VINTAGE Disneyland 🏰 🎡 1988 Tour
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 окт 2020
- Let's go back to 1988 Disneyland in Anaheim, California! We'll take a walking tour and ride some rides. Check out a few of the highlights: The original Disneyland sign and the front entrance; Town Square with character meet-and-greets and Main Street Transportation; Tomorrowland, including a ride on the Peoplemover, monorail to the Disneyland Hotel, the submarines and Autopia; a ride on the Skyway through Matterhorn Mountain; See Splash Mountain under construction as we travel the Rivers of America on the Mark Twain Riverboat; see Big Thunder Mountain and the Jungle Cruise; Alice in Wonderland dark ride and It's a Small World, and we'll end with the Main Street Electric Light Parade.
There are a few specific goals of Travel Towner:
1. To take fun POV (“Point-of-View”) videos of scenic drives, highways, and roadways so you can virtually travel anywhere you like; or look back at a time when you were younger.
2. Document a fun walking tour of a specific park, attraction, or point of interest so you can see what's it's like to really be there.
3. Showcase vintage footage from yesteryear to show today's viewers what is may have been like back in 19- something something! If you have any vintage footage of past attractions, parks, road trips or anything interesting from the USA? Contact me and let’s feature it here!
4. Just for Fun. These are videos that are funny or interesting in some way that I think everyone will enjoy!
Please give a "thumbs up" if you like taking a POV Road Trip or love POV driving.
Want to get in on the fun and make cool videos too? Here is everything I use to make it happen:

Another big part of the channel is to document a piece of Americana… at a certain point in time. Wouldn’t it be cool to go back to where you lived, 20 or 30 years ago, and take a ride through your hometown? As more roadway drives, walking tours, and vintage trips are added, it builds history so future viewers can go “back in time” and see what it was like, back then.
Roadtripping and traveling are uniquely American pastimes- and we should preserve it’s history- so future generations can appreciate the Freedom of the Road.

For comments about the music- I feel ya! However- some of the original audio in the Disneyland Background triggered the RUclips copyright bots. Rather than have silent video, I overlaid some copyright-free music to compensate/blur the audio. I really wish it ALL was original background sounds and music- but RUclips ain't havin' it. Sorry about that! 😀
You know you're getting old when you remember 1988 like it was yesterday, but then realize that most of the kids in this video are now well into their 40s!!
I know, right? Time flies with the memories of vintage Disneyland. Thank you so much for watching!
I was 8 that year..now 43...it was truly magical going 2 Disneyland back then..now when i take my own children its a nightmare..
I was thinking the same thing - you know you're getting old when the year you turned 12 is considered "vintage" and "retro."
I was born in 1988😊
I was so happy to be kid in the 80s and Disneyland was the real deal in that time
Miss THIS Disneyland. So much is gone. Miss the old parking lot.
Agreed- thank you for commenting! :)
I too miss the old parking lot and the magic of riding your first ride "The Parking Lot Tram".😉 Also the anticipation while going up to the entrance.
@@AlanTherby From the monorail… “You’ve probably already spotted your car”
And the submarine😢
I miss this Disneyland
Me too! Thank you for commenting and watching!
Tomorrowland was so amazing back then. So much kinetic energy. Everything was in motion, Skyway, Peoplemover and the "Astro Orbiter" was were it belonged. It's like a kiddie ride now. Up another 50 feet made it much more of a thrill. Thanks for this vid!
Amazing, right? The old school vibe here is completely immersive. Wish we had a lot more of that today. Thank you for watching and commenting- I really appreciate that! :)
It certainly was.
This makes zero sense
This is Disneyland as it can never be again. I am glad I got to experience it in this form and I mourn for the future generations that will never get the chance.
I'm so happy this video was able to provide some great memories for you! Thank you for watching and supporting the channel! :)
@@TravelTowner Thank you for making it.
