I could have entitled today's posts "Leftuggies", but I am not hungry, so "random scans" it is.
Let's start with this undated (but certainly from the 1970's) photo. GDB reader Kathy J. sent me this tiny transparency, along with the following message: I enjoy your blog of vintage Disneyland images -- Disneyland is one of my favorite places! While walking around my neighborhood, I found an old slide in the street. The outer part is pretty beat up, but the image part itself looks OK. I could tell that it was a group of people in front of the floral Mickey. However, it is very small. The white part of the slide is 2" but the actual image is less than 1/2" by 3/4". It sounds like this is from a Minox camera, famous for its tiny "spy cameras" that gained a certain degree of popularity. My aunt had one! While the slide is a little dusty, it still looks remarkably good. Thanks to the Santa Fe logo above the train station, we know that this is form no later than 1974. Thank you, Kathy J.!
This is definitely a leftuggie - it's an Instamatic transparency, not very interesting. Still, I loved "Adventure Thru Inner Space" so much, that I still get a thrill just thinking about being able to walk into that entry. Peoplemover alert!
And finally, here's one that slipped through the cracks; we've seen this little boy before (look here and here), with other costumed characters. This time, he's found Donald Duck, and he looks pretty thrilled. Did the characters have nearby handlers back then? Ol' Donald is about to cause a mob scene.
