You never know what you will find on the internet on any given day. Sometimes you get pleasantly surprised.
I recently stumbled upon Loren Javier’s online photos. Hidden among what has to be thousands of Disney photos, are some pictures from times gone by at the Disney Parks.
When I contacted Loren to ask his permission to post the photos he replied:
“I am a big fan of AllEars.net (it was VERY helpful to me when I was doing my research for my recent WDW trip), so I am honored you want to use them…. You have my permission to use the photos and thank you for attributing them to me. ”
Thank you Loren for allowing me to share these photos with everyone!
The first group are from Disneyland circa 1973, Loren’s very first trip to Disneyland!
Notice the sign for the A Coupon or 10cents in the upper left corner.
Loren and his uncle at the Matterhorn. Notice the GAF Photo Trail sign in the upper left.
Dumbo the Flying Elephant. In this photo you can see a couple of the Sky Way cars in the background.
Notice that the placement of the Mad Tea Party is near Casey Junior Circus Train. It used to be where Dumbo the Flying Elephant is now.
Captain Hook’s Pirate Ship. Check out the “Waste Paper” trash can.
I am at the Disneyland Character Phones which used to be at the America The Beautiful Circle Vision Lobby.
Finally, the moving walkway at the monorail station in Tomorrowland.
Hope you enjoyed my photos!
These pictures are great! I first went to Disneyland in 1985 when I was two, and up through the years after that, and it’s so fun to see all the changes through the years! Thanks for sharing!
AWESOME! Thanks for sharing!
My very first visit to a Disney Park was Disneyland in 1974 when I was six. These pictures are bringing some fuzzy memories back into focus. It’s nice to see the park the way it was on my very first visit. Thanks!!
