Disneyland: 1956

"Of course in Disneyland it's the gaudy, gilded circus of the good ole days."

I love Walt leading the parade! Can you imagine something like that today?

Six Swans! Four of them black! I miss the black swans. I remember there being just one in the park when I was a kid.

And the beautiful horses - the matched white pair pulling the fire engine and the matched black pair, and the Clydesdale wearing a bonnet!

I wonder of the classic car club meet was sort of like Bats Day or Gay Day?

The "authentic" feel of Main Street was so much more prevalent then. They really put a lot more effort into it then than they do now.

I wonder if it's still going on - I recall one afternoon when we accidentally ran into a similar parade with vehicles like this:

THAT was fabulous! I'm assuming the source for this was a 16mm school print? Looks like one of the many Disney produced films I saw in school in the 1960s. These would be something fun for Disney to release on DVD, especially if they travel to the other lands.

I loved the calliope and the vintage autos. Do they still open DL to car clubs like that?
