I was born almost exactly a year later on April 22, 1992. Being born in Fountain Valley and raised in Anaheim 5 minutes from Disneyland I’ve gotten to experience the park many times. I don’t remember the Skyway even though it closed down in 1994 and I had my first trip in 1993 at age 1.

You don't realize how much Disney is losing its way until you see the Disneyland I remember. Beautiful kinetics. Attention to detail. Calm. Sightlines. Happy people. Escape from drama. Or you can go now and break your back to accommodate them. Deal with really upset cast members who have to be the moral police all day before retiring to sleeping in their car harassed by tweekers and cops. Cheypek- I'm coming for you. I want your job. You suck at it. Make Disneyland great again. (This neither means start a cult or riot. However I can live with a coup).

This is a wonderful document. I hadn't realized how massive the Matterhorn looks from that height. I really wish I could have seen it in person. Another important loss: Look at those "crowds" compared to now. You used to be able to stroll through the park without the wall of human resistance and packs of stroller brigades dominating the field. You could actually enjoy the park and relax. Disneyland was so superior then. Thanks for sharing.

What a pity that Walt Disney never allowed any black kids to be Mouseketeers, so that they too could feel "as welcome as can be". What a good and deep and profound change that might have had on the world, how mournful that such an opportunity was lost.
@lonnieburr3 жыл бұрын
Actually bronxbearbud, two Talent Roundup episodes, Friday in the Western Costumes, featured black kids, which is NOT what had happened on TV before 1955. Not enough, of course, but a reading of history and viewing of other kid's shows and evening adult series TV shows will show you are not completely correct. On the second version of the series, The NEW Mickey Mouse Club there were blacks, Asians, and so on but that was in the 1970s. Mouseketeer Lonnie Burr.

@7toedcat Clearly you don't like what I said about Walt Disney forbidding children of color from appearing on the Mickey Mouse Club. But why are you even commenting? You just told us to look the other way and say nothing if we don't like something. Why aren't you living by the rules you want to impose on others? Why are you being a spoiled brat and interfering with my comment and its simple call for fairness by whining about it. Just don't look, remember?

@@psycho81212 Disneyland's one was also the same type. They were all Von Roll VR101's. Interesting story, Von Roll VR101's were the world's first detachable ski lifts ever developed. The first one was built in Flims(Switzerland) in 1945, unfortunately replaced in 1986. The one currently there is nice too however, I rode it once.(NOT the original 1945 one, the 1986 one I rode) Still several in America but just one we have here in Europe, it's the oldest detachable monocable ski lift worldwide!
