Waiting for Stuff- Disneyland 1963

This happy family photographs each other while they anxiously wait to... board the parking lot tram... arrive at the front gate... and climb into tea cups. What fantastic colors and clarity. 

Photo one is a great shot of the old parking lot, pre-California Adventure. Remember the huge power lines?

Photo two is a wonderful shot of the trams of that era. You'll notice the outward-facing seats and lack of safety equipment.

Photo three is a fantastic shot of the old Mad Tea Party turnstile and very early queue. Check out the use of inexpensive chain link fencing behind the kids and the slightly nicer fencing in front of the kids. 

 

Big thanks to Mark McKeon for sending the photos!
