Want to stroll down Main Street of Disneyland in 1956?

If this link does not work, go to NYTimes online and search for
Who killed the Disneyland Dream article, with a link to a home movie highlighting a trip to Disneyland in the late fifties. Fascinating! It was narrated in 1995, and runs about 35 minutes long. Thought some of you oldies but goodies like myself could put yourself in the shoes of the kids who won the prize. Enjoy!

Wow -- that was totally awesome, especially for someone (me) who visited DL in 1957 (and has ancestors from Wethersfield). Thank you for posting that link. The added narration is really fun -- the family (and the mysterious extra photographer) did a great job. I teared up at the end. Delightful!!!

(Wish I seen this before my nostalgia trip to DL a year ago: http://www.travelblog.org/Bloggers/mecllap/page-1.html )

Thanks again!

Here's a link to the movie... DisneylandDream