Yea fr 231-300 a damn ticket now
Summer of 88 was Amazing, I was 16.. hanging out with friends, the music was awesome. I visited disneyland twice that year.
So glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching!
I am grateful I got to see it as it was. Such a different energy back then. The park is so different these days. I miss the old school Disney feeling more every day.
It is most definitely a different vibe today. I hope this video gave you warm memories of the place you love. Thank you so much for watching! :)
I was 11 years old and this is the Disneyland I remember and miss thanks for the time travel back to a simple time.
Than you for commenting- I am glad you enjoyed the video! :)
This was the Disneyland I knew at 10 years old! The eighties were a magical decade at the Happiest Place on Earth. I imagine the footage was taken with one of those chunky camcorders?! Kudos to you for toting it around the park all day! No small feat.
@@charmingjen1419 You are absolutely right- a giant camera compared to the gopros and phones of today, haha. Thank you for watching and commenting!
I was 17.
I’m a 2000s kid, in fact my parents would’ve been 18 in 1988, so I was not around when this video was shot. this doesn’t give a feeling of nostalgia, but rather… awe? it’s so cool seeing attractions I’m familiar with unchanged or similar to how they are now. those people, way back then experienced the same thing I’m able to experience today. some things have changed, yes, but it gives a sense of togetherness. thanks for the video.
So happy you enjoyed it! I really appreciate your thoughts and taking the time to watch... thank you! :)
As an 11 year old kid from Australia, i was lucky enough that my parents took me and my brother to Disneyland in 1988. I still remember how fun and memorable it was. I just visited Disneyland this time with my 10 year old son and wife. And we had a great time.
I am very happy you got to experience this back then! It was like a completely different park. Glad you were also able to come back and continue those memories. I really appreciate you watching and commenting- thank you!
So glad you had a wonderful time. I'm local and love meeting Australians at the park or vacationg in Los Angeles. You guys always bring the best vibes. Come back soon.
Glad I grew up around the corner and went there a lot in the 70’s. You couldn’t pay me to go now
Lots of great memories from back then for sure. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
Oh the memories this digs up 🥹☺️
no kidding, right? Thank you for watching!
I so miss late 80s/early 90s Disney. We’d always go in the October timeframe, so never a need for fast passes (good thing, because they didn’t have them yet 🙃). So much nostalgia!
Now there is no "slow season" unfortunately. :)
@@TravelTowner because all there guests are influencers and have to get paid . In a way Disneyland is now for employees only ..... sad as fuck
I went there with my younger brother at the end of 88, that is exactly how I remember it.
So glad I was able to help bring back some happy memories... I really appreciate you watching and enjoying the videos. Thank you!!
Old time magic, I love it.
So glad you enjoyed re-living those old memories. I really appreciate you watching and posting! :)
Grad night 85...loved the people mover and skway....
Attractions that are REALLY missed.
The days I spent much time there…it was so great…thanks
So glad you have great memories. I thank you for watching and commenting! :)
Thank you for this! i loved 80s disneyland so much.
So glad you enjoyed it and it brought back great memories for you. Thank you for watching!
Oh man, I miss these days at Disneyland. I loved the skyway. It would always get me nervous when it would vibrate when it rolled thru the pillars😃 Thank you for the video
You and me both! So glad you enjoyed the video- thank you for watching! :)
Oh my goodness 😍 love it! The golden years of Disney.
Thank you for watching and commenting- I really appreciate it!
I was 9 years old back in '88 but this is pretty much how I remember Disneyland too. My family only went once a year so it had been a big thing. I shake my head seeing that line for Star Tours as I remember seeing it in person at that time and how it took so long and seeing the posted signs of "One hour from this point" or something similar and bemoaning the wait. Then there had been the dinner's we would eat at that one place on Main Street. I can't recall the name but if I remember right it was towards the right side of Cinderella's Castle/Tomorrowland and it was a buffet like line.
