It's Snoozle Time! The exclamation mark hopefully makes this all more exciting than it actually is. First up is this scan from September, 1960. I guess the photo was taken from the Monorail? There was nothing else (other than the Skyway, which is to our left) that was elevated like that. It captures a sort of general view of Fantasyland, with parts of various attractions peeking up above the trees, but nothing that serves as a "main subject". It's not such a bad picture, really, just sort of "Huh?". Next, a sunny, bright, clear photo of Main Street Station from December, 1964 (the absence of any clear holiday decor makes me think that it was actually taken before December). So why is it a Snoozle? Well, maybe it isn't. But it's not that exciting. "Population 33,000,000", not too shabby for only nine-ish years of operation. Could Walt have imagined such numbers back in 1955?
