Opening Day at Disneyland: Photos From 1955

[longknife]

I was hoping to see a picture of myself, but this was the closest I could find. Way back in the background is the train station and my choir was on risers there. I remember we were standing under the tower to the left of the building.

Walt wandered all over the park, savoring the joy of everyone who was there.

Not on that day, but I do remember seeing Fess Parker signing autographs there.

This was Walt’s favorite. He took the engineer’s seat at least once every day.

What a wondrous place it used to be.

And nothing but white people as far as the eye could see.

Ah, yes, back in the day when America was great.

Socal and Nocal used to be wonderous places in the 50s and 60s. But somehow Karma evens things out. Then there was gold flowing in the streets, now there's nothing but shit and rats. Somebody is doing something terribly wrong out there. Listen to Trump. Viva Trump.

You really had to disparage a fun thread, don't you?
I'll let you know that my choir had a couple of blacks and some Hispanics. I know other choirs were the same.

Whoa, that's awesome that you were there for that! Was it a high school choir?

Yes. Redlands Joint Union High School.
We were one of about a dozen.
