Wednesday Evenings at 7.30: DISNEYLAND !

I had wanted to visit DISNEYLAND since I was in junior high in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in the middle 1950s.

By 1955 my family had finally gotten a television set, a relatively huge RCA Victor floor model. And so every Wednesday evening at 7.30 the flames of my consuming desire to visit Anaheim, California, were fanned by Uncle Walt's weekly progress reports on his very own Magic Kingdom rising out of the orange groves of southern California.

But I didn't get there until 1971. This blog will present some vintage photographs from that momentous event.

To be continued.....

FANTASYLAND, September 1971


Enjoy. :)

  1. Interesting that you first visited Disneyland a month before WDW opened. When did you first visit WDW?

    Looking forward to more photos and recollections, Ross!
