(and they don't have them get as big of a "splash" on the water rides b/c they have good clothes on.) I learned from the photos that we were like that at one time, too!
Originally Posted By simon Gorgeous photos. Disneyland looked so fresh back then! I noticed in photo #25 that the early Dumbo elephants had HINGED EARS! Did they actually flap while you flew? Also, the original Tomorrowland looked much more fun than it does today. Disneyland was probably at it's most imaginative in the 60s.

(well okay, I assume gals dressed up as mermaids) That's ironic since there weren't any mermaids in 20,000 Leagues (unless the lagoon was technically "Mermaid's Lagoon" or somethin'). I wonder how that worked, considering dangers from the sun and such...if each mermaid swam out to her station for 15 or 30 minutes or what? It's so cool and surreal seein' 'em there and wavin', though.
