Picture of me at Disneyland 1970. Who is this character?

[SueM in MN]

Dorry to hear about your mom.
Nice to have the pictures to look back at though. After my FIL died 2 years ago, it was hard to look at the pictures, but it sure is nice to have them now.

Thanks for the recent photo. I have never seen him out. I need a new updated picture with me and the Walrus. I hope to see him someday!

I think you just need to keep visiting until you get that updated picture.

And, I wouldn't be too efficient at looking for him until, Oh, maybe 5 visits from now.
I agree with everyone else that he is rare, so you ought to be able to get a least a few visits out of looking for him.

I posted these on the "Now and Then" thread, but thought you guys might like them just to see the difference in how Pooh looks. Here's our family pic with him in 1997:

And look at how much different he looks a decade later (of course WE look a bit different too!):

Great photos! I looked back at our 2000 photos and Pooh looks like he does in your second photo. So I guess he changed shortly after 1997. Thanks for sharing.

I'm sorry to hear about your mother MomPoppins, my thoughts are with you. But I do love those socks.

And the old school Keds! I think I had a pair in every color.

Sorry to read that about your mom, MP.

And very neat pictures too, MP and Marcie.

Okay, I went through my old pics. The first shot was in April of 1997. We went back again in December of 1998, and Pooh hadn't changed by that time:

(And yeah, I realize we're all wearing the same clothes!).

OK, I officially want you to live next door to me. That is the perfect combination of sincerity and oddball humor that I so appreciate!

If you don't mind, I think I'll move next to you since you are closer to Disney than I am.

I was thinking of posting a picture of me from the 80s and well, that's would be really scary.

But you all look so darn cute. And, the picture of your boys in your siggie is AAAAhhhdorable.

Maybe Poohs costume changed in 1999? We were there in September of 2000 for our fist visit. The only other picture I found of me at Dsineyland is blurry but it says Disneyland on the back 1970 and I am on a real pony? Still trying to figure out if they really had live pony rides back then.

I am gald to see that Pooh recovered from the steroid treatment in the later shots

'Moon faces' in a bear can be quite a problem

DL once had a Pack Mule ride.Could this be what you are thinking of? It was in the area where BTMRR now is along with Train ride through Natures Wonderland and the Conestoga Wagons.

Thanks! We've been working all day on packing away old summer clothes and digging out all the winter stuff. I just packed the last bathing suit that looked like that away! We had those three, then bought a larger size for one of them to grow into. I think it's like a 10/12, which none of my boys are even close to any more(and in the pic weren't either - but because they were too small then!). I just put it in the garage sale pile this afternoon - what a sad moment!

We went to WDW in 2000, but I looked through and I guess we didn't do Crystal Palace that time since I don't have any pics of Pooh from that visit. I did go back to our trip in 1995 (I was pregnant with the youngest DS then!) and the older two are still in the SAME shirts (and Pooh still obviously has the old look!):

OMG!!! I have a Pic of POOH like that!!!!!!!!!! I am sure glad they "changed" him.

 

[I believe]

Sorry about your mom, Mom Poppins.

It is fun to see all of your older pictures! My dad scanned this one of my brother and me with Dreamfinder and Figment.

I hope they find Dreamfinder some day!

My guys with Dreamfinder and Figment:

We miss him too!

Thought you guys might like to see your pics with a little noise reduction and color correction:

I believe they had "trail rides" through Frontierland at Disneyland in the 70s still. Maybe that's what it was?