The Autopia in both Tomorrowland and Fantasyland were among my favorites and I loved going on the Monorail. For some reason the whole Mission to Mars thing terrified me even though we never went on it but I never liked the idea of going on it. Space Mountain was the other big line wait job and I remember thinking it was lucky if the line started just after going up that ramp. Of course leaving it my parents always had to steer me away from the arcade which I always attempted to make a beeline towards.
The Skyway was odd as I was half terrified of being up high but still interested in seeing how the park looked from up there but I always found arriving at the stations fascination with that big rotating wheel pulling on the cables.
Fun times and fun memories.
Wow- thank you! I love that you have so many memories from that time. I really appreciate you watching and commenting- thank you so much! 😀😀
"Ladies and gentlemen, Disneyland has now ended its normal operating day. We hope you've enjoyed your visit to the Magic Kingdom and that you'll be back with us again soon . Drive carefully on your way home. Goodnight!" Man... 1988... I was 18 years old back then. This is the Disneyland I remember so fondly. Still irks me that Skyway and PeopleMover are gone. Those rides brought much-needed life and movement to the park. Tomorrowland is a shell of its former self today. Thanks so much for posting this video. Like and sub enthusiastically given!
I really appreciate that! Thank you for your kind words and watching. I hope to have more up real soon!
Damn, when did everyone get so cynical? I loved the park back then and I love it now. My mom is 74 and we still visit a couple times a year. My 10 year old niece and 7 year old nephew love the park just as much as I did when I was a kid in the '70s and '80s.
I get it- there are plenty of things about Disney still to love. I think the increased pricing (way more than average inflation) and the separate nickel-and-diming that the company has implemented simply rub people the wrong way. Thanks so much for watching and commenting- I really appreciate it! :)
Oh such good memories. I lived 4 miles away and a basic pass was well worth getting. They were open till 1 am on Sunday nights all year so you could go ride everything. Seemed to be a little known fact so it wasn't crowded. Back then if you came late, the parking was clearing out and it was easy to park right by the entry gates. That Disneyland is gone forever but I'm grateful to have experienced it
So gald I helped bring back great memories. I really appreciate you watching and commenting. Thank you so much! :)
Great!!! Thanks! Brings back memories.
Really glad you enjoyed it- brings back big memories for me, as well. Thank you for watching and subscribing! :)
Wow that splash under construction!
And soon to be -de-constructed... thank you so much for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it! :)
Loved this so much! Although super sad to see those poor horses pulling all of those people on that streetcar in the SoCal heat 😢
I was 10 in 1988, living in Glendale and must-have been to Disneyland a dozen times. Some of my favourite memories of all time were at Disneyland ❤
I really miss the old hotel! The awesome front gift shop, monorail cafe, neon cactus, the remote control cars, the huge waterfall, the smaller pool in the back with the sandy beach, seaports of the pacific shops...
There is plenty of nostalgia there, for sure. What a great memory to have! thank you for watching!
@thebluetarp:
Yes, the old Disneyland Hotel was almost like a mini-Disneyland within itself! I LOVED being there! I still have a couple items I purchased at the Seaports Of The Pacific gift shop wharf. And when I have trouble falling asleep at night, I'll mentally see myself back there, walking around the Disneyland Hotel, or sitting on a little patio in front of The Bottle Shop, near the swimming pool, where I'd relax with lunch. That usually stills my mind to the point that I'll fall asleep.
@@D-FensDogG we stayed in the garden rooms quite often. And my wife and I even camped in a tent once at the Disney campground up the road. We were able to use all the hotel pools. Imagine tent camping at Disneyland! I actually have some cool photos of the construction of DCA from the upper floors of the adventure tower. They are actually on eBay right now as we speak.
@@thebluetarp That's pretty cool. Although I never stayed there, I distinctly recall the campground because I walked past it many times on my way to the hotel.
.
