Nothing to See Here...

I have been busily scanning my little heart out today. I dug up the dusty photo albums and have been scanning lots of DL pictures that date back to the '80s! I found one or two that go back as early as 1980 (my pictures from the '70s are in a box in another closet which is too hard to get to right now). And then I found a bunch from 1983 - 1994 (ones you have not seen yet), then a few from 1995. I am trying to figure out where my DL pictures from 2000 and 2001 are....but in the meantime, I am still scanning away. After I get all of these scanned, I have to upload to Photobucket OR Shutterfly - haven't decided yet - and then start posting here on this thread.

So stay tuned! I should be able to start getting things uploaded and posted by tomorrow. You will be able to see pictures of me when I was, gasp, 15 years old, and on through the years after that!!!! Yikes! And basically, since you have already seen me now and for the past couple of years in the DL 2007 & 2008 pictures, maybe I should change the name of this thread to "My Life in Pictures, via Disneyland..."
 
I miss the old fancy hats that they used to make and sell with the ribbons and stuff. They only sold them on Main Street and in New Orleans Square. I swore when I grew up I would buy one for myself but by the time I was a grown up they were gone.:sad:

Yep. A lot of the crazy hat pictures that I have been scanning today seem to have been taken in New Orleans Square. I just had forgotten that we were always trying on hats for pictures, but when you see the other stuff we were posing with, some silly hats won't seem all that odd!

I hate when things we get to like end up being removed from DLR. I wish there was a way they could retain everythng BUT keep expanding and adding things too. I was particularly sad while scanning a lot of the old DLH pictures and seeing the old toy shop that used to be there, as well as a couple of extra gift shops that are long gone. And I am still scanning!!! I am a scannin' fool today!!! Now the uploading to Photobucket will be a different process which will probably take forever because it is so darn slooooooooow!
 

Shutterfly is even slower. Do you remember the perfume shop from New Orleans square? Recently going through some things I had packed away my DH and my kids found one of the old octogon shaped boxes that the perfume got packed in. That is another shop I miss. And the one of a kind shop they had there too.

Oh is Shutterfly slower? I dread having to go over there eventually, but there won't be enough room on Photobucket to store eveything, so out of necessity I will have to go to Shutterfly and store some stuff.

Yes, I remember the perfume shop in NOS! And the One of a Kind shop. I was also recalling the crystal/glass shop that used to be in the DLH, as well as a little art gallery place and a sporting goods store next to the toy store. I really loved the old year-round Christmas shop that was located in Fantasyland. I know they put in a holiday-type place in New Orleans Square, but it is not the same! It seemed to fit better and make more sense in Fantasyland. For a little while they had a Villains shop in Fantasyland as well. All these fun places gone forever, into the DLR history books!

I really miss the old Disneyland Hotel from when I was a kid with the lagoon in the center and the Mountie bar whatever it was called. Oh there used to be this diner there that had wonderful homemade type food. I find the Christmas shop in New Orleans Square kind of sad.
 
And I forgot to mention that although Shutterfly is slow they have this one thing that I really like I can upload pictures to have developed and pick them up at Target in an hour. That is a nice thing like today when I needed to pick up the pictures for my daughter Kody's pictures for her Odessy project for English.
 
Hi SherryE!

I loved your skybucket/sub picture! I don't remember the subs being Yellow when the Skybuckets were still in use. At first I thought it was a cool Nemo sub photoshopped with the ole sky buckets! LOL

I remember the subs only as gray. But, my memory is a little bit smokey... I mean..er... cloudy... of the skybuckets anyway. lol

Did I hear you say you had more pics coming??
 
Cool pics are coming here. Really awesome. I'll be looking on my old photos and post here later.

Have a nice day everyone. :)
 
I loooooooved the pictures Sherry :)

Its so cool that you're scanning these in for all of us to see. I don't have many pictures of me when I was little at DLR, but I do have some. I should really scan them in so you can see !! I even have pictures with Kaycee, Patrick, Jesse and I as little kids at DL. Its so funny to see!

I can't wait to see more !!!
