    It's strange, isn't it...? That they'd have Minnie ready to roll, but had to use an Ice Capades Mickey? You'd think the icon of the park would have been prepped before his girlfriend. LOL

    To be honest the DL entrance really didn't change all that much up until the DLR expansion. The difference is like night and day.

    One of the reasons why the "bring back the parking lot" group always baffled me. Even if you thought DCA was a extreme failure, the whole resort was massively improved. And DCA could always be "fixed".

    That Minnie in the first link (from Charles Phoenix) really is unusual. Here's the "matching" set of costumes, seen in June, 1958 at the dedication of the Alice in Wonderland attraction:
