I was thinking earlier today when I used to go to Disneyland it was not crowds in the streets, we were on the sidewalks on Main St. the Hotel? On Main Street had huge ledgers you could place your name and date you visited the park. We did that on many visits. A host or hostess would allow you to choose past books you had signed in the past and fun to look back on your old signature.
The good ole days when Disneyland was an amusement park where families could go anytime of the year to have fun, enjoy the day, and im sure it was affordable to bring the whole family. Now its like Corporate Disneyland; make reservations and black out days. I don't think Walt had intentions for what it has become.
This is Disneyland as Walt envisioned it. It was fabulous but is no more. Todays Disneyland is a cash cow for the Disney Corporation and has taken on the personna of the money whore it has been turned into.
Not to mention a dangerous woke machine!! Now you have rabid animals actually beating other people up into hospital- ghetto thugs contaminating the place like animals - whole gangs - beating innocent people so bad they went into hospital!! It is disgusting today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I never rode that train until about 10 years ago - thought I was going to die from all the carbon monoxide fumes in those tunnels LOL. Had the worst headache all night. still cool though.
we were the ones who really made Disney profitable, the TV generation of the 1950's. Prior to that Walt existed from movie to movie. Once Disneyland began to show a profit and the TV series became successful Walt could pay off all his debts
The Tahitian terrace was a wonderful restaurant with a memorable show it was near the jungle cruise. This is a very thorough home movie.
To me in my opinion, Disneyland was way better back in those days than it is today.
AMEN!!!
yours and about a million former annual pass holders like me!
That is because it wasn't so crowded. I was there in the fifties too.
Fabulous footage. Thank you. Great memories of a more simple and more fun Disneyland. More organically interactive. Thanks again.

I’m definitely going to watch this on the big screen. Thanks so much for this precious film.
Just look at those nice family well built cars, incredible machines! 😍
That's the Disney I recall. Totally worth the $3 entry fee!
Bring back memories !
Used to have a movie camera & film Disneyland back in the 60s !
Those where the days !
A real cool Babes in Toyland exhibit. Must have been film from 1961-62.
Pirates of the Carribean is open so it has to be at least 1967.
the kid who slaps tiny mickey is hilarious

Very nice, thank you for sharing!
It begins in December 1961 based on the Babes in Toyland exhibit on Main Street.
Loved Bear Country Jamboree....is Tom Sawyers Island still there?
13:10 - The year is 1968.
The park, putting on a show.
Thanks so much for this! 🙂
Amazing quality!!!
This gives us an appreciation for modern software that can remove the frame jitter and the dust artifacts.
But thanks for the memories.
No it doesn't lol
Its A Small World is in the video. It's from at least 1966

This was actually recorded post-1966 (Maybe 1968 not 58)
Has to be at least 69 when the Haunted Mansion opened...
When it was magical affordable and you got to ride everything,unlike the money grabbing concern that it has become today😥

It gave me an Asthma attack.
Bring back the scantily clad native american dancers 🙏 ❤🔥 😂
ah, yes! Back when large corporations paid their fair share of taxes! (48%)
Is this your video ? You should know when you recorded it if it is
This is what MAGA means.
When Disney was Disney.
Late 1950's.
Just when Disney was beginning to gobble up kids.
