More From March 15, 1957

I love "Disneyland in the 50s", even when the photos are a bit mundane. This first scan isn't mundane, though! It's a nice shot of guests walking beneath the arched entrance to Adventureland. Those are genuine elephant tusks, but don't worry, that elephant was a jerk. If it looks like something is missing to the left, it's because this is some five or six years before you'd see the building that would house The Enchanted Tiki Room. OK, this one is a pretty common view, but I still love seeing the long-gone Pirate Ship, as seen from the long-gone Skyway. Guests are crawling all over the ship like ants on a dropped donut. Of course 1957 is from before the tropical lagoon (and Skull Rock) were added, and the "swimming pool" pond does leave a lot to be desired. It's nice to know that they'd fix it, and beautifully!
