Here is something interesting as well as something I had never seen before. If you look at the bottom of this picture, you can see "Fantasyland" painted on the side of that building. I don't think I had ever seen this before. BTW-what is that building? This is from a 1959 film I had converted from 16mm to digital.

What an amazing view. The change in the relative locations of the teacups & Dumbo is fascinating. And that pirate ship and skull rock! They really need to find a spot to bring those back. Across from Small World by the pond maybe?
Any books show the changes in the layout of the park throungh the years? It would be cool to have a series of maps drawn to scale to compare."Disneyland is a work of love. We didn't go into Disneyland just with the idea of making money." - Walt Disney

And for any new MiceChatters who might not know who oldhotelguy is, he's Don Ballard, the world's top authority on the history of the original Disneyland Hotel -- he literally wrote the book(s)!"Disneyland is often called a magic kingdom because
it combines fantasy and history, adventure and learning,
together with every variety of recreation and fun,
designed to appeal to everyone."