I only stayed at the hotel once - in the Sierra tower, overlooking the marina - because I lived just 45 minutes away. For 6 or 7 years, I had an annual pass, so very often I would just drive there after work to spend a few hours in D'Land and/or at the hotel.
.
That was a wonderful time in my life, leaving bittersweet memories, knowing that it's gone forever.
My friends and I worked there in 1988. I worked in Tomorrowland at both the Star Trader and the Premiere Shop. The Premiere Shop is now the Buzz Lightyear ride.
I'm so happy this video was able to bring back the happy times you were there sharing magic with guests. I may have ran into you- haha! Thank you for watching. :)
Was the premier shop the one that had the family size phone booths?
@@moniquemc4553 That’s the one. 😆
@@moniquemc4553 I don't recall that- maybe someone else can chime in?
@@TravelTowner they were in a store in Tomorrowland. Right in the area of the Buzz Lightyear ride. Right across from Star Tours. They were cool. I always remember (while they were still there) every time our family would visit Disney we’d go in and call at least one friend.
I remember riding the mark twain and seeing splash mountain under construction.
Splash Mountain under construction- about to go under de-construction. Time flies, yes? Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Tenia 3 años cuando me llevaron por primera vez a Disneyland en 1988 y recuerdo muchisimos detalles, sin duda fue algo que marco mi infancia y este video me trajo hermosos recuerdos.
So glad you enjoyed the video. I really appreciate you watching and commenting. Thank you! :)
Thank you for this... I was there that summer, I was 15 and rode as much as I could. You brought that back with feeling, so again...thank you!
So glad this video was able to bring you back to happy memories. Thank you for watching videos on this channel! :)
i was on my 2nd year as an annual pass holder in 1988. my best friend jim (rip) and i went so much back then i half expected to see us in some of this video! that's some pretty cool views of splash mtn. under construction. the footage of tomorrowland makes me sad and nostalgic.
Too bad you weren't caught in any of the shots. Glad it brought back good memories for you!
How much was it?!?!
@@RiskRewardTrading1 the annual pass? i think it was around $120 for the year. no payment plans, just a flat fee. a single day ticket back then was $25, maybe less. there were no AP tiers, just one,and they all included parking and no blackout dates. in the early 90s they started in with the different prices and blackout dates.
OMG! I remember this! My parents took my younger brother and I. I was 7 and he was 2! What an amazing memory.
So glad you have that memory- Disneyland is much different today for sure. Thank you for watching!
Love this vid it felt like I was time traveling back to 1988 and the energy level for Disneyland was just right and it felt natural seeing the parking lot for Disneyland before it became dca what a time to be alive in the 80s
So true! Thank you for watching and commenting. I really appreciate that- thank you! :)
Lots of those people in the crowd may not be with us anymore, kids in the strollers are now in their upper 30's to early 40's and that place still looks the same.
That's the weird thing to think about for sure! Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the great trip down memory lane! I especially loved the skyway and was so sad when they took it down.
Thank you for watching and commenting... I really miss the old Skyway as well. :(
Thanks for taking the time to stabilize the footage. It adds so much.
That's the only way I could watch it as well... haha! Thank you for watching. :)
This was peak Disneyland. Great vid, man. Thanks for the memories.
You are not kidding my friend! Happy the video was able to give you the good feels. Thank you for watching and commenting. :)
Lol wow that was great! It’s amazing to relive the people movers and gondolas etc! 100 acre parking lot now DCA. Watched the whole dirt pile construction!
Such a trip back in time. Thank you for watching and commenting- I appreciate that! :)
Loved 80s Disneyland. I have a pic of me and my two sisters on the Skyway. I’ll cherish those days forever.
It was a different world back then for sure. Thank you for commenting and watching the videos! :)
Dang I miss the 80's!
No kidding. Simpler times. Thank you for watching and commenting! :)
@@TravelTowner And CHEAPER times.
