears) are in the hall. :lovestruc

Yes, please, if anyone has any older pictures, share them with us! I would love to keep this thread alive. I love seeing everyone's memories. :grouphug:

We saw Walt Disney at Disneyland and my Mom was able to get his picture. I believe this was also in 1964.

This is so funny...I scanned this picture tonight to send to my sister who asked me for a copy...I have looked at this picture a thousand times and never noticed until tonight that that is the Prime Minister of India; Nehru with Walt Disney! So this picture is actually even more historical than I thought!

I love this thread, I've kept it on my UserCP for the longest time. I should look through my mom's old pictures from when I was a kid (80's) and see if I have any worthy of placing here. They are not good quality from what I remember. Some of these here look so great for being 20-40 years old!

There are clowns behind him, so I'm wondering if he's supposed to look clown-like. It looks really funny, though.

Found a very scary Minnie... what is up with her eyes?!?

If you ever wonder see yesterland.com, that is a really fun site.

It's cool to think at one time there was more Peter Pan stuff. Though would you prefer it or Dumbo which wasn't always the classic DL attraction that we think it is today?

It's really cool IMO that they put it in DLparis. To me it's seemed so long forgotten. Nastalgia.

I had posted these two in a new thread, but they should be here, so I'll put them here too. I'm not sure what year they were taken, but the little boy is my dad, who was born in 1953. I'm no good with guessing kids ages.

My dad with his grandmother. This one has "Disneyland" written on the back.

There are a few other pictures I've found that I'm not sure if they are at Disneyland or not. Either they're frontierland or some ghost town. My dad isn't in them, so I can't compare his outfit to see if they were taken on the same day. My dad never mentioned going to Disneyland as a kid, but its nice to know that he was there.

Posted a link to pics of my mom and aunt (http://www.flickr.com/photos/jamie_t/sets/72157627200892021/) in another thread. They're high-res scans of color slides from 1957 or 1958. Now that I see there's a stagecoach, I think I might have a couple more to add to that set. Have to go back and check...

Edited to add: Nevermind. Entirely different stagecoach in a rural setting.

Just finished the thread and saw someone (Sherry?) saying they had a ton of slides. If you want to get those in digital form, I recommend doing it now rather than waiting. There are only a few mid-to-high quality slide scanners left on the market. I ended up settling for a flatbed with slide and film modes that does a good job but not great. 5-10 years ago, I would have had a much wider selection from which to choose.

FYI, LivingSocial has a deal today for $35 for $100 worth of digitization of Old Photos or Movies. I didn't look into details, so I'm not sure how it works with old pictures, but I just thought I'd share.

So many great pictures!! Next time I'm visiting my parents I'll take pictures of the photos from our family's past Disneyland trips - there's my parent's honeymoon in 1985, my first trip in 1994 (when I was 6!) and my second trip in 1999 (a little borderline for "nostalgia" but I might slip some in! :p).

Ahh, MNMRMUSTARD; you made my day! :flower3: I debated with myself whether or not I should start this because I thought maybe no one would be interested in my old pictures :confused3 and the thread would quickly die. :eek: But I am so excited every time I see someone post their memories on here. :cheer2: I love seeing each and every one. :banana: So sorry that you lost your pictures! :sad1: That is awful. I have a bunch of Super8 films, I must have them transferred to DVD soon. ;)

Thank you SO much for starting this thread, I love seeing everyone's old Disneyland pictures.

My Dad actually went to Disneyland during the opening month!! I need to ask him if there are any pictures from his trip. He has told us that he remembers all of the orange trees around DL. He also remembers Walt strolling around the park! It's so fun he was able to experience that! :)