I miss the old Disneyland less dark 🧐
Great video! Love the background music. My first trip to Disneyland was in 1994 so a lot of this Disneyland was still there when I visited for the first time.. In 1996 I moved from Massachusetts to Los Angeles where I lived for 20 years before relocating back to MA in 2015. Although I get back to SoCal at least once a year with my daughters who were born in Los Angeles, I do miss being able to drive 30 minutes south for a visit whenever I wanted. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for your kind comments! I really appreciate that. Glad I was able to bring up some great memories. Thank you again for watching and commenting. :)
Wonderful. ..Thanks for posting!❤
So glad you enjoyed it. I really appreciate you watching and commenting!
Fun Fact: That old Pluto costume is still being used today by cast members, only they have to spray it with Fabreze after every use.
SO many of those costumes have limitations- I totally get it. Thank you for watching and commenting- I really appreciate it!
I wasn't even born yet when this was made
Well then, I am glad you are able to see what it was like before you arrived- haha! Thanks so much for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it. :)
Ok so loved every bit of this, Great video. So awesome to see Splash under construction.
So glad you liked it! I only wish I had more of the construction footage. :)
I would've seen it under construction too but never seen the end result since I never went back! I think I went twice when I was there in '88.
@@notyetskeletal4809 Hope you can return when the world is back to normal. :)
Hope you enjoyed the video!
I most probably was working Guest Control out of the Emporium for this MSEP.
“If you’d like to watch the parade please move to the INSIDE of the ropes. We need to keep the sidewalk clear. Thank you!” 😜👍🏼😎
So true! Thank you for watching and commenting- I really appreciate that!
This is the year I was born! Yay! So cool
Glad this was able to take you "back in time" Thank you for watching and commenting!
Grew up here in Orange California this was great travel back in time
So glad the video brought back happy memories. Thank you for watching and commenting! :)
one of my favorite years at Disneyland! Miss Skyway and People mover. Hope rumors of its return are TRUE!!
I'd love that- the closest you get get now is the Skyliner at WDW. Thank you so much for watching and subscribing! :)
@@TravelTowner GREAT CHANNEL, Love to see pass videos and what is coming up in the future!
@@toshibavoodoo awesome- than k you! :)
That was great to see 80's Disneyland again. I went in 1985 and 1988 is pretty close. But 1985 had Adventure Thru Inner Space.
I missed Adventure thru Inner Space... glad you got to experience that! :)
You may recall that when in line for that ride, they have a display that made it look like the folks going in had been reduced in size dramatically. When I was very young I asked my mom how the people got so small.
@@jeffdeutsch must have been pretty convincing to a little kid, right!? :)
@@jeffdeutsch Yes I remember well. I was 11. The shrinking effect fooled me for a while, but I figured out the little figures were not real people. Either that or my dad told me. I was still confused about where the riders went once they entered the microscope. That is until we went in and I felt a sharp left turn.
Grad night 85
This is an awesome video! I love going to Disneyland in 1988. I wish I could've done it for real.
I hope this video gives you a good sense of what it was like. Thank you for watching! :)
@@TravelTowner Absolutely! It sure does!
Very fun video I went there, same year, I was 7. Don't remember much but being put in Baby Jail hehe after I got misplaced from my parents. From this video it sure seems JUST AS BUSY as it is now. Still love going though
It's a different vibe now... but YES the crowds are still maddening! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
1988. Vintage? Sheesh, thanks for making some of us feel old! And yes, I did get to visit Disneyland around that time. I was about 7 years old. Old enough to remember things but not old enough to appreciate the small details. See, back then Critter Country was known as".....zzzzzzzzz. "Where was I?"
Haha I get it! And I'm right there with ya!
July 1988 was the last time i visited Disneyland.
I'm glad it i a good memory for you! Thank you for watching and commenting- I really appreciate it.
I was 8! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching- I really appreciate it! :)
Too bad the kids of today will never get to experience how wonderful old Disneyland was I went there as a kid with my family and remember riding the old autopia cars and the motorboats the old Star tours etc never will be the same and all the young ones will never get to experience it like it was back then it was the best
It was truly amazing, right? We were lucky to live thorough it for sure! Thank you for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it.
So sad that Splash Mountain went away. I am sure the newer version will be good, but I will miss the OG too!
Truth to that. You could always go to Tokyo Disneyland- it is still there! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
disney now charges $12 to $18 for one fing ballon Let that sink in
Thanks for sharing, I was six years old in 1988 🙂
So glad you enjoyed watching and thank you for commenting- i really appreciate it! :)
@@TravelTowner Your welcome
1988 is that year where
. Mickey Mouse celebrates his 60th anniversary
. Disney acquired Disneyland Hotel
. America Sings closed for good in Tomorrowland and its animals were moved to the then upcoming Splash Mountain
. Roger Rabbit appears in the fall of that year
It was quite an amazing time back then. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
The simple times! The Better times! The affordable times 💯💯💯✅️✅️✅️
You got that right! Mostly about MORE AFFORDABLE. HaHa. Thank you for watching and commenting- I really appreciate it!
What a year! I was there and remember Star Tours the most, but also POTC when it wasn't infested with the movie and PC junk. Disneyland was a lot better then.
So glad this video was able to bring back those great memories for you. Thank you for watching- I really appreciate it! :)
I remember loving the Arcade in the Contemporary. Size of Walmart. My fav hotel.
What a great memory- thank you for watching and commenting... I really appreciate it!
Disney is the Best
Glad you liked it- Hope you enjoyed the vintage footage!
back in 1988, we went to Walt Disney World in Florida which was interstine because the railroad at Magic kingdom they did Birthday express. I wish that they did Birthday express at Disneyland CA not just Florida.
I remember that!
For a home video I really have to commend you on your camera work.
I certainly appreciate that- however this was put through a video stabilizer... haha! Thank you for watching and commenting. :)
@@TravelTowner Even still the overall framing is pretty decent. I wish I could have gone there.
YES! Great footage!
@@pault5557 Thank you- I appreciate that! :)
Daughter fav is Splash Mountain, she was shocked it was an original Disneyland ride. Very sad they are changing it...
Yes it appeared in Disneyland way back in 1989. It opened in the Magic Kingdom in the early 90's. Thank you for watching and commenting! :)
We took our kids there in 1981. We were bored out of our minds. Have never gone back.
That's a bummer that it did not live up to your expectations. Thank you for watching... I appreciate it! :)
Vell... I guess zehr ist just no pleasink some peoples!
The 5 Characters who were of my highest priority at that time.
Minnie > Aurora > Alice > Mary Poppins > Wendy
Always a fun time meeting characters- especially the rare ones! Thank you for watching!
This is amazing, I visited in 1990 so I remember this well. Mickey’s 60th Birthday float is amazing & I miss the Skyways.
New subscriber here, I have a retro channel too ☺️
So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching and commenting- I really appreciate that. :)
1988 was a dark year for Disneyland since America Sings had just closed that year.
I never got a chance to see America Sings... 😢 Thank you for watching!
7:48 I remember spending many a morning before the park opened at the Indian Village with a radio keeping a lookout on the canoe races.
Sounds like a great memory- thank you for sharing!
First time I wen to Disneyland was when I was 7 in '87 - remember all of this
Great memories to have and keep! Thank you for commenting!
❤
Thank you!
This was Disneyland at its best...it has only gone downhill since then. Furthermore, I believe this time slice of Disneyland is the epitome of Walt’s vision. Too bad wrong executives got into power to ruin it. The idea to build DCA was ludicrous (California within California???).
I think most people would have preferred to just enlarge the park and keep one admission fee. Disney Corporation, “Tear Down that Berlin Wall”... in the central plaza and unite!
What I would do (if I could):
Re-build the Peoplemover to travel through the entire double park area, with off-on stations scattered in a few key locations. Build an elevated motorized walkway above the conjoined park, from Harbor Blvd with the admission gates, trams, and extending to Downtown Disney and hotels. It can be done, using some of Walt’s wisdom.
Disneyland today is certainly different than if Walt were still around, I imagine. It's always fun to imagine what the park might be like in way different scenarios. I hope you enjoyed the video... and i really appreciate your thoughts and comments! :)
Man I miss when my mom took me to disnseyland in 1989 I miss it
No kidding, right!? Great days back then. Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it!
Awesome video!
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it! :)
No worries.. I spent a lot of time at Disneyland in the late 80's/early 90's. It was a lot of fun to watch..
I wonder when this was taken. My husband and I were there in August of 88. The 80's were a wonderful time.
This was June of 1988. :)
I was there in May of '88
They didn't have those horse drawn trolleys when I went there in May 8th 2023.
I beleive they are seasonal and only operate in the mornings... anyone know more?
thats when they replaced the Mark 3 Monorail trainset for the mark 5.
and now - those are barely holding together. Thank you for watching and commenting! :)
8:40 Squirt doesn’t have the water marks like he does now! Lookin good Squirt 🐘
Love that! :)
Wouldn't that be awesome if one of the kids getting their photos taken with the characters finds themselves in this video? Check out the lady with the huge camera at 1:59. Those were the days.
I'd love that story- haha! Please share the video and maybe we'll find out. 😃 Thanks for watching and commenting!
I was about 22.
If we could only go back and re-live those fun times. I am happy you enjoyed the video. 😀😀
nice
Thank you!
In 88 I could see it all in one day!
No doubt, right?!? Thank you for watching! :)
Wow the year I was born. Truly miss Disneyland people mover and sky way.
So glad this video was able to bring you back. Thank you for watching- I hope you enjoy the videos!
I was 7 at the time. Disneyland has surely changed over time. Not sure if it’s for the better or worse?
some better- some worse. Back then there was no nickel-and-diming the guests for sure.
Main Street Electrical Parade
Loved that parade!
Great stuff. I was there the year before when they had the dance floor in the back where toon town is now. Would have been fun to see that but i get not having the vid cam back there cause parents would have freaked out. “Why is that grown man taping my daughter?” Kind of thing. Love seeing the vintage ride setups. Rip people mover California. I agree with others too. For non digital, i cant believe how well this held up! Was source on betamax. Or 4mm? Too good to be vhs
Thank you for commenting! This was- believe it or not- S-VHS. So a tiny bit "step up" from VHS. BUT- it has been stabilized and upgraded (as best it could be) when digitized. So glad you enjoyed it- thank you! :)
Videopolis is still there in 88. Technically it's still there in 2021, as the Fantasyland Theatre. But it was still the dance club in 88.
@@thescott7539 Ahh- videopolis. What great memories. Thank you for commenting!
It would be cool to hear the original audio of the videos. I love Disneyland background music and noise.
I'd love to have it, too! The original audio here was just too low quality (static, etc). Thank you for watching and hope you enjoy more. :)
@@TravelTowner - We wouldn't have cared.
Oh I don’t care either! I enjoyed the video all the same! I just love listing to the conversations and people watching. makes me feel like I’m actually there! And not to mention Disney’s classic background music always playing I miss the parks so much
@@emmaann7602 - I was just trying to point out to Travel Towner that we wouldn't have cared if the audio was "low quality" or "static-y". We like listening to original audio regardless
@@emmaann7602 Thank you for that comment- unfortunately there was so much static and audio "screeching" that it was unusable. I really hope you enjoyed the video- thank you!
By any chance do you have any footage of Merlin's Magic Shop at Disneyland? The shop was open from July 17, 1955, to January 16, 1983.
Unfortunately- no. I hope to get more footage from other sources. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
2 people were fans of the "Tiki Room Under New Management"

Haha I appreciate that but no, just image stabilized and a little color correction. Glad you enjoyed it! :)
